Over the last few months, the sedan version of this model has been revised from head to toe. It is now powered by a 109-hp 1.6L engine. Sold at a bargain- basement price, the sedan’s primary competitor is the as-yet unchanged hatchback version, which is a favourite in the sub-compact market thanks to its practical liftgate, robust 122-hp 1.8L engine and very comfortable interior.
