Pros and Cons

  • HUGE 470-litre boot space
  • Will accommodate a whole lot more than just a weekend’s worth of luggage easily.
Skoda Slavia
  • Clean styling that will not feel outdated quickly
  • spacious interior for 4 adults
  • features like a sunroof and easy to use touchscreen
  • both engine options offer good performance
Citroen Basalt
  • Bare basic feature list - Sunroof
  • cruise control
  • push-button start stop are sorely missed; 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine does not feel refined
  • Automatic gearbox is slow to respond.
Skoda Slavia
  • Some plastics like the roof mounted light switches could be better quality. It is not the widest rear bench and the reverse camera could have been of better quality.
