Fiat Sedici

Performance

1.6-litre petrol is underpowered. 1.9-litre diesel offers more pull through the gears.

Driving

Doesn't corner well, and the ride isn't particularly good. Does offer a lot of grip, mind, and intelligent 4x4 systems send extra power to the wheels when required.

Feel

Engine noise can intrude and annoy at high revs.

---

Price

Economy is poor, residuals will be poor, insurance won't be great. List price is not that competitive.

Quality

Interiors look and feel nice and should be durable. Engines should not provide any problems.

Safety

Good traction and ABS. Twin front and side airbags and ISOFIX child seat mountings are provided as standard.

---

Space

A little cramped in the back, although it's fine upfront, and the view is good. Boot is small at 270 liters but expands to 670 with rear seats folded.

Equipment

Remote locking, electric windows, aircon and CD player as standard. Climate control and alloys at higher specs.

Alternatives

Toyota RAV4

Pros

Quality build, good drive, offroad ability.

Cons

Poor space in rear and boot. Unimpressive engines.
