CarTell take
We haven't driven the LBX yet. On paper, AWD adds $4,000 over the Sports Luxury FWD. The Morizo RR at $80,800 plus on-roads is a different, hot-hatch proposition.
Why consider it
- 3.8 L/100 km combined claim is the most efficient luxury small SUV on sale.
- 5-star ANCAP under the 2024 protocol.
- Mark Levinson 13-speaker audio and ventilated seats available.
What to know
- 100 kW combined is modest, motorway overtakes need planning.
- 332 L boot is smaller than X1 and GLA.
- Rear knee room tight for adults on longer trips. e-CVT drones under hard acceleration.
Who it suits
