In this case, we are talking about a front-wheel drive car, which can only manifest itself on dirt roads and rough terrain.

In turn, within the framework of off-road conditions, the sedan is actually not good for anything, and on its own will not be able to cope with any significant obstacle on the way.

The French company offers a model with the simplest and at the same time recognizable design, which will appeal to almost every car enthusiast.

In turn, the interior decoration is somewhat alarming, which is distinguished by an unusual arrangement with massive instrument scales and a non-standard information display in the center.

In general, the interior is well thought out, simple and at the same time very effective.
