Don't forget that CMP is in its origins low cost C segment platform for Chinese market which PSA inherited from Dongfeng.
That means that in the first place it's cheap to make while for B/subcompact segment it lacks interior space. Packaging just isn't right, it isn't efficient.
Yes, this is a subcompact car. This is not a compact car and this is not by any means Giulietta successor.
C/compact segment cars have different design goals in thems of NVH, driving dynamics and so on and on.
For me drawbacks remain the same
Fixation on BEV offering. So very dubious choice of internal combustion engines. Choice of a questionable transmission for a sporty brand.
I mean. Where is GSE, where is Uconnect. Just imagine this car with a 1.5 litre 160 HP engine and a proper 7 speed DCT from Gettag in comparison with this 6 speed Chinese fakery.
Uconnect 5 is arguably better infotainment system than French junk.
In terms of dimensions I'm still wondering why they've decided against 2008 wheelbase length. In my opinion it would be miles better choice for Alfa Romeo.
With this sideline looks kind of squashed.
And yes. Design of the front end is quite busy and it's like that because of CMP platform and its constraints. I mean there is not much modularity with CMP. It's constrained like an old platform.
I mean even air intake is set in stone with this platform and because we got this strange front end design.
I almost forgot.
External colour choice is very bad.
Where is a proper blue, where is a green?
