How to spot one

Look for

  • Hatchbacks have a tall, almost MPV-like profile.1
  • Upswept headlights sit below a strongly raked windshield.1
  • Early cars have the badge between two grilles and a smile-shaped lower intake.8
  • SW wagons have silver roof rails.1
  • CC models use horizontal LED taillights.8

Year by year
