A 1,332cc turbocharged four-cylinder with mild-hybrid assistance, making 158PS at 5,500rpm and 270Nm from 1,800 to 3,750rpm, driving through Nissan's Xtronic CVT. That wide torque band is why it feels relaxed in traffic rather than quick — 0–100km/h takes 9.2 seconds.

Both share the same engine, so the split is about chassis and kit. The Premium uses a torsion-beam rear suspension; the Prestige upgrades to a multi-link rear end, which generally means a more composed ride over bumps. The Prestige also adds 19-inch diamond-cut aero-clad wheels, a panoramic glass roof, a Bose sound system, a 10.8-inch head-up display, customisable multi-colour ambient lighting, a hands-free power tailgate and sequential turn indicators. If ride comfort matters to you, the Prestige's rear suspension is the part worth paying for.

Nissan quotes 6.2L/100km combined, which works out to roughly 16km per litre. The mild-hybrid system helps around town by smoothing out stop-start running rather than driving the car on electricity alone — it can't run as an EV, so there's nothing to plug in.

Cat B. Our review lists Category B — its 158PS works out to about 116kW, above the 97kW output ceiling that Cat A requires.

For a compact SUV, yes. The boot holds 504L, which is competitive in this class, and the Prestige's hands-free power tailgate makes loading easier with full hands. It's a five-seater, so if you need a third row you'd be looking at something bigger.

Our review calls it a well-rounded compact SUV that blends comfort, practicality and user-friendly tech. It isn't chasing outright performance or headline range figures — the appeal is that everything is easy: familiar controls, a comfortable ride and a cabin that makes sense on the first try.
