![]() ![]() The differences are largely found inside, with the Active 1 using a 6.5in touchscreen infotainment system, the ste-up B&O Play model adding premium speakers and an 8in touchscreen, and the Active X adding heated door mirrors and a rear view camera pack as standard. There’s appeal to the torque of the 118bhp diesel, but it feels heavier, less agile and transmits a bit of zing into the body.įord offers a choice of three variants: the entry-level Active 1, uprated Active B&O Play and fully-loaded Active X.
