It may have not gained the firm footing against its main rivals such as Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat, and Vauxhall Insignia. But it created its fan base that treasure comfort over performance.

Interior designing was upped from the previous generation. The cabin was modernized with the increased built quality and it was the order of the day.
