Facelifted in early 2011 and "e-HDi" economy/low emissions version added. "e-HDi" labelled a "micro-hybrid" by the manufacturer but in reality just has stop/start and other fuel/emission saving devices (lower ride, low rolling resistance tyres etc). Usual build quality issues; range subject to 12 recalls so far. UK vehicle population (at December 2010) = 82,378. Model is current so total by time of publication will be approaching 100,000.
