3.6i (252 Hp) 4WD Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Identical to the FWD variant, the 3.6L V6 provides strong 252 Hp, ensuring capable acceleration (9.5 sec 0-100 km/h) and confident power delivery, especially with the added traction of 4WD.
Fuel Economy
The 4WD system, while enhancing traction, does not improve the already high fuel consumption of 13.2 l/100 km, making it an expensive choice at the pump.

- • Powerful 3.6L V6 engine provides strong acceleration
- • Spacious 7-seater interior suitable for large families
- • Comfortable ride quality for long journeys
- • Available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) enhances traction and stability

- • Based on a rebadged GM platform, which may raise reliability concerns for some
- • Interior design and materials can feel dated compared to rivals
- • Limited Euro NCAP safety data available
