2.0 (237 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Offers the same 237 hp as the AWD variant, providing sufficient power for city and highway driving in a front-wheel-drive configuration.
Fuel Economy
The stated fuel consumption of 24.0 l/100 km is exceptionally high and would make this trim highly uneconomical, suggesting a potential data anomaly or specific heavy-duty cycle measurement.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Spacious and comfortable interior with quality materials.
- • Smooth ride quality, ideal for long journeys.
- • Available powerful 3.6L V6 engine for strong acceleration.
- • Intuitive infotainment system with good connectivity.
- • Generous cargo capacity for an SUV in its class.
Cons:
- • Base 2.0L engine can feel underpowered when fully loaded.
- • Fuel economy for the 2.0L FWD trim is exceptionally poor (if data is accurate).
- • Some interior plastics feel less premium than European rivals.
- • Steering can feel numb, lacking engaging feedback.
- • Resale value might not match some competitors.
