2.5 i (101 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 2 stars

Performance Verdict

Severely underpowered for a minivan of this size, leading to very slow acceleration and strained performance, especially with a full load.

Fuel Economy

Relatively good fuel economy for its era, making it a more economical choice for those prioritizing running costs over performance.

Best Use Case: Primarily city driving or light suburban use where high speeds and rapid acceleration are not critical.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Spacious and versatile interior, ideal for families
  • • Practical and functional design for cargo and passengers
  • • Available AWD option for enhanced traction
  • • Economical diesel engine option (where available)
  • • Comfortable ride for long journeys

Cons:

  • • Underpowered base petrol engines
  • • High fuel consumption for V6 petrol variants, especially with AWD
  • • Dated safety features compared to modern standards (pre-Euro NCAP)
  • • Typical 90s American build quality with potential for interior wear
  • • Some V6 models can feel sluggish with full loads
