2.0 CRDi 4WD (112 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

The slowest option, with the automatic transmission further dulling the already modest power output, resulting in sluggish acceleration.

Fuel Economy

Decent fuel economy for a 4WD automatic diesel, but the significant performance penalty is a trade-off.

Best Use Case: Very relaxed driving, utility, budget-conscious buyers not prioritizing speed.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Reliable and durable powertrains, especially the diesel engines.
  • • Spacious and practical interior with good cargo capacity.
  • • Good value for money on the used car market.
  • • Available 4WD system provides decent capability for light off-road and adverse weather.
  • • Comfortable ride quality for daily commuting and longer trips.

Cons:

  • • Some petrol engines can be thirsty, particularly the V6.
  • • Interior plastics can feel somewhat cheap compared to rivals.
  • • Certain engine/transmission combinations can feel underpowered or sluggish.
  • • Not the most refined driving experience, with noticeable road and wind noise at speed.
