2.0 CRDi 4WD (112 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The slowest option, with the automatic transmission further dulling the already modest power output, resulting in sluggish acceleration.

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