1.8 (122 Hp) Automatic Verdict:

Rating 7 stars

Performance Verdict

The 1.8-liter engine provides adequate power for daily driving and city commutes. While 122 Hp is sufficient, the automatic transmission can sometimes dull responsiveness, making acceleration feel unhurried, especially on highways.

Fuel Economy

Fuel economy for the 1.8L automatic is moderate for a naturally aspirated engine in a crossover. It's not class-leading, but acceptable for its segment, with consumption increasing notably in heavy urban traffic.

Best Use Case: Mixed use, suitable for city driving and occasional highway cruising, particularly where robust suspension and ground clearance are beneficial.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • High ground clearance suitable for rough roads
  • • Excellent value for money in its segment
  • • Spacious and practical interior
  • • Robust and simple mechanicals
  • • Comfortable ride quality for its class

Cons:

  • • Automatic transmission can feel unrefined
  • • Interior material quality is basic compared to rivals
  • • Engine performance is only adequate, not spirited
  • • Limited advanced driver-assistance systems
  • • Brand perception and resale value in some markets
