2.0 16V (150 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Adequate for daily driving and light family duties. The automatic transmission, while smooth, dulls acceleration and responsiveness compared to the manual.
Fuel Economy
Moderate fuel consumption for an AWD SUV of its era, but the automatic gearbox contributes to slightly higher figures than the manual.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Excellent reliability and build quality
- • Spacious and practical interior with versatile cargo space
- • Comfortable ride quality, well-suited for families
- • Good visibility and easy to drive
Cons:
- • Petrol engines can be thirsty, especially with automatic and AWD
- • Performance is adequate but not exciting, particularly with the 2.0L automatic
- • Interior styling can feel a bit dated compared to modern SUVs
- • Limited off-road capability despite AWD
