2.5 D (175 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Delivering the same 175 Hp and 441 Nm, this 2WD variant offers strong, reliable performance for daily driving and long journeys. It feels responsive and capable for a vehicle of its size.
Fuel Economy
The combined fuel consumption of 10.6 l/100 km is typical for a large diesel minivan. While slightly higher than the 4WD variant (possibly due to different gearing or test cycles), it remains a practical choice for those prioritizing space and torque.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional interior space and versatile seating configurations (7-9 seats)
- • Strong and torquey 2.5-liter diesel engine suitable for heavy loads
- • Available All-Wheel Drive (4WD) enhances traction and capability
- • Robust build quality and proven reliability of the D4CB engine
- • Good value proposition for its size and utility
Cons:
- • Fuel economy, while reasonable for a large diesel, is not class-leading
- • Interior design and technology may feel dated compared to newer rivals
- • Large turning circle can make maneuvering in tight spaces challenging
- • Lack of a Euro NCAP safety rating may concern some buyers
