2.2 i 4x4 (105 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

The 105 Hp from the 2.2L engine provides adequate power for light utility but struggles with heavy loads or highway speeds. Acceleration is leisurely, and the 140 km/h top speed is limiting.

Fuel Economy

Fuel consumption at 15 L/100 km is notably high for the power output, making it an expensive vehicle to run, especially with frequent use.

Best Use Case: Rural utility, light off-road work, local hauling where 4x4 capability is essential.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Highly affordable purchase price
  • • Practical and utilitarian design for work
  • • Simple, robust mechanicals (easy to repair)
  • • Good ground clearance for rough terrain (especially 4x4)
  • • Spacious cargo bed

Cons:

  • • Very high fuel consumption for its power output
  • • Limited engine performance and acceleration
  • • Basic safety features and likely poor crash test results (if tested)
  • • Lack of refinement and comfort
  • • Dated interior and technology
  • • Potential for inconsistent build quality
