2.2 i (105 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

With 105 Hp for a 1760 kg SUV, performance is modest, suitable for light duties and urban driving but sluggish on highways or when fully loaded. The 140 km/h top speed confirms its utility focus.

Fuel Economy

A combined fuel consumption of 7.9 l/100 km for a 2.2-liter petrol SUV from 2001 is reasonable, offering a decent balance for its size and era, though not class-leading.
