2.4 i 4WD (110 Hp) Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

Underpowered for its size, especially with 4WD, leading to very sluggish acceleration and limited highway capability.

Fuel Economy

Expect high fuel consumption given the engine size, low power output, and the added drag of the 4WD system.

Best Use Case: Light utility, occasional rural driving on unpaved roads.
