2.7 V6 (335 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
This 2.7L Twin-Turbo V6 EcoBoost engine delivers robust and effortless acceleration, making highway merging and overtaking a breeze. It feels genuinely powerful for an SUV of this size.
Fuel Economy
With a combined fuel consumption of 10.7 l/100 km, the economy is acceptable for a powerful V6 twin-turbo engine in a large SUV, but it's not class-leading. Expect higher figures in urban driving.
