2.5i (171 Hp) 4WD Xtronic CVT Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Adequate power for daily driving and light off-roading, but the Xtronic CVT can make it feel less responsive under hard acceleration.

Fuel Economy

Average fuel consumption for a 4WD petrol SUV of this size, not the most economical choice for regular use.

Best Use Case: Mixed driving, light towing, regions where petrol is preferred, or for its smooth automatic transmission.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Spacious and practical interior with optional 7-seat configuration
  • • Comfortable ride quality, well-suited for long journeys
  • • Capable 4WD options for varied terrain and weather conditions
  • • Strong and fuel-efficient diesel engines available
  • • Good Euro NCAP safety rating for peace of mind
  • • Generous boot space, especially in 5-seat configuration

Cons:

  • • CVT gearbox can feel unengaging and noisy under hard acceleration
  • • Some petrol engines can be thirsty, particularly the 2.0i and 2.5i
  • • Interior materials, while durable, are not always premium-feeling
  • • Limited true off-road prowess despite 4WD options
  • • Third-row seats are best suited for children or short journeys
