2.7 (150 Hp) 4x4 Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
With a slight bump to 150 Hp, this version offers marginally improved power output. The automatic transmission enhances driving convenience, particularly in stop-and-go traffic or during less demanding off-road maneuvers, though it might slightly dull the overall responsiveness compared to the manual.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption remains high at 14.3 l/100 km (likely combined or urban), which is comparable to the manual's urban figure. The automatic transmission, while convenient, does not significantly improve efficiency and might even lead to higher real-world consumption for some drivers.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional off-road capability and ground clearance
- • Robust and simple construction, easy to maintain
- • Large cargo bed and high payload capacity
- • Good value for money in its specific niche
- • Durable leaf spring rear suspension for heavy loads
Cons:
- • Very high fuel consumption across all trims
- • Basic interior comfort and outdated design
- • Limited on-road performance and refinement
- • Lack of modern safety features and Euro NCAP rating
- • Noisy cabin and harsh ride quality on paved roads
