Performance Verdict
The 2.0i petrol engine provides similar power to the diesel but requires higher revs. Its 15.6-second 0-100 km/h time indicates it struggles with the vehicle's weight, especially at highway speeds, feeling underpowered.
Fuel Economy
A combined fuel consumption of 10 l/100 km is typical for a petrol SUV of this vintage, but it can be thirsty under heavy load or spirited driving.
