CarExpert's Take
James Wong
Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- A hop, skip and a jump ahead of the old one
- Wonderfully appointed, practical cabin
- Good balance of poke and efficiency
Misses
- Most rivals give you more grunt for similar money
- Touch-heavy iDrive 8 can be fiddly, convoluted
- Subscription-based features are stupid
