Paul Maric drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- One of the nicest SUV interiors on the market

- Highly efficient and punchy diesel engine
Misses
- Ride is too firm and unforgiving with the optional 23 inch wheels
- Big step up in price over the last model
- Not a huge amount of room in the third row
