Advantages
- Multiple powertrain options including mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, and plug-in hybrid cater to different needs.
- Interior is spacious with plenty of headroom, legroom, and a commanding driving position.
- The plug-in hybrid offers up to 56km electric range with impressive combined efficiency.
- Technology is comprehensive with Co-Pilot360 including adaptive cruise control and lane centering.
- Towing capacity of 2,100kg is excellent for those who need to pull caravans or trailers.
Pay Attention
- Ride quality is firm making it less comfortable on poor roads with noticeable body movements.
- Interior quality is average with some hard plastics and a lack of the premium feel from rivals.
- The plug-in hybrid is expensive with a significant price premium over the standard petrol.
- Some early models suffered from reliability issues particularly with the PHEV powertrain.
- Infotainment system is complex with numerous menus that aren't always logically organized.
