Likes

Great ride, quick off the mark, great roadholding

Roomy, ambundant tech stuff

Settings for every option

Dislikes

Size and colurs of screen very difficult to see

The size of the fonts used on the instrument panel is way too small

The third row seats are too tight. Only useful for small adults and kids. You cannot push the second row forward

Multimedia and safety technology: 8/10

Plenty of it, however, the poor font size used on buttons, screen etc. are too small.

Practicality: 7/10

Excellent. The doors are substantial compared to the Isuzu D-Max's, which are light and flimsy. Lay out great, however, third-row suitability is compromised as you can't adjust second row forward.

Driving: 8/10

Very firm on the road. Great road holding.

Running costs: 6/10

About what I'd expect from a vehicle of its size. It's manageable. However, it's not an EV or Hybrid, but being diesel it goes far. Its towing capacity is excellent - you won't get that with an EV.

Reliability: 8/10

So far so good as I've only done 20k. A friend has one with 100k and it's being thoroughly reliable.
