Less suited to stop-and-go city driving, per its usage focus
Performance enthusiasts may want sharper dynamics than its 8.0 s 0–100 km/h allows
If you don’t need eight seats or very large cargo space, it may be more vehicle than you require

295 hp and 8.0 s 0–100 km/h enable confident highway merging when fully loaded
Emphasis on reliability and safety aligns with long-term family ownership
Around 35,000 pricing offers good value in its segment for an eight-seater
Combined consumption of 10.5 L/100 km may feel thirsty in heavy city driving
