Reviewer score 50% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

With standard all-wheel drive and seven seats, this is a car built on a proper SUV architecture, not a crossover spun off a big family hatchback’s underpinnings. It feels solid and robust, built for towing things, filling with people big and small, and whatever they want to bring with them. The drivetrain is good but not outstanding, making for a car best enjoyed at leisure if you want to avoid its gruff diesel tones.

Pros

Excellent all-wheel drive
Excellent infotainment system

Cons

Lack of refinement
Uncomfortable to drive
