Five seats and a 453 L trunk suit family travel and weekend getaways
Good value in its segment at about $27,000 given the performance
Ranks strongly for safety among its peers
Combined consumption of 11.2 L/100 km may be a drawback for heavy commuters
Front-wheel drive may not satisfy drivers in harsh winter climates
453 L trunk can feel limiting for cargo-heavy use
Seats only five, so not ideal for larger families

340 hp V6 and AWD deliver strong performance and confident traction
Quick 0–100 in 5.1 s helps with merging and overtaking on long trips
Practical for families with 5 seats and a 530 L trunk
Good value in its segment around 60,000 for this power and drivetrain
Combined consumption of 8.2 may not suit efficiency‑focused buyers
Petrol‑only powertrain offers no electric driving capability
