What owners and testers say

Independent evidence only. Never the maker’s own marketing.

+ The second-generation 2.2 mHawk diesel: 130hp and 300Nm, quiet, near vibration free, and pulling from about 1,000rpm so overtakes need no planning+ A commanding driving position with big glass and effectively no blind spots, which owners rate as the reason they keep it+ Genuinely good over broken surfaces, the body-on-frame chassis and tall tyres making rough roads a non-event− Never crash tested in this form, and the 2016 Global NCAP result on the same generation was zero stars for adults with an unstable bodyshell− Unsettled on smooth but cracked roads, where occupants get tossed about vertically and sideways, with plenty of body roll through corners− Slower than the car it replaced: 13 seconds to 100kph against the older engine's 11.8, despite the refinement gain
4 more things owners and testers say
+ Long-distance comfort from the high, armchair-like front seats, with owners reporting 500 km days without complaint− No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and no rear USB ports, with interiors owners describe as late-2000s basic− Ergonomic misses: no bottle holders in the front door pockets, an awkwardly narrow gap to reach the seat height adjuster, and a rear seat base too long for shorter passengers− Boot space is poor, and owners question it as an only family car

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.
