CarExpert's Take
Paul Maric
Founder
Paul Maric drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- One of the nicest SUV interiors on the market
- Leads the segment in terms of tech and connectivity
- Highly efficient and punchy diesel engine
Misses
- Ride is too firm and unforgiving with the optional 23 inch wheels
- Big step up in price over the last model
- Not a huge amount of room in the third row

- Bellowing V8, near unstoppable off-road
Misses
- Loses surround-view cameras for 2024
- Still very dated despite tech upgrade
- It likes a drink
