Matt Campbell
Senior Contributor
Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Feels made to be used and abused by families
- Cheaper than equivalent flagships
- 3.5-tonne towing capacity
Misses
- Behind the times for interior tech
- No power bump for updated model
- Off-roaders may be better off buying a cheaper version
