What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

For It’s strong off-road; spacious, well equipped and very reliable

Against Far from a cheap option; sheer size could be off-putting

Verdict Short of class, but very good in every other way

Go for… D4-D GX

Avoid… V6 VX

  • 1. Cracked cylinder heads on the diesel engines can cost as much as £2500 to fix
  • 2. Faulty fuel safety cut-off valves can cause misfires on petrol models
  • 3. Cabin may look pretty drab, but it's as roomy and well-built as the very best
  • 4. Rack and pinion steering gives better feedback than the different systems of some rivals
  • 5. Five-door models had the option of two extra seats in the boot when they were new
