Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Nicely equipped from the base model up,
cabin is spacious for its class,
refined driving demeanor.

Cons
Vague steering,
all-digital dashboard may not appeal to everyone,
noticeable turbo lag with entry-level turbo four.

By:

A good-looking small SUV that drives rather well. Worth considering if you're in the market.

PROS
Intelligent,
good-looking design inside and out,
excellent infotainment

CONS
Could do with a plusher ride.
Turbo-less petrols can feel a bit weedy.
No electrified option
