Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Improved dimensions with more cabin and cargo space
Significant upgrades to standard equipment
Quiet interior and great ride quality

Cons
Sluggish initial acceleration from a stop
Inconsistent electric motor "boost"
New Traffic Sign Assist needs refinement

By: 
motortrend.com

The two-door "90" body style sees increased availability for 2021 and now comes in base, S, X, First Edition, and new X-Dynamic trims. Speaking of X-Dynamic, this new trim level is also now available on the four-door "110" model and provides the appearance items from the top-spec X without the expensive off-road-tech features, such as the adjustable air suspension and active differential.

PROS
Legendary off-road abilities,
smooth on-road ride,
nicely outfitted cabin.

CONS
Six-cylinder engine isn't as perky as expected,
best accessories and options add a lot to the bottom line,
brakes are difficult to smoothly modulate.
