    DRIVING:
    Did a short drive once

     

    Exterior Great paint work. Decent body styling. Below average platics on skirting, tail light panels. Too much of glass on headlamps and tail light clusters. Bound to hit your wallet if you have a bang.

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent dash console loaded with goodies. Poor quality of plastics. Suspect will rattle once you clock in over 3,000 km. Finish of the fake woodwork is too cheap. Seatring space in drivers console is great. Rear first row has the best seating profile and leg room of all SUVs in the market. Would have prefered a rail on the mounting so seats could be slid and leg room adjusted.Third row seats are just showpieces. Zilch leg room. Can put children upto 4 years only on these seats.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Standard mHawk 2,2l engine with some tweaking. Expected a better power train for the price. Fuel economy yet to be proven. Smooth gearbox except for 2nd gear.

    Ride Quality & Handling Smooth ride, but has slight side roll particularly when turning.

    Final Words A commednable improvement on the Scorpio. But when you take in the pricing, the WOW factor diminishes.

    Areas of improvement Considerable.

    Good exterior finish. Comfortable drivers seats and rear seats. Nippy engineTacky plastics. Zero leg room in thrid row seats. Overpriced.
