CarWale's Take

Good Things	Powerful engines. Balanced ride and handling package. Feature loaded M-Sport trim.	Loaded with safety features Smooth hybrid drivetrain Rich sounding music system	Incredible cabin space Powerful engine Comfortable low-speed ride
Could be Better	Limited boot space. Explosive flat-six motor not on offer. Confusing instrument cluster.	Heavy weight hampers driving pleasure Average interior fit and finish Too big for city usage	Poor resale value You get bigger SUVs or luxury cars at this price Not as much fun to drive
