Owners appreciate how well it handles on UK roads and value the excellent comfort levels. While some wish for better fuel efficiency, the overall enjoyment and dependability overshadow this concern. A fantastic choice that owners are happy to keep for years."

Steve's Verdict

Utterly dependable and brilliant in poor conditions, with huge space and visibility. Not exciting and feels dated inside, but owners value its honesty and durability.

Who drives a car like this?

AI generated owner profile based on psychographic inference

Often chosen by families who split weekends between city errands and muddy footpaths, valuing safety, space, and calm competence over flash. Risk-averse optimists who prioritise reliability, clear visibility, and control; brand trust matters more than badges or fleeting trends. School runs to trailheads; dog-friendly, kit-heavy households needing fuss-free access, all-weather assurance, and low-drama long-distance comfort. Warmly practical; praise stability, visibility, and winter confidence, forgive middling infotainment flair, notice durability and honest running costs.

Did you know?

The flat-four layout lowers the centre of gravity, so passengers feel less body roll on twisty B-roads—and children are likelier to nap peacefully.

Rear doors open close to 90 degrees, turning child seats, bulky prams and muddy boots into a far less awkward dance in tight parking bays.

Symmetrical all-wheel drive shines in the everyday: wet multi-storey ramps, leaf-strewn village lanes and soggy campsites—quiet confidence that actually reduces driver fatigue.
