Pros and cons
What’s good
- Outstanding high-speed highway stability: Long wheelbase and Symmetrical AWD track rock-solid at speed.
- Sub-2,500 cc KRA tax advantage: 2.5L FB25 engine qualifies for 25% excise tax bracket.
- Plush executive cabin: High-grade leather, Harman Kardon audio, and whisper-quiet acoustic glass.
What’s not so good
- 150 mm ground clearance: Mind steep estate speed bumps when carrying passengers.
- CVT rubber-band effect under hard acceleration: Lineartronic CVT prioritizes smooth cruising.
