The 4x4 traction provides extra confidence in adverse conditions or on unpaved roads, although its combined consumption of 8.7 l/100km in the WLTP cycle may be a factor for some to consider. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, offering a good balance between comfort and stability. The speed-sensitive electric power steering facilitates maneuvers in the city and provides precision on the road.
