transmission which is really smooth with assured silky, short shifts. This really stands out apart from the good power output from the engine which is 143bhp for the 2.0l and 161bhp for the 2.4l. The ride quality acts as the litmus test to show the car-like dynamics it displays. The body roll observed in common crossovers is more car-like. It does not have a rugged appeal though and from inside is very silent. Overall it is a good package and value for money with the features that accompany the impressive ride quality. The contemporary styling and neat arches are head turners. A fine cruiser for long drives wherein you can expect 12kpl and around 9kpl within city limits. The 2.0l version could give you a tad bit more on the mileage.
