A very sensible car — I like how it looks, it’s well put together, economical on fuel, the interior is comfortable and fairly traditional without any gimmicks, excellent handling, the performance is really good despite it being a large and heavy car; the trunk could be a bit bigger, but it’s still fine — roomy and generally sufficient for family trips, and above all, so far the car has been reliable.

PHEV model — very pleased with the car after 2.5 years. In the summer months it runs practically on electric power alone. The large 2.5‑litre engine is surprisingly frugal, about 0.5 l/mil. Downsides are the ventilation in winter, which causes fogged windows, and that we can now only charge the battery to 80%.
