Pros & cons

Effortless overtakes from quick 0–100 km/h in 4.6 s and strong 600 Nm torque.
Emphasis on reliability and safety aligns with family priorities.
Confident motorway travel thanks to strong torque and high top-speed headroom.
Combined consumption of 10.2 L/100 km raises running costs, especially in city traffic.
If most journeys are short urban trips, its strengths go underused.
Shoppers seeking a track-focused car may want something sharper despite the quick sprint.
At $75,000, pricing sits firmly in the premium bracket.

Price can overlap entry luxury crossovers, so compare if brand prestige matters
