It lacks the final punch in satisfying the driver’s whims, and the four-cylinder engine does not match the power of the V6. The touch screen control is quite complex, and the standard head unit is equipped with manual physical control that is intuitive. The cargo capacity decreases when you move ahead between car wheelhouses and limits the load flexibility. The maintenance of the car costs you a lot, and the resale value is just average.
