    With an SUV this big and heavy, not to mention all the robust drivetrain hardware underneath, fuel economy is not going to be a core strength, of course. In the 4x4 Manual, we managed a decent 10.1kpl in the city and a mere 13.1kpl on the highway. Despite being a fair bit lighter, the 4x2 Automatic was a bit lower down on the economy chart, with 9.1kpl in the city and 12kpl on the highway. The 60-litre fuel tank is not too bad, but for a big family SUV that’s likely to be taken out on road trips, a larger tank would have gone a long way in improving the cruising range.

    Though the fuel computer offers all the requisite information on a nice colour screen, the distance-to-empty readout disappears when the tank goes into reserve, which is precisely when you need it the most.
