I’ve got the 15 diesel automatic model. I’ve done about 8k miles in the past four months. It’s a bit clattery in the morning. Agricultural in fact, but soon settles down and sounds ok. The high beam gets itself a bit mixed up at times. When it needs it, it doesn’t do it, and when you don’t need it, it does it. The pattern masking system is really good though. The sound system is decent but a couple of the speakers let it down by sounding a bit rattley. The intelligent cruise control is amazing and the lane departure warning system is good. The driving experience isn’t as good as these guys make out though. The front end seems a bit light with a little bit of understeer, but all in all, it’s not too bad. 7 out of 10 for me.

This was brand new when tested, as you’d expect they lose there edge a few years old, not as responsive, handling, steering feels different etc how many miles has yours done?

This is a fantastic car the perfect combo of an SUV and an estate, we’re especially fond of this colour. It’s a strange one adaptive lights should have hb assist incases where dipping is the safer option - e.g. cars approaching on a blind hill, 90 degree corner etc - congrats and keep us posted
