We like
-
On-board comfort and refinement are both quite convincing
-
Interior feels expensive and inviting, even in entry-level grade
-
It offers some appealing technical features that are unique to the class
We don’t like
-
This is no design icon and no amount of chrome can cover for that
-
Its smooth-riding motive character deteriorates markedly at greater speeds
-
It’s expensive compared with premium-brand rivals and the electric range is poor
