- Reliability (2)Commonly plagued by electrical glitches, rear differential issues, and oil leaks, trailing significantly behind Japanese and German competitors in longevity.
- Maintenance (2)Labor and parts are expensive; the vehicle requires specialized service and a proactive approach to prevent small issues from becoming catastrophic failures.
- Technology (3)Features a premium Alpine audio system and clever 4WD tech for its era, though the DVD-based navigation and lack of modern connectivity feel very dated.
- Comfort (4)The HSE trim provides high-quality leather and 'stadium seating' for great visibility, complemented by a suspension tuned to soak up bumps effectively.
- Dynamics (3)While it offers class-leading off-road capability via the Terrain Response system, on-road handling feels top-heavy and the 3.2L inline-six provides adequate but uninspiring acceleration.
