* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.
- Reliability (3)The powertrains are generally robust, but the 2009 model is known for occasional electrical glitches and issues with interior component longevity.
- Maintenance (4)Parts are widely available and relatively inexpensive, making it an easy vehicle for DIY mechanics or independent shops to service.
- Technology (2)Features are very basic for the era; the infotainment system feels dated, and it lacks many of the safety and convenience tech options found in rivals from the same year.
- Comfort (3)The front seats provide adequate support, but the interior is marred by hard plastics and the rear passenger legroom is surprisingly tight for a mid-size SUV.
- Dynamics (3)While it offers impressive off-road capability and decent towing for its size, the on-road handling feels truck-like and lacks the precision of its unibody competitors.
