I tried one when I was looking for my next car, very comfy seats, better built than the X-Trail and slightly wider. The engine is great unless you like to travel foot down everywhere. I’ve had CVT’s before, you soon adjust and this one has plenty of go, so you don’t need to always floor it like my wee Nissan of old.
Lots of reviews both UK and Australia. See Honest John’s long term test for a 6 month view. The car is built by Samsung in Korea ,so its a French version of a Japanese car built in Korea…lol.
Just got back from a month in NZ driving a 2.5 petrol CVT Rav4 (not the new hybrid), similar size & power, albeit petrol & it was no problem over 1700 miles.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
