• A test drive found the 2.2 HDi lively enough for its size and praised the selectable 4x2/4x4 modes and generous passenger and luggage space.[2]one source
• Comfort opinions are mixed: some owners are very satisfied, while others criticise sound insulation, cabin plastics and overall ride comfort.[1][3][5]

Typical faults

  petrol CVT

• One owner experienced a failed driveshaft seal and wheel hub bearing within a year.[3]one source
• A 2.2 HDi automatic lost power and stalled; in one case a dirt-blocked fuel filter was the cause, and replacement cured the fault.[4]one source

  2.2 HDi automatic

• A 2.2 HDi owner noticed a burnt-clutch smell under heavy load at 6,000 km; the forum identified the pressure plate as the likely cause.[4]one source

  6 000–6 000 km · 2.2 HDi

• On the 2.2 HDi automatic, the transmission cooler sits close behind the left front bumper; a minor impact broke one owner's pipe and caused an oil leak.[4]one source

  2.2 HDi automatic

Which engine and version to take

• The 2.2 HDi is the strongest choice in the supplied evidence: a test drive found it suitably lively for a large vehicle.[2]one source

What to avoid

• Choose a petrol CVT only after a careful test: the sources include both a judder complaint and a negative assessment of CVT reliability.[1][3]

What to check at the inspection

• Test the petrol CVT during gentle take-off and acceleration; it should not judder.[3]one source
• Inspect the driveshaft seals for leaks and listen for wheel-bearing hum during the test drive.[3]one source
• Test the 2.2 HDi automatic under load and in a high gear; if it loses power or stalls, check the fuel filter and diagnostic history.[4]one source
• On a 2.2 HDi, check for a burnt-clutch smell or slipping during hard acceleration.[4]one source
• On the 2.2 HDi automatic, inspect the transmission cooler and pipes behind the left front bumper for impact damage and oil leakage.[4]one source
• Listen for a front-end rattle during acceleration; in one case it came from a resonating, poorly secured intake duct.[4]one source
