Test Driver Ratings & Comments
Acceleration commentsManual shifts are still the same. Sportshift mode doesn't change full throttle shifts. 5,900 rpm upshifts with smooth powerband.
Braking ratingExcellent
Braking commentsMinimal ABS noise and vibration. Noticeable front end dive. Average for and SUV. Pedal cold be more progressive. Moves freely, then stiffens suddenly. Overal strong stopping power.
Handling ratingGood
Handling commentsExcellent steering wth plenty of feedback and a relatively quick ratio. Body roll is well controlled for an SUV, and it could go through slalom much quicker if the DSC would allow it to when turned to the off position.
