The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

465 L to the top of the rear seatbacks and 703 L to the roof
Vehicle-to-load support and 1,500 kg braked towing

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.
