Summary

This 7-seat configuration adds about 35 kg of extra weight to the vehicle compared to the 5-seater version, but the M276 engine with 306 hp copes with this with complete ease. Due to the direct injection system and increased power, this model is much more dynamic and more efficient than previous gasoline versions. The interior space of 148 cu ft makes it one of the most abundant tools on the European market at that time. It is recommended to check the sensors of the Start-Stop system and the condition of piezoelectric injectors, which are vital for the performance of this modern engine.
