Summary

This specific 7-seat version adds a third row with two seats and changes the configuration of the second row to accommodate three people, making it the ideal tool for large families. Due to the additional weight of the 7-seat configuration and the BlueTEC system, the empty weight (curb weight) exceeds 2.3 tons, which easily affects the acceleration performance compared to the 5-seat version. The Euro 6 BlueTEC technology makes this model very environmentally friendly for its time, but it requires attention to the AdBlue injection system and the cleanliness of the diesel fuel to avoid clogging the DPF filters.
