Unique and distinguishable
Very nice materials and design. Controls are in a logical position and do not take very much thought to operate.
Decent performance for a V6 propelling a heavy SUV. Smooth and similar gas mileage as in smaller SUVs
The vehicle feels and sounds solid. Obviously this is not an objective way to measure safety but it does give the passengers a subjective feeling of security. The vehicle handles wells, has stability control and is ranked high in safety ratings.
The driver seat is comfortable and the operating controls are easily within reach and identifiable by feel. Nothing about driving this vehicle distracts the driver from the task at hand. The mirrors are also large and cover a broad area around the veh.
