Its useful shape may endear this sliding-door MPV to some caravanners but its performance was pretty average all round, including its use as a load carrier. I didn’t find the ride at all comfortable with a caravan on the back, and it restarted only grudgingly on the (admittedly damp) hill route as it struggled to get a grip.
