Stability isn’t a problem with the Kyron, even at high speed – but it took time to get there, and the ride was pretty uncomfortable with a big caravan on the back.
Four-wheel drive is selectable, but even in 2WD the Kyron hauled its caravan up the 17% slope from a standing start. Not that we were standing for very long, because parking brake performance was very poor. The Kyron did gain marks for its 117kg noseweight limit.
