If you need a full time three-row SUV, this one might not be perfect... -- Subscribe here: youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1--
But if you are in the market for a plush, five-seater SUV with bonus back seats for those occasional trips with 7 seats required, it might still work.
I was BLOWN AWAY by the value here, and while it's not the most amazing car to drive, it's practical, comfortable and has heaps of great tech.
And the EV driving range from the Super Hybrid PHEV system??? AMAZING!
Watch to see what it's like on fuel use as a hybrid, too!

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
