Having been fully revised in 2011, this pretty midsize SUV comes with available all-wheel drive and your choice of two engines: a 191-hp 2.4L 4-cylinder with direct injection or a 276-hp 3.5L V6. The only available transmission is a 6-speed automatic. Occupants will enjoy the generous head and leg room, as well as cargo space that ranges from 258 to 2,052 litres. A significant revision will bow for the 2014 model year.
