CarExpert's Take
Anthony Crawford
Senior Road Tester
Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Feels properly quick and handles superbly for a boxy SUV with a comfortable ride
- Benz has the edge on technology at the moment and it's easy to use
- Eminently practical and reasonably priced against rivals
Misses
- Engine note could be more interesting
- Third-row seating is tight
- Cargo space behind third row is limited to a few grocery bags
