zzdcar' Expert Review

What’s new

　　Revisions for 2005 include a new optional touchscreen navigation system. Rear barn doors are no longer available, as all models now come with an overhead rear liftgate (with separate liftglass).

　　

zzdcar says

　　One of our favorite big SUVs, thanks to strong engines, a smooth ride and excellent functionality and feature content.
