The Hexa has tremendous road presence, helped in no small measure by its large size. You’ll like what you see on the inside, too. The cabin is neatly styled, the windows are large, the seats are very comfortable and the leather trimmings on the high-end versions lend the space an upmarket look. There’s even reasonable room in the third row. However, the big step up into the cabin is inconvenient and access to the third row is poor.
The 2.2-litre diesel motor in its higher-spec 156hp guise is refined and responsive but the cumbersome-to-use 6-speed manual transmission spoils the experience. Quite the opposite is the Hexa’s 6-speed torque converter automatic, which is a smooth operator. The Hexa is a big and heavy vehicle and feels as such from behind the wheel, especially when parking. However, ride quality is very good with the Hexa feeling its best when cruising out on the highway. All-wheel drive (offered only with the manual gearbox) adds some off-road ability but the Hexa’s size is the limiting factor in the rough.
