Review
When we look for a 6 or 7 seater SUV which can seat adults in row 3 there are only a few around. Most rear 3rd row seats are for kids or legless adults. The large Range Rover, XC90, Q7/8, Rx350L QX80 and the GLE/GLS have stratospheric pricing. The CX9 is no more available unless you buy used and the CX 8 perhaps about makes it at 4900 mm. Then comes this beast which I test drove today. It is super luxurious but practical, drives reasonably well and does feel its size when it silently and serenely traverses the tarmac. The interior is very well finished, as good as the luxury brands, maybe better, and safety features plentiful. Very eay access to rear 3rd row and lots of headroom and leg room but the floor is higher on the third row. Lots of cameras - even one that looks at your side when you indicate towards the side you intend to turn to so you don't curb the beast. Its little tall and not sure whether it can enter some carparks. 3.5 V6 which maybe alitlle thirsty. Not sure how fuel prices and taxes with be in the future, but its a tempting proposition as its at leat 100K cheaper than the others except the Mazda 8.

What I like
Size! The interior space is fantastic. Smooth V6. Build quality - as good as the top Genesis SUV apparently. Comfort and safety. Good value pricing for the package

What I do not like
Size! Challenge to navigate in tight carparks. 3.5 litre tax bracket. Very intmidating front look - will probably frighten even the Infinity QX 80. A 200K plus Hyundai?
