Overview and Common Failures

Body and Interior The paintwork is very thin and prone to chipping, but the body is galvanized and does not rust. On forums, people complain about weak headlights and overly delicate windshield. The interior here is simply huge, and the assembly quality and finishing materials are top-notch. Owners note that at high speeds, they are bothered by strong wind noise. The electrical system does not cause any trouble, the only complaint is about the blind spot monitoring system. Engine The 3.8-liter G6DN engine is completely new and has not shown any breakdowns yet. Engines with direct injection tend to form carbon deposits on the intake valves. Transmission The 8-speed A8LF1 automatic transmission causes vibrations at certain speeds. There have been several updates, but this issue has not been completely resolved yet. HTRAC all-wheel drive system is known only for its best side. It is important to monitor the condition of spline connections and check for lubrication. Suspension The suspension is quite comfortable, and there are no complaints about reliability so far. The braking system is quite effective, but the lifespan of the discs and pads is a bit short.
