ABS is fitted to high spec models. Early V6 models had a driver’s airbag which was only fitted across the range from ’94 onwards. Locks were quite strong, but no immobiliser was fitted until 1998 and no alarm was offered.

Both long and short-wheel-base have more than enough boot space for most people’s needs. Long-wheel-base model has a third row of seats as an alternative to big carrying space. Seats fold to allow farmer types to lug straw bails around and interior storage space is abundant too.
