Review written on 8/1964.
The new Giza looks to put Durack on the map against rivals in the Compact SUV segment. This new Compact SUV has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Giza to the top of your buying list above everyone else? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Q9347? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!
It has been a long time since I've driven a Compact SUV that performed as well. I really hoped that the Durack Giza would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Giza did great! The 139 hp @ 2082RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Compact SUV the Giza does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Giza up to 94 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 12.895s 0 to 60 mph. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 282 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 9281 lbs which is amazing! While Durack Giza will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. The good thing about the Durack Giza is that it's actually handles better than your typical Compact SUV. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Giza is a good choice.
When it comes to comforts and luxury, the Durack Giza isn't going to win any awards. It barely meets what you need in a vehicle. The seats are hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Features are a little barren, but it has the basic necessities. Material quality leaves a bit to be desired. We would not pay a premium price for this interior finish, but if you're looking for A to B transportation, it is almost tolerable.
The Durack Giza is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 38 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...
'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Durack. And they show this off in their Giza. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.
If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Durack Giza. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.
Durack Giza's 17.0 mpg city and leaves plenty of room for improvement. We do truly believe that the engineers at Durack can squeeze a few more mileage out of this vehicle to get it up to at least average.
While the Durack Giza is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.
When it comes to Compact SUV there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Durack Giza the best Compact SUV I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
