Review written on 8/1964.
We've had access to the Alpleon Giza for a while now. This Compact SUV surprised us more than the Giza or the Q9347. Is it worth the price? Or should you buy a different Compact SUV? Read ahead to find out!
The first stop for the Alpleon Giza was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Compact SUV is built for performance. Alpleon cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 195 hp @ 4582RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 104 mph in an impressive 11.148s 0 to 60 mph. With 179 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 4920 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. The good thing about the Alpleon 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 we got to interior testing on the Alpleon Giza we found it to be below average. While you wouldn't want to use this vehicle on a road trip, it is comfortable enough for short rides and tiny commutes.
Inside the Alpleon Giza it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 38 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space ensures that you always have plenty of room to do whatever it is you need to do. And that makes us happy.
'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Alpleon. And they show this off in their Giza. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.
Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Alpleon Giza is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.
Whether or not the Alpleon Giza is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Giza awful fuel mileage of 12.6 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!
While the Alpleon 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.
I was happy with the time I spent in the Alpleon Giza. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Compact SUV you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Giza but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
