What is it good at?

Keeping you comfortable in the serene cabin when at the same time it might be under 3ft of water, pushing through mud or snow or even climbing over rocks. It will take you to your destination no matter what. Storms, floods, ice, snow; even a deep mud pit will not stop it. If “Auto-Terrain” mode seems to struggle, just switch it to “mud”, “rock”, “sand” or even better, shift to neutral and select “low-range” mode. Whatever it is you are stuck in you will soon be leaving it behind!

What else do I need to know about it?

The interior built quality is impressive. The seats are perfect and visibility is great. Despite its size, any fully licenced driver can drive it with ease. The monster under the hood can be very smooth, quiet and civilized when your foot just rubs against the gas pedal. The 8-speed automatic ZF transmission is epic and the brakes remain strong even if you try to smoke them. You need to set the suspension to the lowest height to pass under some entrances. When driving on “Auto-Terrain” mode it corners relatively flat and feels quite engaging. It can accelerate to 100km/h in 5.4 sec and brake from the same speed in 42 meters. Last but not least, it can tow up to 3,500kg.

Apart from 5 adults that can be from Danny DeVito to Shaquille O’Neal it can easily fit three baby seats across and three strollers in the back.

Plus, if you own one of these you can probably afford delivery services so do that instead.

Is there something it cannot do?

Park in very tight spots and turn you into a cool person if there is nothing to work with in the first place.
