What is it?

Boxy British bruiser with amazing road presence and unbeatable off-road ability. Vast cabin has seven seat option.

What’s hot?

  • 2.7-litre V6 strikes great balance between power and economy
  • Hill Descent Control takes sweat out of off-road driving
  • Air suspension gives impressive ride quality on-road
  • Rearmost seats lift out of floor void and pop into place
  • Simple but impressive dashboard design

What’s not?

  • Some cabin materials feel a little low-rent
  • Vast size makes it unmanageable in tight spaces
  • Auto gearbox too slow to kickdown
  • Weight takes the edge off performance with seven up
