Good Things
  • It's bigger, better and easier to live with
  • Up to date tech
  • Comfier, upmarket interiors
Could be Better
  • Not as cushy a ride as it's other stablemates
  • Might take the self satisfaction out of off-roading for the hard-core enthusiast
Expert's Conclusion

One of the best off-roaders on the market is now better. Just as capable but more cushy and comfy too.
