Driving it
What's it like to drive?
On-road excellent, smooth, fast, quiet and reassuring. It's not like the German's in the corners, but that is not the point. Off-road it is quite literally astonishing, feels like nothing would ever be able to stop it.
What's it like to park?
Easy, front and rear distance sensors and reversing camera mean you can focus on looking at approach angles in the huge mirrors.
