High 210 mm ground clearance: Easily clears deep ruts and unpaved upcountry tracks.

What’s not so good

High CRSP customs valuation: Import duty and taxes represent a significant investment, especially on V8 badges.
Specialized maintenance requirements: High-voltage battery systems and twin-turbo V8 engines require certified diagnostic tools.

Third-row legroom: 7-seater third row is best reserved for children or short trips.
CVT fluid service interval: Xtronic CVT requires genuine NS-3 fluid replacement every 40,000 km.

High CRSP customs duty valuation.
Air suspension and active roll bars require expert maintenance.
