I actually like the sweeping line towards the rear end of the car. Great for off-roading and towing with its high ground clearance. I don’t mind the firm ride at all. Spacious, good looking, great engine, safety features, etc. This SUV can actually go real off road where others like Sorento can’t! They are called SUVs but their ground clearance is minimal. It’s a great allrounder. Not popular therefore you won’t see too many on the road ad nausea. With a bull bar and roof rack and tow bar it becomes a great touring vehicle!
