I can honestly say this was a massive surprise 😃
The drive in this vehicle is superb, through the hills in Canberra & surrounds was excellent. We ended up in Kenlow Forrest (I think that was the name) which was a little surprise as it it was 10mins from the hotel.
Handling in this is like driving an Evoque (sporty & tight) but with so much room (one of the guys in our vehicle was 6'2" & he was so comfortable he preferred to sit in the rear & enjoyed the chauffeuring around all morning). The rear seat slides 160mm fore & aft, it also reclines if required. Hence why the rear seat is so comfortable. It can be tailored to what suits that person. The 3rd row is ok & can fit an adult who could probably sit in that row for an hour but not much more I gather.
Loadspace area wins hands down compared to the rivals. BMW X3, Audi Q5 & Volvo XC60.
Off road was as with all LR's Brilliant for its market & class leading (It is a LR after all) ability.
Hill Descent Control has been upgraded as with Traction Control.
If it is something you are after get in & have a drive, I think you may also be Surprised😀
