Handles astonishingly well for a big 4X4 especially around the bends. The ride is a little bit firm but it is still comfortable over the bumps. On the motorway the power delivery is astonishingly good. I would recommend to overtake quickly on the motorway, Put the gearbox in sports mode and floor the throttle. If you do not need to overtake just use it in normal drive. Use the sports mode only for emergencies. Otherwise it will use a lot of diesel, which is expensive.  I would be very happy to do another motorway journey in this car. The car has got black leather interior, Sat Nav as standard, which comes with speed camera warning. There are paddle to change it into manual, left side to go down, right side to go up. You can over take with a normal throttle but it just doesn't do it as quickly, if you need to get out of trouble extremely quickly use the paddles and the sports mode together and it will do this with ease.

Luxury air con single cd player front and rear parking sensors and radio with am/fm cruise control. It has a reasonably sized boot and an manual tailgate which helps you get boot lid up because it does it for you.
End of report.
