Signature Features
• Iconic Design: Signature three-pointed star grille, flared fenders, exposed spare tire, and that unmistakable door “thunk” — it’s a status symbol that doubles as a capable off-roader.

• Off-Road Prowess: Low-range gearing, multiple drive modes, and advanced camera/terrain systems make it one of the most capable luxury SUVs in mud, rocks, or sand.
• On-Road Thrill: Explosive acceleration, aggressive exhaust note, and sharp handling for its class — it feels more athletic than many expect from a ladder-frame SUV.
