The 4 x 4 also has a cruise control adapted to difficult terrain active up to 31 km/h and can use ” torque vectoring to reduce the turning radius by up to 40% “, announces the manufacturer. Finally, the driver can accelerate and brake with the right pedal only thanks to the One-Pedal Drive 2 function.

The Apple CarPlay/Android Auto-compatible infotainment system is provided by a large 12-inch touchscreen combined with 8-inch digital instrumentation. Finally, the 360-degree camera allows you to better understand the imposing size of the SUV (4.82 m long and 1.93 m wide).
