It’s not a seven-seater. It doesn’t have a massive boot. It’s certainly not a serious off-roader.

And it feels built to last. Sure, the weight does ultimately limit the car’s dynamic agility on winding and hilly roads, and its efficiency is nothing to crow about. But if you’re thinking about a BMW iX M60 or Tesla Model X Plaid, make sure you think about this too.
