What's it like to drive?

Great maneouvreability with a small turning circle, easy to handle, great traction in snowy conditions and very reliable.

A god send in snowy conditions also with a differential lock fitted as standard too.

Great in snow with permanent 4 x 4 transmission, and the SX model fitted with snow and mud tyres as standard.
