Pros / Strengths
Powerful Diesel Engine: High torque (700 Nm) makes it very capable off-road and for towing.
Luxurious & Spacious: 7-seat configuration, premium interior, advanced infotainment, and comfort features.
Serious Off-Road Credibility: Full-time 4WD, diff locks, crawl control → very capable off paved roads.
Fuel Efficiency (vs Petrol): Diesel gives a better efficiency / torque balance for long-range and heavy loads.
Considerations / Potential Drawbacks
Fuel Cost: Diesel may be cheaper per liter, but turbo diesels can still use a lot of fuel under load or at high speed.
Weight: Large SUV, so maneuvering in tight city or parking areas might be less convenient.
Maintenance: Turbo diesel engines (especially twin-turbo) can be more expensive to maintain; make sure service network is strong.
Upfront Price: High-spec VXR trim is expensive (especially in GCC region).
