The modified AIRMATIC air suspension, designed specifically for demanding conditions, increases the ground clearance to a maximum of 307 millimetres where required, and raises the fording depth to 600 millimetres. A fixed panoramic sunroof over the third-row seats, which is equipped with a sunblind, also provides additional comfort and enhances the sense of spaciousness.
