The biggest 4x4 we do, REXTON II is a Giugiaro-designed 4X4 with up to 7 seats and serious on-road and off-road ability. With 165ps or 186ps on tap, it's up to anything you can throw at it. A better power-to-weight ratio than the Sorento or the Terracan, longer than them both and the Santa Fe.

A full-size, dynamically-engineered and radically-styled urban 4x4, at an almost outrageous sub-Freelander price. Slightly smaller than the REXTON II, but still plenty big enough; 5 doors, 5 seats, and cheaper than a Santa Fe or an X-Trail. Outguns them technically too, with a host of advanced electronic traction systems like Hill Descent Control (HDC).

Rodius has invented its own class, an MPV with enough space for 7 people and 7 pieces of baggage, plus breathtaking value. Rodius is longer than both the Grand Voyager and Grand Espace (by nearly 11 inches), and a good few grand cheaper than both. The Rodius is the difference between packing an overnight bag, or a suitcase.
