3.5 V6 (440 Hp) 4x4 SelectShift Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 4x4 variant shares the same potent 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6, offering identical strong performance. The addition of 4x4 capability enhances traction and stability in adverse weather conditions or light off-road scenarios, without compromising on power delivery.
Fuel Economy
Similar to the RWD model, the 4x4 version will have comparable, if slightly lower, fuel economy due to the added weight and drivetrain friction. It remains a thirsty vehicle, but competitive within the large luxury SUV segment.
