V 5-door (Y61, facelift 2004) Overview:

4.5 (197 Hp) 4x4 Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Offers decent power for highway cruising and general use, but lacks the low-end grunt of the diesels for serious off-roading. Manual transmission provides more control.

High fuel consumption, typical for a large displacement petrol engine in a heavy 4x4. Expect frequent fuel stops.
