Learn to drive a big lorry first - this one turning radius is worse!

Land cruisers seem a little too big for Sg roads imo

They only look bulky. Other than height, other dimensions are about the same as E class/5 series. Not really too big.

Oh I see, thought it’s the similar  size as Land Cruiser( like in the pic) that I saw in Aussie a few weeks ago.Then realize Land Cruiser and Land Cruiser Prado got size difference😆.

@Toeknee_33 I personally don't think this is the real V70R.

First of all, the position of the V70R badge seems off center (the 'R' was added?), and I remembered the real R has twin exhaust.

Sharp eyes! Yeah it's a 2.0T FWD..... 

Had before. Still a good practical car with slightly better turning radius and can be easily chipped with BSR PPC to 200 plus HP. No need to practice driving a lorry first!

Even if its not a "R" its still ranks my desirability chart. The 5-pot is the key. Love that characterful engine. And the wagon body too!

Have 5-bangers (with 1 short break) since early 2000's. Won't comment about character but they are robust engines. And my furry master loves the wagon....

I believe they are build on ladder frame chassis.. so while dimensions are similar, those that wants to carry stuff via the jungle will look for those 

x5 series is more a Soft utility vehicle than a sport utility vehicle

Err... twin exhaust was uncommon 20 - 30 years ago, and usually reserved for performance variants. 

As for the "R" letter, seen too much of such badge upgrade, including some cars in my neighborhood, so kind of 见惯不怪。🙂

 

@Toeknee_33 I have no chance to test or sit in car with 5 cyl engine, so don't know how addictiit can be. I only know VW and Audi fan boys swear by the 5 cyl setup in R & S variants.
