Twin-turbo V8 Range rover.
It looks cool, and their interiors are nice (not what I like, but "solid luxury feel"), but that sounds mechanically like a nightmare. Could be wrong.
0-60 in 3.6.
Tows 5,000 lbs, 7k with a special hitch.
>USD $150-170k
It seems more road focused than off road to me, but maybe their active suspension gimmickery can lift it enough for good angles.

Capable at comfort maybe, everything else, not even close. There's a reason why these things lose like 75% of their value after 4 years.

that's the bmw engine. have fun with that. they used to run the na and supercharged 5L british v8s and they were pretty good. typically their failure points were electrical and it wasn't usually anything that stopped the vehicle from working.

typically all land/range rovers are very capable offroad straight from the factory. it's the core of the marque, but you're paying a lot for it.

the body is an aluminium monocoque these days and they're very tough. there's a chase on youtube with a range rover versus florida highway patrol. the bodywork was still pretty much undamaged by the end of the fight. took a lot to stop it. actually it took a boat to stop it. quite funny really.

fuck me they're expensive though.

So does my 1994 half ton V8 without any turbos and it only costs pocket change
