It’s an ideal choice for city drivers who want Mercedes polish and cutting-edge tech without the ostentation of a larger saloon, and it even manages to make the daily commute feel a little bit special.

It swaps showroom polish for rugged honesty and practical thinking, appealing to buyers who want a modern Defender alternative that feels more workhorse than luxury toy.
