Mercedes G Class

The G-Class, often called the G‑Wagen, is a blocky icon that blends unapologetic off-road prowess with a plush, modern cabin, announcing your arrival before you even step out. It’s equally at home crawling over rocks or cruising city streets, and owning one feels like adopting a very expensive, very capable personality.

Porsche Taycan Wagon

The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo dresses electric sportscar intent in a practical, slightly rugged estate body, delivering rare performance thrills with genuine everyday usefulness. It feels unmistakably Porsche inside — taut, premium and driver-focused — while the raised ride and extra luggage space make it as happy on a muddy weekend escape as it is on a twisty back road.
