Drivers left leg can bang against some door hardware. This needs some minor re-think. Otherwise a nice elevated driving and upright position with tremendous forward visibility. Front pillar does not cause much of a blind spot. see full Land Rover LR4 review |

The interior prioritizes appearance over actual utility; it's surprisingly cramped for such a large vehicle. For example, my Highlander is roughly the same size externally but seems downright cavernous on the inside in comparison. A rear passenger can fully stretch out in the Toyota. Not so in the Acura. see full Acura MDX review |
