The six-piece plastic underbody panelling of the GL offers extra protection for driving off-road. The Off-Road Pro engineering package included as standard supplements this with a reinforced underride at the front made from stainless steel. The fording depth can also be increased by 90 mm to a maximum of 600 mm, making light work of rocky stretches or stream crossings.
The double-wishbone suspension at the front and the four-link rear suspension, both of which come with self-supporting subframes, are ideally suited to the challenges of off-road driving. The isolated design of the subframes in terms of vibration ensures that very few jolts are transferred to the vehicle's body. As a result even rough terrain will feel comfortable to you.
