When encountering a porous area, this car can travel at speeds between 10-20 km/hour easily and the suspension of the 2.5-inch Fox Live Valve works very well as a damper during these obstacles.

The screen system in the middle dashboard that shows the front display also makes it easier for drivers to see in more detail the conditions around the vehicle.
