Building a car that’s perfectly optimized for every condition is impossible. No segment demonstrates this concept better than off-road SUVs. If you want a placid cabin in an off-roader, you better skip the noisy all-terrain tires; If you want a flat, comfortable ride on the freeway, the vehicle’s ability to soak up massive bumps off-road will suffer. But with more and more focus — and money — concentrated on the overlanding game than ever before, automakers are keen to offer an off-roader without compromise, applying increasingly high-tech solutions to low-tech problems.
