many cars today weigh over 2.0 tons, not just the sealion 7. have a look at this … the sealion 7 (a sport suv, not a pickup) has 163 mm of ground clearance, which is higher than any sedan. if you need a pickup, don’t buy an suv … 555 after over 30k km of driving the sl7 awd, i honestly don’t notice the weight during normal driving (i’m not a hobby race driver). if anything, it gives me a greater sense of safety in a case of an accident ... the ground clearance has never been an issue for me so far, i do not drive off-road ...
