Is it not a Land Rover. Don't expect it to perform like one. I feel the car is too firm for off road, you'll get out with a bad back and shot kidneys.

Pics are from my drive to Vermont, there were white out conditions at certain points on the highway. And the drive up to the Trapp Family Lodge had snow/ice covered road and I got up it fine, whereas, my friend slipped and 180'd.

I took my NX offroad a few months ago.. and posted pics Pics of Your NX thread, but didn't get any response from anyone; either they don't care or, I'm not supposed go offroad in an NX .

It was a truck trail up the side of the mountain and the NX did fine. There were deep ditches and some damp mud, but no standing water. I felt a little slippage down a decline, but nothing too bad. The NX is not a rock crawler, but definitely capable on the trails/uneven pavement.

Clearance was good for that trail, but sharper inclines/declines might need the approach angle of the non-F Sport front bumper.
