The Alturas G4 is large and imposing and has the kind of presence SUV buyers like. The big surprise is the cabin, which is really well-finished and also packed with features. Seat comfort is good and the middle row is particularly roomy but third-row passengers will feel cooped-in. The Alturas sits quite high off the ground so is not the easiest SUV to get into and out of.
The Alturas G4’s 181hp, 2.2-litre diesel engine is remarkably refined and delivers good performance, even if it lacks the punch of larger turbo-diesels. Adding to the relaxing experience is the Mercedes-sourced 7-speed automatic transmission that is smooth in its shifts. The Alturas G4 is not an SUV that likes to be hustled and the ride is a bit lumpy; but the latter bit holds true of its nearest rivals as well. A light steering helps in town but there’s no getting around the Alturas’ size.
