Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

This Spanish-built Land Rover clone offers a cheaper alternative to the more established marques in the 4x4 commercial van sector. Powered bythe Salim 2.8-litre engine —until last year used by lveco in its Daily range —the P510 has power, 123hp, and torque (275Nrn) aplenty for its intended applications. Obviously comparisons will be made with its UK-built doppelganger and the PS10 scores highly giving rugged off-road performance, and superior ride quality when cruising on-road.

The styling isn't conducive to good economy, but if performed adequately in our trials nonetheless. Though payload is less than the one-tonner industry standard. the 2.1 rn3 of load volume is good and we were pleased to note a low price for our standard basket of spares when tested last year.

Rugged oft-road characteristics Good load volume Low price Payload Interior behind Japanese rivals VERDICT Rand Rover may he a decent benchmark for off-roading, but the current market expects more comfort from its 4x4s
