Chrome underbody?? New one on me. And light alloy wheels for this mammoth? Shaving a few hundred grams off something weighing in at 3 tons seems a little academic to me, really. Still, always thought this was a handsome car, even moreso now.

It says "chrome underbody protection," not the whole underbody, but it more accurately would just say "skidplates" in the front and rear bumpers. You can see them in the first two photos. And while it does weigh over 2.5 tons, it is lighter than the competing US-built full-size SUVs and offers a more comfortable 3rd row. And there is a diesel, even in the US.
Not my choice in vehicles but as a large and extremely safe 7-seat SUV it's hard to beat...as long as you go with the diesel.
