Rear under carriage

I have a seen a couple of G05s parked on the streets but I have finally saw one on the road last night. I was driving behind it and noticed that the rear under carriage has more bits and pieces exposed compared to the E70s and F15s. Is it like this for all G05s?

What I have noticed on European luxury SUVs over the years is how aesthetically pleasing the under carriage is. Unlike the MDX, Q70, etc. are.

I currently have a XC90 but I do miss my E70 X5 a lot. No way I was going to get a F15 X5. That steering.....

I'm do plan on getting a X5 or X7 after my XC90.

The M-Sport Trim is different than the X-Line trim. Be sure to look at both. Not sure which you saw. I have an X-Line with trailer hitch so I don't see much exposed beyond the hitch.

Same - I made the E70-to-G05 jump a few weeks ago. Very nice upgrade and was worth the wait.

That's it. It was at night and I guess my LED headlights made it even more obvious.

I guess you can have it painted black to make it less visible.
