The top-spec Everest is as good as gold... Platinum even. It blurs the lines between off-road 4WDs and SUVs with its class, though it's pricey.

James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- It's the Everest with all the fruit
- Effortless V6 diesel performance
- Comfy, refined highway tourer
Misses
- Platinum is pretty pricey
- A touch firm on 21-inch alloys
- Not super efficient for a diesel

Hits
- Incredible level of luxury and fit and finish
- Stonking twin-turbocharged V8
- Handles nicely despite its size
Misses
- Can easily be confused for a regular GLS
- Misses out on the V12 engine from the Maybach S-Class
