How does the vehicle’s weight distribution affect its handling on steep terrains in Pakistans northern areas?

In hilly areas like Murree, Swat, and Hunza, heavier vehicles with improper balance can struggle with handling. Are owners reporting stability o r control issues with the X7?

So far, no widespread complaints, but:

On steep climbs e.g., Murree, Swat, Hunza, the turbocharged engine performs well

Front-heavy distribution may slightly affect tight cornering downhill

Use of Hill Descent Control and proper gear management is essential

Conclusion: Generally stable on hills, but extra caution is needed when fully loaded.
