I plowed through Manhattan traffic, hopped Brooklyn curbs, rolled away long hours on Pennsylvania highways with the rig - and even managed to tackle a couple dirt roads. But a quick spin on a manufacturer’s chosen test route is rarely a good way to truly get to know a new vehicle, so I took the SVAD out for a week in the Northeast to see how it handles the harsh real world. When it launched last year, I spent an hour or so driving it around the canyons of Malibu, which was enough time to get a first taste of what it has to offer. The Series 1’s design is simple to the point of brutality the SVAD is stylized to the point of sexuality. is a minimalist machine designed for military and agricultural work the SVAD is a cosseting, quiet conveyance that’s meant to appeal to people who likely have never resorted to manual labor to pay the bills.

That’s enough to go from a stop to the Series 1’s top speed of 58 miles per hour in roughly four seconds. The first Land Rover, the Series 1, could go practically anywhere a wheeled vehicle could travel, and it did it with a mere 50 horsepower. After all, Land Rovers have long been defined by their capabilities off the beaten path, not how quickly they can traverse paved roads.
