It has an overwhelming presence. And it exudes a sense of luxury in every direction, from the front, sides, and rear.

The manufacturer's lineup is identified by numbers and letters, and the car I drove that day was the "X" series, which refers to SUVs. Within these, the performance and size differ depending on the number, and the "X "7"" is the largest in the series, boasting a total length of 5.17m, width of 2m, and height of 1.835m, making it look like a moving fortress.
Sitting in the passenger seat was Yuka Nakajima, an actor who is active in a wide range of fields including movies, dramas, radio and YouTube. Yuka, who also drives a car herself, started off by saying:
"The scenery is completely different from usual. The car is really tall. When we gathered I thought, 'Wow, it's big,' but when I got in the car I felt that even more. This road also felt narrower than usual... It must be hard to turn. It's about as big as a bus, right? (laughs)"
Of course, it's not as big as a bus. But that's a good way to put it, and it may have that much presence on public roads. Of course, the interior is also spacious, ensuring a comfortable drive. In addition, the driver's seat and passenger seat have active ventilation and massage functions. It was more comfortable than home, and I felt a little regretful.
