(das Auto) ist ein vollwertiges Überland- und City-Fahrzeug mit hoher Variabilität und Umweltverträglichkeit.
Part of a marketing strategy for a new car.
Whilst I don't find this hard to understand, I'm having a few problems putting it into good English. Umweltverträglichkeit is tricky and I am wondering whether variability is ok for Variabilität. Maybe versatility would be better?
