Importing a car yourselve into the land of gnomes can be very expensive and time consuming so check first. I know people there who drive all the year round in a cross section of vehicles I have been there many times in my rear wheel drive Mercedes shod with winter tyres and have never had a problem.If you are going to live there then I suggest you invest in a preheat system for your vehicle it will always be warm in the morning.You do know they have one of the best road cleaning systems in the world a road is either passable or not passable they do let you use roads just because you have a 4x4 if its closed its closed its easier to drive in gnomeland than it is in southern england.

That engine and transmission was available in the UK - in the older model. The CVT is reliable for a CVT, and the engine is pretty robust - used by multiple manufacturers.

gnomland is england not swiss.amount of fiestas,micras and ka's used by smallminded people in england is enourmuos.----outlander is 2wd not 4x4.cvt lasts 60000miles if you lucky.forget about it.swiss driving audi quattros ,mercedes 4matic,subaru,bmw x.cars in switzerland cheaper and better quality then in france,germany or uk.how long you will be staying in swiss ?if less then 3yrs better option will be leasing car then buying.

I lived and worked there in a main dealers, but they are probably out of your price bracket (range rover) DO NOT try to import avehicle, it is even harder than people say. If your budget will run to it, get new, as the swiss used car market is just like the uk.. Buyer beware, and dealers warranties just as bad. Try a subaru, good reputation and good dealer network, as someone else says, roads are passable or not, get good winter tyres, and snow socks or similar and you will be ok, but keep your speed down... taxes and insurance are more expensive and labour costs will make your eyes water. buy yourself a sat nav with speed camera locations..
