I definitely agree with you that in case of UVs and CVs torque is more important than bhp since you will need more traction and pulling power than acceleration. But what I was saying is that today most of the Lifestyle MUVs have a very high bhp rating and obviously very high torque figures.
Check the following figures of the original G wagen :-
Engine(s) 5.0L 296 hp (221 kW) V8 & 5.4L 469 hp (350 kW) supercharged V6
