Wow, I didn't realize that it's the size of an SUV... even more impressive IMO...

A touch smaller, but pretty much small car size with extended wheels.

Rover Size and Dimensions Perseverance’s body and other major hardware (such as the cruise stage, descent stage, and aeroshell/heat shield) build upon the success of NASA’s Curiosity rover and include many heritage components. The car-sized Perseverance rover has roughly the same dimensions as Curiosity: it’s about 10 feet long (not including the arm), 9 feet wide, and 7 feet tall (about 3 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, and 2.2 meters tall). But at 2,260 pounds (1,025 kilograms), Perseverance is about 278 pounds (126 kilograms) heavier than Curiosity.

I heard reports that just after the vehicle landed, NASA received a flood of telephone calls to alert them that the extended warranty on their rover is about to expire.

This landing was much better faked, than the others.
