German term or phrase: bodenständig-partnerschaftlich

Marketing of car safety devices

Der technische Anspruch, der nicht nur *bodenständig-partnerschaftlich* sondern auch hochmodern ist...

something like 'which besides the *traditional trustworthiness between partners*... sounds a bit stilted. The general tone is kind of chatty, nothing high-brow. 4 points beckoning

Grading comment

I used 'rooted in a long tradition of partnering', though not ideal either, but 'down-to-earth' really means 'folksy' or 'unpretentious', which is off base here.
Thanks, anyway
