When it comes to luxury SUV, there is one name that is leading the segment and it is Land Rover. The British carmaker had just launched the full-sized Range Rover and it is something that is worth studying. After all, Land Rover has spent billions of dollars to develop a new aluminium monocoque that is features in the Range Rover.
This ensures that the SUV is bigger than its predecessors, while weighing an astonishing 430kg less than its predecessor. Such impressive stats come together with a better performance and efficiency.
The 5-door SUV has a design that strongly symbolizes the Range Rover heritage. Of course, the latest model got a touch of modern technology like LED headlamps and a more dynamic appearance. Inside the cabin, everything spells luxury all over it.
Land Rover revealed that the Range Rover is also an excellent vehicle for those who requires a chauffeur. The rear doors have a huge opening and the legroom is spacious. Furthermore, there are various multimedia options and they are all built with premium materials. There are also fewer buttons to toy with as most stuff is controlled by a central touchscreen console.
Driving the Range Rover can be a pleasurable experience as well. The vehicle has a more fluid handling thanks to the ‘active lean’ software. In short, the Range Rover is simple to operate as everything is automated. Just by tapping on the Terrain Response 2, all drivers have to do is manage the brake and the accelerator while the Range Rover handles the tough off-road terrain.
The entry level model retails at £72k and it is powered by the 3L TDV6 engine that runs at 255hp, 442 lbs-ft and 37.7mpg. The second level is powered by a TDV8 with 335bhp and 516lb-ft of torque. The top of the line model runs offers 500hp thanks to the V8 petrol engine that comes with it. The latter retails at £100k.
