Overview
The Range Rover is still the definitive luxury SUV. Effortlessly wafty air suspension, a whisper-quiet cabin trimmed in the finest materials and presence that no rival can match. The D350 diesel delivers huge torque with surprising economy, while the P530 V8 adds effortless pace. Rear-seat comfort rivals a first-class cabin, and it remains genuinely capable off-road. It is enormously expensive to buy and run, but as a statement of quiet, confident luxury, the Range Rover stands alone.
