So, this is the range rover and its quite a bit like a queen doing some tough mud job because you see it’s a very regal vehicle you can play with the muddiest of terrains. But obviously that dual ability doesn’t come cheap…
Yes it’s pricey. This car starts from just under eighty 84000 pounds… hmmm…
Okay lets start the review with it’s design and this is a car that is instantly recognizable world wide. It has got plenty of presence inside and also feels so expensive and also feels like a range rover, well, that’s how it should be. But the design seems to be a bit dated in compared to the latest Mercedes GLS or the BMW X 7. But the interior is so effortless and classy, everywhere you touch is leather, even there’s leather on the grab handles. The entry level car has super soft semi aniline leather for the seats which is so lovely..
Now all the way down to the door bins, the outside is kind of padded and have felt in the inside. The quality in the car is really really amazing. Everything including the switches for the windows got some shiny metals in there, you also got nice controls for your seats, metallic air vents, paddle shifters and much more.
Talking about technologies you’ve got three huge entertainment screens, one for the climate controls, another one your normal infotainment screen and the last one the digital drivers display. All cars also get this massive panoramic glass roof. The entry level model also gets the keyless go and hands-free opening for the tailgate which should open when you show your leg under it. It has a very wonderful meridian sound system. The next model is the VOUGE SE which has soft closing for its doors. It also adds an off-road cruise control to the terrain response system.
They also come with heated and cooled rear seats. And then there’s the adaptive cruise control with lane keeping assist, so the car stays in lane.
Mostly all the functions of the car is controlled using the three screens, the main infotainment screen controls everything like your navigation, bluetooth and all that stuff, but to be frank the system is not so responsive there’s a little bit of lag in the performance but i think that’s ok.
Now moving under the armrest you have two usb ports and a 12 V charger behind that you have a fridge for cooling you drinks. Then moving to the centre console you have got a couple of cup holders and some other stuff like the gear shifters and driving modes.
Then you have got two fairly big glove boxes. Then you have got huge massive door bins where you can fit a bunch of water bottles so you don’t go dehydrated.
Now talking about seating, you have got separate armrest for the front with electrically adjustable seats, hmmm this is a really comfy car, but what is it to sit at the back, you have got lots of head room lots of knee room. And it’s easy to fit a child seat and even it comfortable to sit in the middle with two child seats attached also the floor is flat. really good for long distances, the rear seats are also electrically adjustable which move individually.
Moving to the boot, the ange rover has a gorgeous split tailgate which is both power operated, after all its a range rover. It ha s got a massive boot you can fit a lot of stuff in that. The carpeting in it makes it feel so expensive. You can fold down the rear seats with just a push of a button, actually two yeahh..
Now a unique feature, when you turn on the car the gear selector majestically rises out of the center console. So then this range rover is very very practical.
Taking about the engines, you can get this car with two choices of diesel engine there’s a three litre v6 with two Tunes seventy five horse power or a 4.4 litre v8 with 340 HP though both do 0-60 in just 7.5 seconds. you can also get a hybrid version if it’s economy you want and it will do 85 mpg even though it has got only a 2 litre forcing the turbo petrol engine though that is ofcourse supplemented by electric power and so can get from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. Then there’s another one with 565 horsepower and they’ll do 0-60 in just over five seconds and a super quick but also very thirsty returning around 20 miles per gallon now all Range Rovers come with an automatic gearbox as standard and of course all-wheel drive. One of the greatest feature is the great forward visibility.
