Top Gear

“Its designers have moved mountains to ensure that it can still move up mountains. This all-terrain agility comes despite serious efforts to make it more car-like than ever on the open road.

It’s extraordinarily capable, its breadth of ability unsurpassed, even by more expensive and opulent machinery. Inside it’s sumptuously appointed, outside mercifully restrained and, as always, unimpeachably British with a capital B.“
Evo

“The Range Rover is an SUV icon, built to be one of the most upmarket and comfortable ways to travel, whatever terrain you need to cross…Very comfortable ride, luxurious interior, spacious boot… one thing that has never changed is Land Rover’s commitment to the Range Rover being the most capable off-roader you can buy.“
