Land Rover Range Rover

How it looks on the street: Land Rover’s flagship Range Rover looks like a splurge. It’s done what few car brands have accomplished, stayed the course on classic beloved design that communicates both fitness and finesse. We drove the Range Rover SE SWB P400, a spacious two-row stunner with plenty of seating for five, apported with all the accoutrements desired by the well-heeled.

How it feels on the inside: It’s a treat to climb aboard. Seating is comfortable and inviting offset by light that spills in through the sliding panoramic roof. Nifty features like sunblind rain sensing wiper, rear wiper privacy glass, and heated rear window auto dimming proves that the British accompany understands how to make one feel snug and cozy on a rainy day. We could stayed wrapped up in the supple Windsor leather seats. Commands are communicated from the 13.1'' Screen and JLR Pivi Pro Infotainment System. We love the added touch of the Meridian sound system. Safety systems include a clear 3D surround camera, park assist, and high s-peed emergency braking.                           

How it drives: Like the boss that it serves. The unapologetic 3.0l Turbocharged and Supercharged 6 Cylinder Gas Engine in the model we drove most recently produced 395 Horsepower and 406 lb-ft, earning an old-school 20 mile per gallon. The power is distributed so evenly that Range Rover can handle any feet with gusto and superior handling. Land Rover also makes a plug-inhbrid model, the P550e.

Space for people and things: Our two-row option felt just right. For a car this nice, sneaking in a third row, even with a long-wheel base feels like missing the point, which is to sit back and relax.

What to compare it to: BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS

How much does it cost: The manufacturer’s price was $107,400. Our model included options for a Meridian sound system and a fancy sunset-gold paint hue that bumped up the sticker to $123,960.
