The Range Rover always springs to mind when the words ‘luxury’ and ‘SUV’ are mentioned. Other manufacturers may have tried to mimic the recipe used by Land Rover, however, none have more years in the luxury SUV game. Land Rover realised early on that the key to the new Range Rover wasn’t a complete re-design but revising and updating old features. The finished product is one that we are familiar with in the way it looks and drives, but undoubtedly feels refreshed. The overall design is now slicker with a less ‘boxy’ appearance with nicely proportioned sections.

The latest Pivo Pro touchscreen is larger than the previous generation with satisfying haptic feedback when navigating and selecting. Physical HVAC dials remain which doesn’t overcomplicate things, with a re-designed gear selector which replaces the cylindrical selector design. Only the latest technology has been employed with the new Range Rovers. An example of this is the 48-Volt ant-roll bars that communicate directly with the sat-nav, so the car knows if any sharp corners are ahead. Rear-wheel steering is a standard feature, making the large dimensions feel more manageable in smaller spaces.

This particular example is the P530 First Edition with a 4.4L V8 up front. The First Edition is on par with the Autobiography trim level, with an array of desirable features as standard. This includes the 11.4” Rear Screen Entertainment and Executive Rear Seats. The Executive Rear Seats feature a rear centre console that folds down and hosts additional features via a large touchscreen display, where you are able to fully recline the rear seats and access the rear climate control – as well as revealing twin cupholders. The boot features an electrically folding parcel shelf and a boot floor that can be propped up to be used as a back rest whilst you sit on the tailgate. Range Rover are back with the pinnacle of SUV luxury with their flagship model.
