The Land Rover Range Rover is the last word when it comes to 4x4s. It’s by far the best one money can buy and its legendary off road capabilities are backed up by fantastic designs and a great overall driving experience. Basically, if you’re after something gargantuan that’ll conquer anything from rough terrain to tarmac roads and bad weather, the Range Rover is the obvious choice.
Like a Titan, the Range Rover was first summoned from the deep in 1970 and has gotten bigger and better ever since. What started out as an experimental project has become a mainstay in the 4x4 niche and it certainly reigns supreme. With its uncompromisingly rough, ready and rugged approach, there’s really nothing in the same league.
It’s fair to say that older models were quite brutal looking and let you know from the start what they were about. Newer versions have mellowed somewhat and are actually very stylish indeed. There’s a lot of ‘bling’, and it gives a high quality feel. Interiors have improved massively too, and are no longer ‘just somewhere to sit’. These days the finish is impeccable and high quality materials adorn almost every surface. There’s a huge amount of space inside, and with a monstrous boot it’s clear that the Range Rover hasn’t lost any practicality over the years.
Be under no illusions, this is a massive car, so don’t expect it to be as nimble and agile as, say, a Mini. Despite this, it handles extremely well and the ride is comfortable thanks to adjustable suspension modes. Massive engines ensure it’s not short on power too. While it’s not as hot in the turns as a super mini, how many of those can drive over a mountain? What it lacks on road is given back 10 fold in the wilds. However, it’s still a great option for everyday driving.
Look, while the Range Rover isn’t cheap to buy brand new by any stretch of the imagination, you can pick up the bargain of a lifetime if you go for a second hand one. Motors.co.uk lists upwards a monumental amount of pre owned cars for sale at heavily discounted prices, so paying less and getting more is to be expected. With a used Land Rover Range Rover, there’s pretty much nothing you can’t achieve.
Clearly, if you’re thinking of moving into the 4x4 genre and want to get the best car possible, you need only consider a Land Rover Range Rover. It has been at the pinnacle of off road autos for decades and never ceases to amaze. Practical, versatile, spacious and undeniably stylish, it’s a gentle giant most of the time and is a fantastic option for families, executives and adventurers alike!
