Reviewers opinion. 

It’s not frighteningly powerful, but it’s responsive and swift enough and will supply you with a jolt of power if you ask for it. On paper the figures look sufficient, in reality they feel even better. And when you’re taking those corners with a little too much fervour, the electronic ‘nannies’ will quickly put you back on track. I purposely swerved and was corrected before I even knew what was happening. You’d have to be really talented to roll a Ranger Rover, it seems. - Ané Albertse, AutoTrader

What is the Land Rover Range Rover like inside? 

Generous, supple leather and walnut burl-style inlays await you inside the classy interior of the Land Rover Range Rover. There's no shortage of high-end tech either with a large screens for the infotainment and vehicle control, and a driver display screen that replaces the traditional gauge cluster. 

The rear seats are reclinable and deep-set for added comfort while the fronts receive both heating and cooling.

 

Style

Bold, muscular lines are the hallmark of the Land Rover Range Rover with a continuous waistline and floating roof. The large visage is dominated by a wide grille, LED headlights and a purposeful lower air dam. Large vertical strakes in the front doors are a signature Range Rover styling cue and are traced back to the rear of the vehicle with a lower-body element.
