Interiors – Walk straight inside the new Range Rover, thanks to its wide doors and height and you will simply be amazed by the level of quality and luxury inside the cabin. Everything in the new Range Rover makes you feel this is a concept car and a not a production model, leaving you spellbound. The attention to detail is staggering and so are the comfort levels in the opulent interiors, which can give a 7-star presidential suite a complex. Material quality is of the highest standard and the new Range Rover can be called the Rolls-Royce of SUVs. Soft leather, wood and metal have been used flawlessly to create a panache of luxury, making you feel a sense of occasion every time you step in. Even the stitching on the seats have been monitored thoroughly to give consistency and visual delight. Everything has been meticulously thought off, including storage places, which although abundant are neatly placed. There are umbrella holders on doors along with bottle holders and map pockets. Twin glove boxes are opened by buttons on the dashboard, while there are twin sun blinds for each of the front passengers. Cabin lights can be illuminated with a feather touch.
Performance – The fourth generation Range Rover features all new underpinnings and Land Rover engineers have moved to an all aluminum monocoque construction which lends to higher weight savings over a steel body. The light weight body weighs 39% less than its predecessor, which is quite a massive reduction for a vehicle which has grown in size and technology. The benefits of using aluminum are several, including higher stiffness, reduced fuel consumption and better performance. The new Range Rover also has a greener footprint which will please the environment conscious around us.
