Details that make the Range Rover the leading luxury SUV

- By Marc Almagro

A vehicle conceived for covering the distance between the country estate and the townhouse, Range Rover has been popular among the ‘country set’ for almost 50 years. Through the decades, it has seen subsequent developmen­ts in such aspects as design and styling which have elevated it to a leading luxury SUV.

Today, with constantly evolving consumer technologi­es, the new Range Rover continues to obtain high marks for efficiency and capability that dovetail with its design and status. Its re-designed cabin delivers refinement making it suitable for business or leisure trips. New seat frames with wider, deeper foams support the 20-way movement, ensuring superior comfort in the completely redesigned rear cabin and seating layout.

Range Rover’s Touch Pro Duo infotainme­nt system with twin high-definition touchscree­n controls delivers the convenienc­e of a digital butler. Work on-the-go is made easy with up to 10 connection points including domestic plug sockets, USB, HDMI and 12-volt. There is even convenient storage for the business traveler.

Finally, its new 565PS Range Rover SVAutobiog­raphy Dynamic mixes sumptuous interior with V8 supercharg­ed performanc­e of 0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds. The heated and cooled seats — plus heated arm, foot and calf rests — are wider and softer. They recline by up to 40 degrees at the touch of button. All seat functional­ities can also be controlled with a smartphone app inside or outside the vehicle.
