Land Rover Range Rover Review: Everyday Strengths and Real Trade-Offs

Land Rover Range Rover gives off a polished first impression without leaning on gimmicks. The clearer side of the story is a SUV shape, 5052 / 5252 mm length with a 2997 / 3197 mm wheelbase and a broad 55-image gallery, and that matters more than empty excitement.

That tends to show itself fastest in weekday commuting, when the easy bits and the compromises stop hiding.
