A timeless symbol of luxury, capability, and taste, the Range Rover Sport combines terrain-taming off-road technology with traditional British luxury. Range Rover is considered to be the most versatile car in the world. Even some luxurious cars which are well-known for their fit-for-a-king inner trappings and sublime engine, they are not as off-road ready as Range Rover. Range Rover has always managed to stay several steps ahead.
Today we would like to share information about the range-topping supercharged 4.2-litre alloy V8 example of the Range Rover Vogue, as opposed to the new Sport, which also packs a supercharged wallop.
The Vogue is propelled by a supercharged V8 engine, which generates 291kW of power at 5750rpm and 560Nm of torque at 3500rpm, to a claimed top of 210km/h, with 100km/h reached in 7.5 seconds.
Given the real-world rapid response to the right foot, the numbers are easy to believe. What boggles the mind is the sheer size of this 2570kg vehicle reaching the state speed limit at the same time as the vast majority of alleged hot hatches.
It stops smartly, with the Brembo name adorning the callipers around the front 360mm ventilated discs, with the rear wheels halted by 354mm versions.
At 4950mm long and 2191mm wide, including the mirrors, it’s longer and wider than the only other luxury off-roader that comes close – the Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX470.
It’s not quite as tall as the Lexus but sits on a slightly longer wheelbase, which benefits rear passenger leg room more than the cargo space, which is adequate for most luggage requirements but would be stretched for a long off-road journey if spares and fuel were added to the list.
The Range Rover’s look is deceptively compact until you try to park it. Thankfully the flagship comes with a reversing camera, front and rear parking radar and the gimmicky but amusing Venture Cam.
It’s not a Survivor or Lost sponsorship thing, just a remote camera that feeds an image to the LCD screen that also displays most of the vehicle’s functions.
Also controlled from the touch-screen monitor is the sensational Logic7 Harman Kardon 14-speaker sound system, complete with subwoofer, which can rattle windows with the best of them. All that grunt comes at a cost when pulling up to the bowser for a tankful (104 litres) of PULP. Land Rover claims a city cycle fuel consumption of 22.4 litres/100km.
Height-adjustable air suspension, electronic stability control, dual front, side and side curtain airbags, sunroof, adaptive bi-xenon headlamps and 20in alloy wheels rate high on what’s included in the purchase price.
Complaints are limited to the rear bench seat is on the firm side. The front electrically adjustable pews are comfortable, if not overly supportive against lateral movement. Rear vision is somewhat restricted by the back-seat head restraints but a forward vision is nothing short of commanding.
