70: Range Rover & Range Rover Sport – mobile luxury only a Rolls can beat

We've conjoined the Range Rover entries because the two cars are now so closely mechanically related, but there's no doubt that the 'Full Fat' Range Rover has a hauteur that the Sport lacks.

It may not be as good looking as the old 2002 L322 model, but the current Range Rover does the luxury thing exceptionally well, with a sense of refinement and comfort that you’d really need a Rolls to beat (just as well, now that Rolls-Royce makes its own SUV).

Sport is, obviously, more sporting an responsive on-road, and just as capable as the big-boy (and the Discovery) off it. Both cars can venture further, much, much further, into muck, grime, and ordure than any owner will dare to replicate, and it’s that massive engineering redundancy that forms so much of their appeal.

Both cars got updated interiors for 2018, and the arrival of much-needed plugin hybrid models, as Land Rover starts trying to wean itself off diesel at last. Both have levels of luxury to see off the best from Mercedes, BMW, and Audi, but there are lingering reliability question marks, especially in the long term.
