This 2016 Range Rover is an incredible luxury off-roader

This week’s dream car is a top-shelf model.

IF I HAD the money I’d buy…

A luxury SUV that offers comfort, style and a thrilling driving experience with plenty of onboard tech too. I’d buy an imposing vehicle with great road presence, handsome looks and impressive off-road credentials. I’d by a Range Rover.

Why a Range Rover?

Range Rovers are for discerning drivers who demand the utmost from their cars. They can do everything and go everywhere and are the pinnacle of refined capability. Get behind the wheel of a Range Rover and it feels like you are sat in your favourite armchair. Your very, very expensive favourite armchair.

The Rangie demolishes motorway kilometres effortlessly and can get you off-road, off the beaten track with little fuss thanks to its impressive list of driver aids, safety features and high-tech gadgets.
