The legendary British Range Rover SUV still can’t be topped for snob appeal, and few—if any—can match its luxury and impressive off-road abilities.
The large, beautifully crafted Range Rover is priced at $79,425 to $94,820 and shares its V-8 with Jaguar One engine is a 5-liter V-8 with 375 horsepower. The other is a supercharged version of that engine with a whopping 510 horsepower.
Both engines work with a responsive, smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission, with manual shifting mode.
I tested the 2012 Range Rover with the 375-horsepower V-8, which is rated at 12 miles per gallon in the city and 18 on highways. But the range is decent because a driver should be able to get 20 miles per gallon during steady highway driving, and the fuel tank capacity is 27.6 gallons.
