2015 | Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography SDV8

To steal a slogan from one of our favourite supermarkets, and where a lot of these are found - "this isn't just any Range Rover-this is the 2015 Range Rover Vogue Autobiography LWB!!" (Thank you, M&S...).

Range Rover had become known for being luxurious through the late 1990s and early 2000s with its P38 and the refined luxury of the L322, a slight step away from the utility they had prioritised through their earlier years. By 2015, these feel more like a Rolls-Royce. Built on the advanced L405 platform, the car drives like you're coasting over soft clouds, so smooth, soft and quiet. But the relaxed nature and comfortable environment is contrasted with what is under the bonnet; a 5-litre supercharged V8, delivering a 525hp. She's got ample torque and acceleration, making it equally adept at effortless highway cruising and commanding presence in urban environments.

For the money, it's a heck of a lot of car!!

She boasts just 19,900 miles, and an entirely refreshed engine installed only 1,000 miles ago by Battersea Land Rover, so a brand new power unit. Step inside and you'll find a beautifully appointed interior where heated and massaging seats welcome you, and a heated steering wheel warms your hands on those brisk mornings. The audio system is so good it feels as though you're sitting in the midst of an orchestra-or even in a booth with Dr Dre-while dual rear televisions ensure that every journey is as entertaining for passengers as it is engaging for the driver.

The lower half of the car is wrapped in a striking finish, giving it a cool, distinctive look. Though it's built to handle the toughest of off-road conditions, and is capable to do it, simply living inside it is very Rolls-Royce...
