the dynamic sports tourer
explore the next genertation..it is
describing a given vehicle. Here are two that tend to be both overused and
misused perhaps more than any other: legendary and iconic.forgive us for
regaling you with these descriptors yet again, but when it comes to the 2013
Land Rover Range Rover, there simply aren't any words in the English language
that can be applied to this sport utility vehicle that are as accurate and
forceful as legendary and iconic. And what's especially impressive about our
use of these adjectives is that they apply equally well when discussing the
Range Rover's off-road capabilities as they do its position as a status
symbol.this marketplace position, however laudable and desirable it may be,
presents a unique problem: How do you redesign a legendary SUV to be better,
faster and stronger while maintaining its posh image? The boffins at Land Rover
think they've nailed the art of the redesign, and we spent a week with the 2013
Range Rover to find out for ourselves if you really can mess with success and
come out the victor
\ .
The fourth generation Range Rover is the best at what it does. To begin a
review article by announcing that something is the “best” is pretty ballsy even
for my standards. So let me qualify that a bit. If your definition of a
fantastic high-end sport utility vehicle is one that includes both superlative
on and off-road driving, then we are on the same page because that is what I am
talking about. There are a lot of sport utility vehicles in the luxury arena
that I think are fantastic. Audi, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche all make
pretty sweet rides, but they are designed more like lifted cars than softened
trucks. True sport utility vehicles are first and foremost all-terrain cruisers
meant to travel where roads don’t go. Most of today’s higher-priced SUVs will
roll with grace along highways but cough uncomfortably when asked to tread
across mud and rocks. Land Rover’s whole philosophy is to be good at both.
