Luxury and Power Under the Hood, that’s Range Rover Vogue Mark 3

Land Rover Range Rover was introduced in 1970 with an unthinkable dream and a visionary idea. 4WD vehicles were built and used for farmlands and tough environments such as battlefields and UN missions. However, a simple thought of providing their normal farmland machine some makeover and a carpet single-handedly created a brand-new class of vehicles.  The idea was to provide a bit of luxury so the vehicle can be used to go anywhere without a problem. The basic vehicle with some cosmetic differences lasted until 2001 and then gave way to one of the most revolutionary vehicles ever produced by Range Rover to date.

Revolutionary Changes that Made Range Rover a True Luxury 4WD

Designers and engineers were given a clean sheet and free hand to create a luxury 4WD that would serve the customers both on and off-road. Engineers made decisions that made a lasting impact on this vehicle’s legacy. The ladder frame chassis was replaced with a monocoque construction for the first time. This was unheard of for 4WD vehicles and immediately brought stability and grip to the ride quality of the vehicle. for the first time, four-wheel independent air suspension came standard with this vehicle. this helped the vehicle gain comfortable ride quality and cornering ability like no other. Later on, Land Rover introduced the Terrain Response system that made choosing the way Range Rover responds a breeze. Range Rover never stopped evolving and kept incorporating new technology such as adaptive cruise control, Reverse cameras, adaptive headlights, and lane assist system. Range Rover MK3 kept in production from 2002 to 2013 and cemented the brand as one of the elites and upmarket luxury 4WD vehicles in the market.

Futuristic Exterior

Huge changes were given a green light, the exterior was no exception. Range Rover was completely redesigned from the ground up. Even though the whole vehicle was restyled, the designers did a stellar job of keeping the real essence of Range Rover. The unmistakable floating roof, clamshell bonnet, and split opening tailgate were the trademark signs that you are looking at the Range Rover.

The new Range Rover was beefed up with aluminum construction, futuristic headlights, contemporary tail lights, and a side profile that shows it’s a Range Rover through and through.

Luxury Interior

The interior is the field where Range Rover excels and earns its stripes as a luxury 4WD vehicle. Such is the quality and comfort provided by the Range Rover that it could easily rival some of the prestigious luxury vehicles.

The cabin is spacious and incredibly soundproofed so there is no road noise even at higher speeds. Steering and dashboard are illuminated with so many gadget controls and front dials provide so much information about what is going on in the vehicle. There is hardly any body roll as the independent suspension works its magic on twists and turns as well as straight roads and difficult terrains. Luggage space or leg or headroom was never going to be a concern in such a spacious vehicle. The split tailgate remains hugely utilitarian as ever and you are pampered with leather upholstery and expensive materials surrounding you from all sides.

Refined and Powerful Engine Lineup

Over the years, Range Rover took advantage of the different ownerships and used engines from their associated owners. It started its journey with a BMW-produced 4.4-Liter petrol engine that was capable of producing 282 bhp and 440 Nm of torque. An updated supercharged 4.2-Liter version produced by Jaguar was introduced that produced 395bhp at 5750 rpm and 560 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm.

In 2009, a more powerful 5.0-Liter V8 was introduced that churned out 370 hp at 6500 rpm and 510 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm. Finally, Range Rover MK3 was given a parting gift as a 5.0-Liter supercharged V8 was introduced that provided excellent performance figures. It produced 503 hp at 6000 rpm and 625 Nm of torque at 2500 rpm.

There was a range of diesel engines available as well. It started with a 3.0-Liter BMW-produced Td6 turbodiesel engine that produced 175 hp at 4000 rpm and 390 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm. Later on, in 2006, a 3.6-Liter twin turbo V8 produced by Jaguar replaced the previous engine. it was capable of producing 268 hp at 4000 rpm and 640 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm.
