RANGE ROVER AUTOBIOGRAPHY
PRICE:
R2 900 000
Arguably the definitive luxury SUV. Frequently imitated, but rarely bettered or even equalled, the Range Rover has been around since 1970. Over fifty years now, and it’s still only in its fourth generation. Admittedly the fact the first-gen (later known as the ‘Classic’) lasted for more than two decades skews that figure a bit. The current car was launched in 2012 and is due for replacement at the end of 2021. It debuted a new aluminium monocoque that cost the company a rumoured billion quid to develop. So even though it’s bigger than the car it replaced, it’s substantially lighter – which means faster, more efficient and tangibly better to drive. And with the 2018 facelift came even more efficiency, thanks to the introduction of the P400e plug-in hybrid, which pairs a 296bhp, four-cylinder petrol engine with a 114bhp electric motor for 64g/km of CO2, a claimed 101mpg and 31 miles of all-electric range.p>
