Every gearhead and their pet can tell you that it was the original Range Rover that pretty much started the whole premium crossover/SUV craze. The first one came out in 1969 with a three-door body style, and a five-door was added in 1981.
A true body-on-frame off-roader that shared its construction with the era's Land Rover Discovery, the first-gen Range Rover was made at the same time as its successor for two years, until 1996. The second-gen came out in 1994 and was only offered as a five-door, and the third-gen stuck around from 2002 until 2012. The fourth-gen was built from 2012 to 2021, and the fifth- and latest-gen Range Rover is only one year old.
Looking like an evolution of its predecessor, it has traded its rugged appearance for a posh one. Make no mistake, it's still potent off the beaten path, but not many owners are willing to sacrifice that expensive paint for a quick drive through the woods. Sharing its construction with the latest Range Rover Sport, the new Range Rover is offered with two wheelbase lengths, powered by a multitude of engines, including gasoline, diesel, and partially electrified assemblies.
The one pictured above is in the P530 configuration, aka the punchiest available, which uses a BMW-sourced twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8. Modified in-house by Land Rover, the engine produces 530 ps (523 hp/390 kW), hence the codename, and it is good for 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. Since it's more focused on comfort than sporty driving, this version of the new Range Rover won't make you dizzy under heavy acceleration. But that doesn't mean that it's slow, either. It will hit 100 kph (62 mph) in less than five seconds and keep going up to 250 kph (155 mph).
In addition to the firepower, which doesn't seem to have been tampered with, this one features a chrome-delete package and smoked exterior lighting units. Nano-ceramic window tint, including on the front windscreen, is also mentioned by Roadshow International in the social media post embedded below. The premium high-rider sits 15 mm (0.6 in) closer to the road than the stock one and comes with a set of large wheels that are too big if you ask us. The multi-spoke alloys measure 26 inches in diameter and have a silver finish, contrasting the all-black exterior of the car.
If we were the owners, we'd give it a pair of smaller wheels for increased comfort with a black finish and not much else because it looks great. But you can do just that, assuming you're in the market for a slightly modified Range Rover, as it is for sale. The asking price wasn't revealed, but you can find out how much it costs by reaching out to Roadshow International.
