Range Rover Mark 4’s Go Anywhere Ability Makes it One of the Best Choices

Range Rover started its journey from humble beginnings but progressed into one of the world’s most desired and sought-after vehicles. Land Rover kept refining its aesthetics and structure and took its appeal and ride characteristics to a new level. Today, Range Rover stands in a league of its own.

Range Rover Vogue MK 4 was introduced in 2012 and changed the dynamics of Range Rover for the better. It announced the intentions of Land Rover to elevate its flagship vehicle that would compete with luxury giants such as Bentley and Rolls Royce.

The real triumph of engineering and design is that even though this vehicle is now capable of rivalling the comfort of elite and prestige brands in automotive, it has lost none of its legendary off-road ability. Another outstanding accomplishment is that despite all the changes and major engineering advancements, it still looks, feels, and drives like a Range Rover. Thanks to its largely aluminium construction, it weighs half a ton lighter than its predecessor.

It provides enough room for 5 adults and their cargo with lots of head and leg room availability. There is a range of gadgets available with various driver assistance.

Handling and Ride Comfort

Range Rover Vogue MK 4 is truly the generation where the luxury, comfort, refinement, craftsmanship and performance went into a new gear. The whole vehicle was designed from the ground up. Aluminium was used for the suspension structure, making it lighter, the improved adaptive suspension was added and dynamic handling options were introduced to tackle various surfaces.

All those changes helped immensely to produce a ride that has no body roll, no road noise, plenty of road grip, bearable fuel economy, and plenty of acceleration and cornering ability that replicates a sports car.
