The Range Rover may be the ultimate in style, prestige, luxury, and off-road capability in a sport utility. Upgrades for 2006 keep it in contention for best in class. The Range Rover offers European style and pedigree, something neither the Lexus LX 470 nor the Infiniti QX56 has. It offers off-road capability and cargo space that BMW X5 drivers can only dream about. And it'll run circles around the Mercedes-Benz G500 on a paved road while giving the G500 a run for its deutschmark on rustic, ungraded tracks. In short, the 2006 Range Rover maintains its reputation as the standard to which other SUVs aspire. It is a pleasure to drive and it's easy on the eyes. For many, it truly is the SUV champion of the world.New Car Test Drive correspondent Tom Lankard filed this report from Northern California.
