Context
Why does this story matter?
Land Rover debuted the Range Rover in 1969 and since then, the British carmaker has spawned five generations of the SUV, slowly moving the image of the four-wheeler from a utilitarian off-roader to a luxury vehicle. The 2022 iteration features two plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains as a move toward sustainable mobility. It competes with the Mercedes-Maybach GLS and Bentley Bentayga on our shores.
