The Range Rover was introduced in 1970 and was an instant hit. The simple design was resistant, practical and high-performance compared to previous models. The off-road paneled aluminum body quickly paved its way to becoming the leader in 4WD off-roading.<\/p>\n
Powered by the 3.5-litre V8 Rover light-alloy unit, the First Edition is commonly referred to as the “classic Range Rover” and shares the same engine unit as the Morgan +8. Although it was built with high performance off-road capabilities, this vehicle remained a luxury vehicle that truly created a whole new market for itself with luxury off-road SUVs. After 11 years in production, the car was launched with a 5-door option, with previous models only available with a 3-door.<\/p>\n
The car’s interior has been improved, with also notable changes to the bodywork and the introduction of a BMW 2.5-liter engine in the Mark II. The Mark II was introduced with a series of exclusive limited edition models, all to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Range Rover. Continued victorious off-road sales saw the luxury off-road vehicle exported to America, with previous models only available as gray imports. Sales and popularity of the car continued.<\/p>\n
The car’s exclusive and luxury image was enhanced with new off-road variations in 2003. The Range Rover Vogue was introduced as the top model in the range. The RR Sport saw the Range Rover’s appeal to the high-end market as the vehicle was road-based, although the Sport hasn’t lost its ancestral roots and can still handle off-road quite well. With the growth of the off-road SUV market, the car has achieved very fruitful sales and is still the market leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
