HISTORY OF INNOVATIONS
Over the last 45 years Range Rover has delivered a series of industry firsts as it has evolved into the peerless luxury vehicle we know today
FIRST EVER LUXURY SUV
The original Range Rover was the first 4x4 designed to be as good on-road as it was off-road. It took 4x4s out of the mud and onto the motorway.
FIRST ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL
Range Rover was the world’s first 4x4 to be fitted with Electronic Traction Control.
FIRST PREMIUM DIESEL SUV HYBRID
With outstanding fuel economy and 26% lower C02 emissions than the TDV6 diesel engine, the Range Rover Hybrid became the world’s first diesel SUV hybrid in its class.
FIRST ALL-ALUMINIUM SUV
The Fourth Generation Range Rover is the world’s first all-aluminium SUV.
Range Rover was the first luxury SUV in the world in 1970 and 45 years on it continues to lead the way. The latest model is the most desirable and sophisticated Land Rover ever, mixing peerless comfort with cutting edge technology to provide the ultimate luxury vehicle experience.
