Driven: Range Rover


Apologies for the lack of a blog on Thursday. I was halfway up a Moroccan mountain in the all-new Range Rover and internet access was hard to come by. It’s rare that cars costing £70k+ walk off with the European Car of the Year title, but I’d be surprised if this doesn’t make the shortlist. It’s hugely impressive in almost every way, from the Bentley levels of fit and finish in the cabin, to the quiet and refined way it deals with high-speed motorway cruising, to the outstanding resilience of the 4x4 system. This latter element came to the fore as we headed to 2,500 metres above sea level in the Atlas Mountains, much of it on rocky tracks that don’t see much traffic beyond donkeys moving goods from village to village. One of the most memorable drives of my life.
