First Drive King of SUV Range Rover Vogue TDV6 3.0 Review

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the all-new Range Rover. And you probably knew that already: because this one comes with a stylishly detailed face (check out those headlamps and grill combo), minimalist rear (the tail-lamps that look like the number ‘7’ is oh-so-avant-garde) and matching large 20-inch wheels are the perfect shoes.

Let’s also not forget how, when viewed from the side, the Range Rover here looks properly proportionate; the front and rear overhangs were stretched closer towards the end of the car to allow more space for the cabin.

Apart from that, here is the most important fact of the Range Rover Vogue: this is the turbo-diesel variant. Yes, you read that right: diesel. Thing is, diesels were not usually targeted towards consumers in the high-end class – after all, these group of buyers (in local context especially) appreciate refinement above anything else. And diesels were never known to be, well, refined.

But Jaguar Land Rover obviously wanted to prove otherwise. The same diesel lump being offered in the Jaguar XJ diesel, yours truly was promised class-leading refinement and driving comfort with this diesel powered Range Rover TDV6.

Under the bonnet lies a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel that is paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, allowing a power output of 258bhp and – this is the best part – a maximum torque of 600Nm available from as low as 2,000rpm. Sounds like a whole lot of fun, and perfect for outrunning pesky hatchbacks and sports cars.
