The Appeal
The Range Rover Vogue is a name known by many if not all in car culture. Originating from Land Rover's proven formula, Range Rover followed the body on frame design to allow for very competent off-road abilities. The Vogue SE A variant is model also equally at home on the road, in part thanks to coil spring suspension compared to the Land Rover's leaf springs. The SE A model also offers more practicality over its predecessor with 5 doors as opposed to 3, the A stands for automatic, also a welcome addition for many looking to use theirs mainly on the roads. Whilst evolving through the decades and with newer models, Range Rover managed to retain the iconic body shape that many regard as the first truly luxurious 4x4. Finally, little needs to be said regarding the power unit, Rover's renowned 3.9L V8 gives for some 182 BHP, an ample amount meaning that you can certainly get a move on if needed.
