Love them or hate them, the 0.01 per cent lead their lives hiding behind tinted luxury vehicles and Prada sunglasses, similar to an episode of HBO's Succession. While on most days, commoners like us are reduced to being both real and reel spectators, there comes a rare window that offers a slice of the pie inside the ivory tower.
Ours was the Range Rover SV experience, which took us from BKC, Mumbai to Oleander Farms in Karjat, in a way that even Logan Roy would be proud of. Unlike most of my Sundays, this one began a couple of hours too early, made worse by an annoying hangover and Mumbai's sauna-like summer in May. If this is how the uber-rich start their day, no wonder the Roys have a permanent scowl on their faces, I reckoned.
Soon, though, the grumpiness was washed away when the Range Rover SV drove in to pick us up. Without any exaggeration, the SV looks like it's made out of a single piece of marble. The design is, of course, borrowed from the flagship Range Rover. It might be understated, but it is also neat and cleancut with sleek elements sprinkled across its bodywork. Despite being a behemoth, the luxury SUV doesn't intimidate you like the Germans or the Italians but rather impresses you. It isn't exactly flashy; it's opulent, reminding you of the difference between old money versus new.
