We Indians love everything XXL sized. Be it our weddings, our potbellies, or even the vehicles we drive. How else would you explain the avalanche of SUVs that have been flooding our market for nearly a decade now?
Perhaps, this is what the bosses at Tata-owned JLR were thinking when they announced the details of the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover back in January. The vehicle is finally here. Priced at Rs 2.38 crore, Land Rover flagship is obviously targeted at the top end of the luxury SUV market, and it doesn't disappoint.
The first thing you notice about it is the sheer size. It is so big that I started wondering about the logistics involved in trying to fit the behemoth in the tiny showroom we visited. While the length of the vehicle at around five meters remains the same as the previous version, the wheelbase has been stretched to 2.997 m, and if you opt for an extended-wheelbase model, this size increases by a further 2 cm. The extra dimension seems to have gone into making the cabin bigger. And perhaps why the vehicle now features an additional row at the back, a 7-seater option in the longer shell body.
