INSIDE This time we are behind the wheel of the iconic SUV, the Range Rover, and then some upcoming rides and drives for urban mobility from the BMW's hat and much more

THE CAR THAT PUTS THE SPORT IN SPORTS Utility Vehicle, the one that defines the body style, can go anywhere, and yet set luxury standards like no other. The flagship of the Land rover brand, and one of the most aspirational vehicles on the planet - that is the Range Rover - a car with a legendary heritage and immense capability. It has always set benchmarks others can only follow. So with the new generation does it once again do the same? I am in Northern California with the all-new 2022 Range Rover, to find out.

Now an icon is always difficult to reimagine or replace. And very tough to improve on. Tough, but not impossible. In just over half a century we have had four generations of the mighty Range Rover. A car that stands for many things - chief amongst them being capability and off late, luxury. Now it is time to make way for the new fifth generation Rangey. And I am in California to drive it. A staggering number of Range Rover buyers live and drive in this part of the world, and which is why we are in wine country, just north of San Francisco - the playground of the rich and not necessarily famous. And so in keeping with that lifestyle, we have been ferried to the private plane terminal at SFO in the new Range Rover, and are taking a charter plane to Napa!
