Quick Spin: 2014 Land Rover Range Rover L Autobiography
Gallery: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2014-...photo-2496494/ Engine: SC 5.0L V8 Power: 510 HP / 461 LB-FT Transmission: 8-Speed Auto 0-60 Time: 5.1 Seconds Top Speed: 140 MPH Drivetrain: All-Wheel Drive Curb Weight: 5,137 LBS Towing: 7,716 LBS Seating: 2+2 Cargo: 32.1 CU-FT MPG: 13 City / 19 HWY Base Price: $106,195 As-Tested Price: $146,000 (est.) When it comes to fullsize, ultra-luxurious SUVs, you can't do much better than a Range Rover. We've gushed over the biggest Land Rover several times, praising this latest generation's powerful engines, luxurious interiors, and ability to climb both mountainsides and social ladders all while looking fantastic. Capable as it may be, Land Rover's mission with the Range Rover is to also create an absolutely top-shelf luxury experience, something that's perhaps best illustrated here with the company's new long-wheelbase model. In previous generations, rear seat accommodations were always a sore spot, with compromised legroom and tricky ingress and egress. By stretching the wheelbase by nearly eight inches, this longer Rangie now offers an additional 7.3 inches of legroom. And with a new executive rear seating package that replaces the traditional bench for a proper two-plus-two arrangement, the back seats now feature an additional 17 degrees of recline. It all comes at a price – roughly $146,000 as-tested – but combined with the more luxurious rear seat accommodations, that hefty price tag actually seems like sort of a bargain. Think about it: Sure, you can get a stretched S-Class or 7 Series for slightly less coin, but the Range Rover is far more capacious, functional, and has all that off-road prowess, to boot. Don't think of this thing as just a stretched Range Rover. Think of it as the most luxurious fullsize SUV you can buy today – and maybe tomorrow, too. Driving Notes

•This powertrain still makes for a bloody quick Range Rover, especially considering its size and heft – the longer model adds some 287 pounds to the overall curb weight, tipping the scales at a healthy 5,137 pounds. That's a lot of weight, but it's still less than standard-wheelbase rivals (the Lexus LX 570 weighs a galling 6,000 pounds), and it remains a significant decrease from the outgoing model thanks to its new aluminum-intensive construction. And with that 5.0-liter supercharged heart pumping out the power, Land Rover estimates that its largest Range Rover will still sprint to 60 miles per hour in 5.1 seconds |

My client waited 4 months for her regular wheel base model to come in, and the vehicle was AMAZING, well worth the wait!
