United Kingdom 2014 Range Rover Vogue TDV6 Aintree Green

Same interior as a current RR with the Executive rear seat spec; and “All of that extra length has gone into providing more kneeroom”. So: a lot to pay for a bit of extra air. I think I’ll struggle by with the tiny cramped seating in the rear of the current model… Whistle

As the review concludes, one for chauffeurs only surely? Norman

It's a shame they haven't increased the length of the front doors. It is surprisingly tight to get in as a passenger if 6'2" or more. 2015 RR SDV8 Vogue SE

At least it hasnt got those awful fake grills on the bonnet like on the sport.

Am I the only person that prefers the old dash to the new one?

Now if only it had a peerless media display, head up display, 0-60 in 5.4s and 40% the price I would have bought one!

Does anyone know whether the LWB might eventually spawn a seven seater version or would this encroach too much on the Discovery?

Not for me, I believe the 405 will go the way of the P38 from a purists perspective, so little discrimination amongst models now, or maybe I am an old stick in the mud Thumbs Up

I would say definitely not. Sport and Discovery now cater for that market.

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Bonatti Grey

Deffo not due to the Sport & Disco offerings as said above. TBH it would make some sense as the sports 6&7seats are pretty useless to all but anyone under 4'

TBH i cant see many being specced with the rear screens either as they just take away from the rear space and are not much use when everyone has an Tablet device of good mobile these days.

Good for kids that grow up quite quick though but i'll bet on the second hand market they will hold their value more than the normal ones as more chauffeurs buy them as they get older, would make great wedding cars too Smile FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
