The Range Rover though has always had its priorities right - it takes direct aim at the exclusive elites among an already exclusive base of customers.

And then there are performance models like Lamborghini Urus which too sit at the ₹2 crore plus price bracket. The likes of Mercedes, Audi and BMW have stellar models at the top of their respective SUV lineups and tend to be the crowd pullers. The Tata-owned British brand has gone all out to ensure that its flagship SUV isn't just at the pinnacle of its own product pyramid but has what it takes to beat back its German rivals. But its performance on roads and off is for another day. The Range Rover is obviously claiming to be as capable on off-road tracks as ever and boasts of a water-wading depth of up to 900mm. And then there is the audacious 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers 522 hp and offers 750 Nm of torque.

There is also the 3.0-litre diesel motor that offers 346 hp and 700 Nm of torque. It puts out 394 hp and offers 550 Nm of torque. Under the hood are petrol and diesel engine options but the mild-hybrid (MHEV) 3.0-litre petrol motor is likely to be a hot favourite. There are five body colour options but the Sunset Gold Satin is exclusive to the First Edition. The Range Rover is offered in four variants - SE, HSE and Autobiography, with a First Edition available only in the first year of production and comes with a number of updates over the Autobiography model. The latest Ranger Rover is being offered with both the Standard Wheelbase as well as LWB versions and this goes to show just how much priority has been attached to cabin comfort. But do note here that some of the highlights mentioned above are optional extras. Overall, the Range Rover has a cabin that defines how well opulence and comfort can be incorporated in a simplistically luxurious form factor. This is something to do with white noise but we obviously couldn't test this owing to the largely silent setting inside the showroom where this vehicle was parked. There are eight speakers of these - two on each of the four headrests - that act as noise cancellation systems to further minimize surrounding sounds from outside the vehicle. The 35 speakers inside obviously bring alive anything you would choose to play through these but interestingly, not all of these are active. But my personal favourite is the sound system that has a total output of 1600 watts. There is also a cabin air-purification system that brings down pollutant levels in a matter of seconds. But unlike the tablets in some other luxury models, this one cannot be detached. Whether it is the ambient lighting or the massive panoramic sunroof, the window blinds or massage functions, the customizable heating and cooling or the two 11.4-inch HD entertainment screens behind the front seat headrests - everything can be controlled using a tablet screen on the foldaway central armrest here. The rear-seat passengers are unlikely to ever appreciate another vehicle because of the sheer indulgences at their disposal here. The materials used all around the car are the best that a vehicle can get at present with the seats deserving a special mention owing to just the right amount of cushioning. You don't expect a flagship costing over ₹2.40 crore to cut corners in the fit and finish, and the Range Rover obviously doesn't.

This is true for the driver display as well - large, bright and well-equipped to put out all relevant information from just behind the gorgeously old-school yet modern steering wheel. It also puts out drive-related information which can be quite essential if taking the vehicle to the wilderness.

It houses all the controls for AV and can also be the command centre from where to control the various creature comfort functionalities anywhere in the vehicle. The 13.1-inch main screen, powered by Pivi Pro, perfectly suits the stature of the vehicle.
