![]() I think the new Land Rover Range Rover looks like a concept car that should’ve never gone into production (especially in the rear), but if I had to buy one, I’d go for the standard wheelbase, not the new seven-seat model. Connor Hoffman's $131,350 Standard Wheelbase P530 All in, I'm looking at a steep $158,250 for this beauty, which is why this will remain a fantasy. Inside, I'd swap the standard black leather upholstery out for the rich saddle-colored Caraway theme and I'd go with the SV Bespoke walnut wood trim. I also really like the SV Bespoke 22-inch wheel option for $900. ![]() I'd resist the urge to try out one of the new satin paint finishes and stick with a standard metallic the one that I like the best is Belgravia Green. The Autobiography loads up the Range Rover with goodies including handsome 22-inch wheels, massaging front seats, rear captain's chairs, an air purification system, a 35-speaker Meridian stereo system, a rear-seat entertainment system, and all the best driver-assistance tech. This combination automatically adds the more powerful twin-turbo V-8 engine, and the extra space inside should make it even easier for rear seat passengers to ride in comfort. I’d probably be happy with just about any spec, but in this fantasy I went for the long-wheelbase model and the Autobiography trim. I think the redesigned Range Rover looks good. Drew Dorian's $158,250 Long Wheelbase Autobiography P530 Otherwise, I left the options list alone, since the Autobiography model is already decked out to the nines. Inside I went for Deep Garnet, which surprisingly did not boost the price, but I did spend $1300 on the Natural Black Birch veneer, aiming to match the black exterior details while avoiding the fingerprint-attracting gloss black finish. To match the blacked-out trim, I upgraded to 23-inch gloss black wheels, an additional $1500. I went for a subtle exterior look, with gloss Constellation Blue paint-a $4550 option-and the Shadow Exterior pack for an extra $1000 to channel my inner James Bond villain. Selecting the Autobiography locks in the V-8 engine, which I would’ve opted for anyway. To that end, I chose a standard wheelbase model in the Autobiography trim, which starts at $152,000 and adds goodies such as 24-way heated and cooled front seats with massage, a heads-up display, SiriusXM satellite radio, a refrigerator compartment in the front console, and an upgraded sound system. While I’m all in favor of frugality when buying an economy car, I believe in splurging when it comes to a high-end SUV like the new Range Rover.
