Land Rover was originally conceived in 1948 and the first Range Rover arrived in1970.The gulf region was one of our first export markets,not just in the region,but the whole world.It played a pivotal role in several areas in the development of nations here,from setting up institutions and infrastructure to government and military uses.Gradually,there was a very strong demand for luxury and off-road capabilities in vehicles and Land Rover delivered to its customers.We have taken everything we know about luxury in the cabin,on-road and off-road capabilities,and that has resulted in this,the new fourth generation Range Rover.

In addition to the strong and rigid lightweight body,new aluminium front and rear chassis architecture has been developed with completely re-engineered four-corner air suspension.While the luxurious ride has been retained,the vehicle's handling and agility have been significantly improved.The new suspension architecture delivers flatter,more confident cornering,with a natural and intuitive steering feel.The Range Rovers are also almost entirely customisable,so customers can create bespoke interiors suited to their need.
