History

The Range Rover is a luxury 4x4 SUV, produced from 1970 to 1996. Unlike the Land Rover, that was built primarily for off-road use, the Range Rover, was designed more as a passenger car that could be used off-road. And so, the aesthetic side of it gained more weight: the spare tire on the wood and the mesh on the front were no longer present.

The “up market” model had been planned since the 1950s, and it was initially named “Road Rover”. However, the final product would take almost two decades to be completed and the Range Rover was only announced in 17th July of 1970. The off and on-road vehicle was an instant hit.
