2003 Land Rover Range Rover Review
BMW engineering with Land Rover capability and charisma.
2003 Range Rover Review Summary & Specifications
Land Rover's all-new Range Rover moves the bar for style, prestige, luxury, and capability. Boasting an all-new monocoque body with integrated chassis, all-independent suspension, five-speed automatic transmission along with Land Rover's legendary four-wheel drive, the 2003 Range Rover will take you anywhere, from the Sahara to the South Pole.The 2003 Range Rover offers style and pedigree, something the Lexus LX 470 does not have. It offers off-road capability and cargo space that BMW X5 drivers can only dream about. And it'll drive circles around the Mercedes G500 on the open road. In short, the new Range Rover lives up to its reputation as the standard to which other SUVs aspire. It is a pleasure to drive and it's easy on the eyes. For many, it truly is the SUV heavyweight world champion.
