2004 Range Rover Review Summary & Specifications
The 2004 Range Rover raises the bar for style, prestige, luxury, and capability in a high-dollar SUV. Boasting a monocoque body with integrated chassis, all-independent suspension and five-speed automatic transmission along with Land Rover's legendary four-wheel drive, the Range Rover will take you anywhere, from the Sahara to the South Pole.The 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 run circles around the Mercedes-Benz G500 on a paved road. In short, this latest 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 champion of the world.
