2011 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged Review

Although it started out as a three-door utilitarian style off-roader, complete with vinyl seats and a hoseable interior, the Range Rover became a de facto premium vehicle in North America (and other markets) due to its premium price and its status as an imported vehicle. Over the decades since its release in 1970, the Range Rover has moved steadily upmarket, surpassing the Land Rover LR4 (nee Discovery), Defender (no longer sold in North America) and the LR2 as the king of the British SUV heap.

1. Starting at $78,835; 510-hp Supercharged models jump to $94,615 plus options.

2. For improved ride comfort and handling there’s an active damping Dynamic Vehicle Control system.

3. A Terrain Response system includes five modes: grass, gravel, snow, mud /ruts, sand and rock crawling, as well as a default tarmac setting.

4. If you want the luxury and the brand image but could do without the size, cost and fuel bills, the compact Range Rover Evoque will deliver all that for just $45,000.

And so we have the vehicle known as the Range Rover Supercharged, a monument to ostentatious motoring that stands out as a profligate urban tank favored by wealthy housewives, rappers and professional athletes, as well as plutocrats throughout the world. Is the Range Rover Supercharged a totally irrelevant vehicle in this day and age? Without a doubt, yes.

CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION AT ITS FINEST

Fortunately, the sheer excess of the Range Rover is part of what makes it such an awesome vehicle. From its aggressive front grille resembling an electric shaver to the slab-sided styling and 20-inch wheels, everything about the Range Rover says “I’m rich; you’re not, so get out of my way, plebian motorist.”

If the peasantry elects to throw rotten produce at you as you collect tribute from your serfs (or in this case, tenants, since only a slum lord can afford this vehicle), you will be ensconced in a cabin that could be described best as “opulent”. Our tester had a lovely chocolate brown interior, with the butter-soft leather accented by white piping and dark wood trim. The driving position is high (the better to lord over the masses), and the front seats come with a pair of armrests that were lifted from the First Class section of a Middle Eastern airliner.

Interior controls can be operated via well laid-out buttons on the center stack or through a touch-screen mounted above the stack. Unlike a number of touch screens, we found this one easy and intuitive to use, a welcome addition from the centrally mounted knob that other luxury brands require in order to navigate the vehicle’s various functions.

1997 Land Rover Discovery, snorkle, rack, ARB, winch, skid plate ...

Aftermarket Front Skid Plate

Large file of service records from new.

I have many extra parts including, 3 steel wheels, front seats, door panels, rear panels to use if not using jump seats, new brake rotors, fuel filter, thermostat, seals, bulbs, headlamp assy, etc.

The only issues I know of are that the rear sunroof doesn't work, and the brake warning light stays on even though I can find no fault in the system. Passes NC Emissions Inspection without problems. Runs good but I only drive it about 1000 or less miles per year so I am going to sell and just use my Powerwagon. Between Insurance, Tags, and NC Inspections each year, I can't justify keeping it any longer when it's not being used.

I'll add more photos tommorow and update the ad.............Asking $5000 or best offer, will take $4500 without the winch.
