Range Rover

The vehicle that arguably kicked off the luxury SUV craze of recent decades, the classic Range Rover, has developed somewhat of a cult following thanks to its comfort, off-road capability, and quintessential British design. Its desirability has risen in modern-classic circles to the point where good examples are fetching as much as $50,000 – with many Australian-delivered vehicles now being sent back to the UK, due to a lack of rust-inducing salted roads here.

Few Land Rovers and Range Rovers ever truly get off the beaten track, but the company is about to pull the handbrake on their ability to venture into remote areas. Land Rover has announced it will introduce the first of six pure electric vehicles from 2024 – phasing out diesel engines from 2026 – and axing petrol and diesel power altogether by 2036.
