Has depreciation put this top-spec Rangie within Range?
Brave Pill, it was widely reckoned in the comments to be no more courageous than choosing a small green salad. Against which this week’s offering is closer to playing expiry date roulette with the stuff that’s been sitting too long at the back of the fridge. Yes, it’s that perennial friend of the risk-loving motorist, a leggy Range Rover, in this case a still fresh-looking L405 generation version that wears both a sizeable mileage and a price tag that is certain to set wallets a twichin’.
This new reality is reflected in falling values. While the soot-chucker was being offered for £24,000 - making it the cheapest SDV8 in the country at the time - this Pill is up for an even more reasonable £21,995. It’s also a plusher Autobiography - the diesel was a Vogue - and has the mightier and more charismatic 5.0-litre supercharged petrol V8 that always turned the L405 into the ultimate guilty pleasure.
The strategy worked impressively well. The existence of posh-roaders like the Bentley Bentayga and Aston Martin DBX is testament to the mega-SUV market this Range Rover proved was waiting to be tapped. But the Range Rover Sport’s sportier dynamic mission also meant the full-sized Rangie was free to focus on plushness and comfort, with ultra-pliant air springs and a driving experience that is only slightly less laid-back than being tucked up in bed.
Being an Autobiography, our Pill is laden with kit, including power-adjustable seats front and rear, separate entertainment screens for each back passenger and the bangin’ Meridian sound system. Which are all positives. Negatives are the fact it dates from when the UI for JLR’s infotainment system had barely emerged from the primordial ooze and the fact - talking of ooze - that the cabin is in serious need of a good clean, with an icky level of gunk on many of the interior surfaces.
