Under the hood, a V8 developed by GM with a displacement of 3.5 liters ensured adequate driving performance, over the years the displacement and performance increased. The Range Rover shaped the image of the luxurious lifestyle off-roader like no other off-road vehicle before and is sometimes one of the pioneers of SUVs.
