Range Rover Named Top Gear’s Luxury Car of the Year

Top Gear magazine, the BBC's automotive news publication, gives accolades to the best vehicles by class, and the Land Rover Range Rover was recently named the publication's Luxury Car of the Year. The car was chosen by a panel of the magazine's writers as well as the hosts of the popular show that goes hand-in-hand with the publication. The judges were impressed not only by the fourth generation Range Rover's sleek exterior design, but its comprehensive list of interior features swayed their decision further. Luxurious amenities like four-zone climate control, built-in chair massagers and mobile device connectivity set the Range Rover apart from similar models in its class.

"Rather than playing it safe and developing, the new Range Rover is an example of boundaries redefined, manufacturing technologies pushed, luxury taken to the next level," said Charlie Turner, editor-in-chief for Top Gear. "…From the daily slog to work to a cocooned blast across Europe, the Range Rover really can cope with anything. The ultimate car."

In addition to the fancy interior features that set the bar high for luxury vehicles, the Range Rover also boasts numerous safety devices and technologies that can reduce the risk of crashes and other issues. Adaptive cruise control, intelligent emergency braking and brake assist, blind spot warnings, and park assist are just a few options that drivers gain with this vehicle. Reverse Traffic Detection helps to keep motorists safe when they are backing up, which is ideal for navigating driveways and parking lots.

The Range Rover has been available for a few years, which means even drivers who want to buy used vehicles may be able to get behind the wheel of an older model of this luxurious vehicle. Car shoppers who are interested in finding a luxury ride like the Range Rover can head to New Jersey State Auto Auction, which has a wide selection of luxury vehicles to choose from.
