If you want to give yourself a real presence on the road, one of the best ways to do this is to get your hands on a Range Rover extended-wheelbase SV.
However, there’s a problem - the new Range Rover comes with a pretty hefty price tag of around £200,000! So if it’s too steep for you, would you be better off going for a 2004 Range Rover Autobiography, that cost just £2,000?
Well, it’s time to find out! So let’s take a look at what you get with each car.
Starting with the new Range Rover, it looks super sleek from the outside. It comes with a chrome effect on the grille, huge 23-inch alloy wheels, and a few smart features such as pop-out door handles! Step inside and it just exudes luxury, with the entire cabin covered in leather and a huge infotainment screen and digital dial system. This edition also comes with the executive class dual rear seats, which recline and are super comfortable!
When it comes to engine choices, the one we have here is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can deliver 530hp. However, there are also two plug-in hybrid editions available.
In terms of the old Range Rover, it's clearly related to the newer car, although it has a much more boxy design. It’s clearly been well used, with a couple of bumps and spots of rust, but it still looks pretty smart. The interior has also held up relatively well, although the leather on the steering wheel doesn’t look the best, and some of the mod-cons no longer work - but it’s still not bad for a car with over 170,000 miles on the clock!
Naturally, it’s also down on power, with its 4.4-litre naturally-aspirated V8 delivering 286hp.
So what do you think - will the car that is 100x the price of the classic Range Rover win it? Or will the old edition prove to be better value for money? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
