This model is tremendously stable in strong winds and is equipped with an innovative interior that includes Land Rover’s Ingenious infotainment system and 1,137 litres of space. It’s no wonder the iconic British automakers describe it as both “our most versatile SUV yet” and the “ultimate family SUV”.
