Range Rover SE gets top marks

As Range Rover enters Grasso’s Garage again this year, it’s time to review its flagship, the Range Rover SE. It definitely earns top marks for appearance and style.

Our tester, a Long Wheel Base (LWB) seven-passenger model, comes in with a base price of $113,000. With all of the luxurious features Range Rover can pack into an SUV, the SE holds nothing back. Its exquisite exterior curves are a match for no other. Standard for the SE LWB was 21-inch alloy wheels with electronic air suspension and all-wheel drive with terrain response, hill launch and low traction launch. Powered by an ultra-smooth 3.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged six-cylinder engine, the Range Rover SE produces 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Matched with the eight-speed automatic transmission, the SE had great power while still maintaining a very quiet powertrain. A super plush interior would be nothing but expected on the SE model, as its leather and cushioned seating were fit for a king and queen.

As the British manufacturer has gained popularity with its excellently designed exteriors, in most recent years the brand has come under fire with mechanical issues plaguing the brand across the footprint. As Rover's production is in the UK, getting parts and answers quickly to remedy problems has always been a concern for U.S. consumers. With a heightened warranty package and vehicles in the shop for longer than expected timeframes, the brand has gone back to basics and made things easier for mechanics and consumers to work on them. With this recent improvement, we hope to see more Range Rovers, Land Rovers and Jaguars back in Grasso’s Garage as their designs are simply flawless and their interiors are second to none.
