With the Range Rover’s drive-train in snow mode the Brit seemed almost unstoppable even with fat non-winter tires.
And you got to love any car that has not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but 5 on board cameras giving you a 360 degree view of the surrounding road and traffic as you head down the road.
We’re sure that this is a pretty useful off-road feature perhaps used to provide up close and personal views of potentially deadly drop-offs, but it’s also a lot of fun just driving to the grocery store.
As of yet we have not been able to figure out how to get to the combined MPG readout to get an “as tested” mileage number for our week with the Range Rover.
Could it be that Land Rover makes this menu item a bit hard to find as the official MPG EPA numbers for the 2.5 ton Range Rover Sport are 12 city and 17 highway? Looks like we’ll have to actually open the owner’s manual.
