![]() ![]() Move to the rear cabin and there’s adequate space, with decent head and shoulder room, but knee space could be tight if you’re tall. There’s a regular tailgate – not a Rangie-style split-folding job – but the strong flat floor does allow you to sit on the back, which somehow is a Rangie requisite. Is it practical? Well the boot is not quite as deep as you might expect for a family-sized SUV, but it’s long and wide enough to be usable. Prices start at AED246,000 ($67k) and go up to AED410,000 ($111k) for this range-topping R-Dynamic HSE with the beefy motors and in this case presented as a limited edition First Edition guise. ![]() You get a choice of two 2.0-litre Turbo 4-cylinder engines with either 250bhp or 300bhp.Īnd there’s a 3.0 V6 Supercharged motor putting out 380bhp providing a 0-100 acceleration time of 5.7 seconds, mated to an 8-speed ZF auto, obviously AWD and air suspension that adjusts to give you up to 251mm of ground clearance.

It’s all a bit incestuous and confusing, but not point fretting about it, as it’s the modern nature of the car industry.
