Most owners will hardly ever use the astounding off-road ability that the 2015 Range Rover possesses. But that’s not the point – it’s nice to know that you could if you needed to. As a car that can deliver journeys in comfort and luxury, though, the Range Rover is also almost unparalleled. A Mercedes S-Class might be a touch smoother, but then it can’t ford a river. The only downside to this imposing slice of automotive luxury is that it costs rather a lot – both in terms of everyday costs such as fuel and road tax, and in terms of maintenance costs.

Strengths:

Goes anywhere in style and luxury
Huge interior of long-wheelbase model
Very able off-road

Weaknesses:

Seriously expensive to buy and run
Its sheer size can be intimidating
Reliability worries could keep you awake at night
