ABP Live Auto Awards 2022 – Luxury Car Of The Year: The list of features is endless with the Range Rover but when compared to other luxury cars, there are some features that again helped it score better.

Luxury Car Of The Year – Land Rover Range Rover

The luxury car of the year has to move the goalposts in terms of how luxury is perceived and how it has evolved to fit the modern-day world. The new generation Range Rover shows exactly that and becomes a paradigm shift in luxury motoring. Here is an SUV that eclipses other luxury cars in terms of the sheer comfort features while also understanding what luxury is all about. The new Range Rover has a minimalistic design that is not too over complicated with sleek surfaces and fewer lines on the side or at the rear. The classic Range Rover side profile remains but the design language removes clutter. Luxury in many ways should be simplified.

However, along with the design, it is the interior that impressed the judges. Here, you get a massive curved display touchscreen along with a centre console that is devoid of excessive buttons. These days, luxury cars have to have many functions which can be confusing while in the Range Rover it is much more simplified. The climate control knobs are tactile and are not buried beneath the touchscreen too.

The list of features is endless with the Range Rover but when compared to other luxury cars, there are some features that again helped it score better. The headrests for example have noise-cancelling speakers embedded in them which removes any noise from outside. There is also a 35-speaker Meridian audio system plus everything is controlled via touch including the rear seat entertainment to even the rear console or the cup holders too! Then India gets the long wheelbase version which brings in a vast amount of space and the ability to stretch out like you are in a private jet.

Sustainability is also important and the new Range Rover uses a blend of textile wool which makes the leather free along with giving an alternative to leather. The driving experience mirrors a luxury car and its ability to waft over difficult terrain where luxury sedans would normally falter. The car gets an array of mild hybrid powertrains but the refinement and the ease at which the Range Rover covers ground is what makes it a winner in this highly contested category. In short, the Range Rover is now a luxury car which you can take anywhere and won the 'Luxury car of the year award'.
