Goes anywhere a Wrangler goes and is far nicer inside. Thirsty, and not cheap to fix.
Check before you buy
Newer and more robust than the Range Rovers, but still a Land Rover: parts and specialist labour are dear.

- Audi Q8: A Q7 with the roof chopped for looks: same money, two fewer seats, less headroom.
- Lexus RX 450h+: Superb but expensive, and the plug-in version is genuinely hard to find used.
- BMW X6: An X5 with a sloped roof: the same money for less headroom and a smaller boot.
- Range Rover Sport: Faster and firmer than the full-size one, with all of the same running costs.
