Vehicle Highlights
With a design dating back to the 1970s, this British-built luxury sport-utility vehicle came in two forms for '92: base Range Rover and the County. Both 4-door wagons came with a 178-horsepower, 3.9-liter V8 engine, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Permanently engaged 4-wheel drive was standard. Antilock brakes were standard on County models, but unavailable on base Range Rovers.

Consumer Guide® Road-Test Evaluation
A Range Rover is extremely capable and comfortable. It's also been considered the ultimate 4x4 in terms of luxury and snob appeal. Still, it's difficult to justify the still hefty prices, when so many competent competitors are on the market. Prices for 1996-up models, with more-modern styling, are far higher than those of earlier-vintage Range Rovers.
