The 2017 Range Rover Vogue 3.0L Supercharged Petrol is widely regarded as the "Swiss Army Knife" of luxury vehicles. It belongs to the L405 generation, which was a landmark for the brand because it introduced an all-aluminum body, making the car significantly lighter and more agile than its predecessors.
The most famous attribute of any Range Rover is the Command Driving Position. Sitting in the driver’s seat feels more like sitting in a high-end armchair than a car. Because of the low "waistline" of the windows and the thin pillars, you have a panoramic view of the road that few other SUVs can match. It gives a sense of security and confidence, whether you're navigating tight city streets or open highways.
While the V8 models are about raw speed, your 3.0L Supercharged V6 is about refinement. Because it is supercharged (not turbocharged), there is no "lag." The moment you press the pedal, the power is there. It provides a linear, silk-like acceleration that suits the "Vogue" name perfectly. It has enough power (340 HP) to move this large vehicle with ease, but it does so quietly and without effort.
Your car features Electronic Air Suspension that cross-links the air springs. This allows the car to "read" the road and compensate for bumps before you feel them. On the highway, it lowers itself slightly to improve aerodynamics and stability; off-road, it can lift significantly to clear obstacles. The result is a ride that feels detached from the harshness of the road often described as a "magic carpet ride."
Your Vogue isn't just a luxury car; it’s a world-class off-roader. In your center console, the "Auto" setting means you don't have to be an expert. The car’s computers monitor the surface 100 times per second and automatically adjust the drivetrain, suspension, and traction control. It can drive through water up to 900mm deep higher than most competitors thanks to its "Queen’s gaiters" air intake system.
The 2017 interior was the sweet spot for Land Rover design. You are surrounded by real wood veneers, brushed aluminum, and high-grade leather. The 10.2-inch widescreen (standard for 2017) brought the cabin into the modern era with much faster response times and clearer graphics than earlier models. Extensive use of acoustic laminated glass makes the interior a sanctuary, keeping wind and tire noise almost entirely outside.
The Vogue’s exterior design is iconic. It manages to look expensive and "stately" without being overly flashy. The "floating roof" design (where the pillars are blacked out) and the "side gills" give it a sleekness that disguises its actual size. It is a car that looks equally at home at a five-star hotel as it does in a muddy field.
In short, it is a vehicle designed to be as appropriate at a black-tie event as it is traversing a mountain pass. It offers a sense of "command" and capability that few other cars can replicate, making it a true icon of automotive engineering.
