This Land Rover Range Rover SUV is long on luxury

Mark Glover’s AutoGlo car reviews can be seen here and in the Cruisin’ News, "Oregon, Nevada and California's classic auto news & marketplace."

Sacramento, California -- In the land of luxury, you want to be careful.

Having tested hundreds upon hundreds of vehicles over the years, there's a tendency to just let it rip when you get a new auto to sample.

But Land Rover gives one pause ... especially taking delivery of the latest Land Rover Range Rover SE 7 LWB (as in "long wheelbase").  After all, you don't want to be making dents in a vehicle that STARTS at $120,700, right?

Precisely.  So, I can say after a week of taking extreme care in the tested Range Rover, it's worth every penny.  Yes, it is, seriously.

The seven-seater radiates luxury.  The white interior surfaces on the tester were perfectly placed and stitched.  And incredibly comfortable.

Surrounded by prime wood and metal materials -- polished to perfection -- I felt like the casual tourist walking into a five-star suite in Manhattan. I'm thinking: "Do I really belong here? I mean my name is not Rockefeller."

I could go through the long, long list of state-of-the-art comfort/convenience/safety features, but rest assured, this particular luxury liner is loaded with only the best, only the most sophisticated, only the most opulent features.  A demanding luxury lover is not going to be disappointed.

The most basic features are exceptional as well.

The 3-liter, in-line 6 engine is rated at 400 horsepower, and it responds instantly with muscular, yet amazingly quiet power.  An iron fist in a velvet glove.

I packed the tester with an exceptional amount of cargo and found it capable of carrying full-size truck levels of stuff.

The long wheelbase takes some time to master, especially in tight parking spots, but the advantages gained in the cargo area make it totally worth it.

Overall, it's a luxury lover's dream.  For those who can afford the fare, enjoy it with care.
