Range Rover Classic the FIRST real SUV ever: car design review | Niels van Roij Design

Описание: Hope you enjoy this video on the #RangeRoverClassic. It was the FIRST real SUV and you asked us to do a review. Shot at Klaas & Terlouw, Enter, The Netherlands.


The first-generation Range Rover was produced between 1969 and 1996. It was available only in a 2-door body until 1981.

Unlike other 4x4s such as the Jeep Wagoneer, the original #RangeRover was not designed as a luxury vehicle. It was up-market compared to preceding Land Rover models, but the early Range Rovers had fairly basic, utilitarian, interiors with vinyl seats and plastic dashboards that were designed to be washed down with a hose. Convenience features such as power steering, carpeted floors, air conditioning, cloth/leather seats, and wooden interior trim were fitted later.

The Range Rover was a body-on-frame design with a box section ladder type chassis, like the contemporary Series Land Rovers. The Range Rover used coil springs as opposed to leaf springs, permanent four-wheel drive, and four-wheel disc brakes. The Range Rover was originally powered by various Rover V8 engines and diesel engines.


The first generation was known as the Range Rover until almost the end of its production when Land Rover introduced the name Range Rover Classic to distinguish it from its successors. The original model served as the basis for the 1989 introduced 1st generation Discovery (directly based on the standard (short) wheelbase Range Rover), and for the 2nd generation Range Rover, based on the LWB chassis of the Classic.
