ForbesAutos

[interior] fit and finish...lead[s] one to believe it was handcrafted
Kelley Blue Book

The 2009 Land Rover Range Rover earns a perfect 10 for comfort and interior quality from TheCarConnection.com.

According to ForbesAutos, "five adults will find that the Range Rover's leather-clad cabin affords ample comfort." Kelley Blue Book cautions that it "has excellent room for four passengers, though it is designed to hold five." Autoblog praises the Land Rover Range Rover's "supportive seats," which "are a treat for those staring down long stretches of bitumen." These, according to Cars.com, are available in "two grades of leather upholstery: Blenheim and Windsor," of which Windsor is the higher grade; the reviewer comments of the 2009 Land Rover Range Rover's seats that "their quality would befit any six-figure car, though the raised stitching on the inserts dug into my back at times."

The 2009 Land Rover Range Rover has no third row, but "both rows of seats offer excellent legroom and headroom." Edmunds says the "seating position is notably upright, but both front and rear passengers will find the accommodations supportive and roomy" while riding in the Range Rover 2009.

ConsumerGuide says "overall cargo volume is tight for the class," but does note that "dual gloveboxes and large door pockets make for good interior storage." Cars.com reports "maximum cargo volume of 74.2 cubic feet"; Edmunds contends this is "only average due to a high load floor."

The 2009 Range Rover earns high marks for comfort and interior quality from everyone, with AutoWeek proclaiming it is "barely rattled by anything the back roads can dish out." ForbesAutos gloats that anyone riding in the Land Rover Range Rover can "sip champagne from its exquisite leather seats while fording streams and climbing muddy grades." Kelley Blue Book says the interior "fit and finish...lead[s] one to believe it was handcrafted." ConsumerGuide proclaims that the "interior is premium all the way...materials used befit the Range Rover's premium pedigree."

ConsumerGuide reports that the "engine emits a refined snarl during acceleration, is inaudible otherwise. Impressively little wind or road noise for a tall SUV...virtually no coarse-surface tire thrum."

Conclusion

Five adults can ride in comfort and luxury aboard the 2009 Land Rover Range Rover.

Other Choices:

BMW's X5 has a third-row seat and a V-8 version. The military-spec Mercedes-Benz G-Class is just as upright and can be nearly as plush. The Lexus LX 570 is essentially a trimmed-out Toyota Land Cruiser, and off-road performance is equal, if not superior, to that of the Range Rover—but the LX 570 is a bit more conservative and lacks the personality of the other vehicles. The Cadillac Escalade is more of an on-road vehicle, but it's flashier in an urban (or urbane) way. However, none of the vehicles listed quite match the Range Rover’s savoir faire.
