Range Rover Vogue

The Range Rover Vogue is the car people reach for when they want luxury without theatre. This is the latest generation, the cleanest design the Range Rover has ever worn, and its 4.4 litre twin-turbo V8 produces 523 horsepower while staying almost silent at a cruise. It moves a heavy SUV from 0 to 100 in 4.6 seconds, yet the way it suits Dubai is the calm. The cabin shuts out Sheikh Zayed Road completely, and the air suspension flattens the worst of the speed bumps around the villa districts.

It is the SUV most people picture for the practical side of a Dubai trip rather than the strip. The boot swallows the luggage of a full family at the airport, the rear seats heat, cool and recline, and the high seating position makes the run from the airport out to Palm Jumeirah or a DIFC meeting effortless. Renting one for a week or two makes far more sense than owning for visitors and long-stay residents, since the latest model is the one you want. It is equally at home valet-parked at a Business Bay tower or pointed at Hatta for the weekend.

This is the car for the family that lands in Dubai and wants space, quiet and a name that opens doors at every hotel and restaurant. It carries five in genuine comfort, handles Dubai Marina parking with its all-wheel steering, and looks right everywhere from JBR to a desert track near Al Qudra. We deliver it to your door, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
