Simply Abu Dhabi XIII

3 3 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I I f you’re a regular reader of Simply Cars, you’re no doubt aware that we’re rather fond of the Range Rover in all its current forms. In fact, not too long ago we were pouring praise on the latest incarnation of the Sport model, a particular favourite of this writer. However, if you like a touch more luxury both on and off the road, there comes a time when you simply have to take a look at the Sport’s slightly bigger, somewhat more refined brother the Range Rover Vogue. And what a looker it is. Having recently benefitted from a comprehensive restyle and remodeling, the Vogue is a massively imposing beast yet blessed with some stunning design details that make it equally at home cruising the boulevard as it is bruising the roughest off-road terrain. Taking a few cues from the cutting-edge styling of the Evoque, the lights both front and rear now sparkle like diamonds against the super-slick bodywork and blend beautifully into the car’s sleek lines, combining to add a look of real quality and prestige to an already impressive package. Make no mistake, this Range Rover carries all the hallmarks that have made these vehicles design classics from their first appearance. What’s happened here is that those clever designers at Land Rover have taken the very best features from those models and enhanced them with distinctly 21st Century updates. AT CLOS E RANGE
