About the Land Rover Range Rover L405
The L405 generation Range Rover marked a significant leap forward for the brand, featuring an innovative all-aluminium monocoque that shed 420kg compared to its predecessor. The SDV8 variant is highly regarded by collectors for its 4.4-litre Ford-sourced diesel engine, which provides a level of effortless, low-end torque that perfectly suits the car's 'wafting' character. In Vogue trim, it offers a comprehensive luxury experience with air suspension and a commanding driving position, though it lacks some of the more opulent rear-seat features of the Autobiography. While newer mild-hybrid straight-sixes replaced it, the SDV8 remains a definitive choice for long-distance refinement and towing capability.
