Peach Car Of The Week: 2005 Range Rover Vogue Review

2005 Range Rover Vogue Design and Comfort
The Range Rover comes with a beautiful European-flavor cabin and the latest in safety features. Riding in this car just makes you feel classy and sophisticated. The plush leather seats, premium infotainment features, and easy-to-reach buttons all enhance the comfort of this car.
One of the special features of the Range Rover Vogue is its self-adjusting steering wheel when you start the engine. This lowers or raises the steering wheel to the driver’s comfort. It also has a height adjustment button so you can lower the car for children to comfortably get aboard.
On the exterior, the Range Rover’s smooth and taut contours give it a beastly yet cute look. The shiny silver color and alloy rims only add to the allure of this car. It has an imposing look about it that other road users won’t be able to ignore.
Range Rover Vogue Ride Handling and Quality
Designed and engineered by BMW, the Range Rover offers a satisfying blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability. The 3000cc Td6 diesel engine guarantees legendary performance regardless of the terrain you’re driving in. With features such as a permanent four-wheel-drive system, all-terrain traction, stability control, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, you’ll enjoy the confident handling of this car.
If you can afford the price of admission, this is one luxury SUV that won’t disappoint when it comes to taking on the road.
It rides softly on air springs, handles well at speed, and has refined drive about it. Its off-road credentials remain exceptional, and it is so cleverly designed that the rough stuff isn’t quite the existential threat to the bodywork.
What Does it Cost to Run and Maintain the Range Rover Vogue?
This is a premium SUV. What that means is that you can’t take it to a roadside mechanic for maintenance and repairs. The good news is that there are certified service centers spread across the country where you can get genuine spare parts and services.
Regular maintenance and servicing (recommended every 6 months or 26,000km) should also keep the car in good running condition.
Peach Cars offers you a 288-point inspection report that helps you know the true condition of the used Range Rover Vogue and budget accordingly for any repairs that may be needed.
