We've tried the D350 and it's superb. But does a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 make the L460 even better?
about the new L460 Range Rover. It was based on the D350 diesel version and in it I made a statement: “This Ingenium straight-six diesel,” I alleged, “is absolutely fantastic; it is one of the best diesel engines on the market. Fact.” I’m not about to reverse ferret on that, either. It really is an absolute gem of a thing. And it raises an interesting question: is the D350 so good that there’s no point in buying the P530? After all, the flagship now comes with BMW’s N63 4.
The first concerns ride, which I reckon falls in favour of the V8. It seems to me this P530 is a little more comfortable than the D350. Now, both cars deliver magic-carpet levels of waft most of the time. Driving them around the Oxfordshire B roads, which are puckered like my mate Nick’s face when he thinks about DERV, the L460 is sublimely cosseting whatever is lurking under the bonnet.
Otherwise, the two versions are similar. Take the rest of the handling. Whatever the engine, within reason you can still hustle this massive SUV along with ease because the standard 48-volt active anti-roll system gives it some stability. Just enough to stop the body bobbing about over uneven roads or lurching over on the outside wheels alarmingly during cornering. You cannot get carried away, though.
Inside they’re inseparable. The lofty driving position is agreeably premium and perfectly arranged to make driving stress free. And both the examples I’ve tried were Autobiographies, which means plush fittings and supremely comfortable seats in the front. These have every adjustment you can imagine and a multitude of massage functions to boot.
