This smooth and punchy diesel engine covers 0-60mph in 5.8sec, and is impressively muted when driving.

3.0 D350

Land Rover is synonymous with SUVs, and especially with the Defender – the rugged runabout that has seen service in war zones across the world, but also as part of the Queen’s personal garage.

If off-road prowess is one of Land Rover’s core values, though, the other is luxury. Indeed, the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar are among the best luxury SUVs you can buy.

The Discovery, meanwhile, is a practical rival for the Audi Q7 and BMW X5, while the stylish Evoque (which is available as a three-door convertible as well as a traditional SUV) goes head to head with Audi’s Q3 and BMW’s X1.

In the coming years, we’ll see a new road-biased ‘Road Rover’ as well as an all-new Defender.

Range-topping SV trim has pretty much all the equipment you could possibly add to the Range Rover. This includes ceramic dials for the climate controls and a bespoke leather finish in the interior (you still need to pay extra if you want 13.1in screens in the back for your passengers, though). It's an extremely expensive trim, and you can’t have it with seven seats.

Land Rover Range Rover

The Range Rover offers a wonderful interior which is as luxurious as it is practical, a fabulously comfortable ride, brilliant levels of refinement, and is the undisputed off-road king in the luxury SUV class. We suspect one of the plug-in hybrids – with their very impressive electric range, will be the pick of the line-up. Still, no matter which version you go for, it’s very expensive to buy and Land Rover’s poor reliability record is a concern.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Logical and beautifully built interior, with great infotainment</li> <li>More than enough space for five passengers or, even better, seven</li> <li>Strong performance along with impressive efficiency</li> <li>Composed handling that limits any feeling of unwieldiness</li></ul>

We class a luxury SUV as being anything where our pick of the range costs more than £45,000 – and at this price point, buyers' expectations are high. So, as well as all of the qualities that make regular SUVs such well-rounded choices –&nbsp;such as decent space for passengers and luggage, a classy interior and robust materials – we also want a cosseting ride, the latest driver assistance technology and enough space to really stretch out.

The Land Rover Discovery proves that you don't need to spend a lot of money to get a luxurious SUV, but if you've got a bit more to spend, the Audi Q7 is perennially popular among buyers, and with good reason. Or, at the very top of this market, there are newer additions such as the BMW X7 to consider.
