Brand Vice President, Land Rover, North America. "Our customers are
incredible brand enthusiasts so they share in the excitement of the
U.S. debut of the all‑new Range Rover."
In front of an audience of individually selected loyal
customers, the uniquely capable all‑new Range Rover made an
appropriate arrival traversing a rocky angled path to enter the
stunning backyard gardens of The Stone Mansion, where the guests
got their first chance for an up‑close look at the highly

engineered at Land Rover's development centers in the United

Land Rover off‑road capability and transformed on‑road handling and
agility. The vehicle is unmistakably a Range Rover in design and
