What’s this then?
This is the Land Rover Range Rover, a luxurious SUV with plenty of tech onboard. This particular 2017 example in Vogue trim can be yours for €94,900.
What’s so special about it?
The Range Rover is like a Bentley wearing hiking boots – luxurious, refined but rugged and ready to tackle all terrain. It is one of the best and most capable luxury cars money can buy.
Any standout design features?
This particular Vogue model is finished in Loire Blue metallic paint and features front fog lights, rear LED lights, Xenon headlamps with signature lighting, privacy glass and a body coloured full size sliding panoramic roof. There are power folding mirrors and a power tailgate. It sits on top of 21-inch seven split-spoke alloys with silver finish.
This car is powered by a LR-TDV6 3.0-litre diesel unit with stop/start technology. This engine is mated to an eight-speed transmission with Terrain Response, which sends power to all four wheels. The engine produces 258hp and 600Nm of torque. The car accelerates 0-100km/h in 8 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 209km/h.
It is dripping with luxurious touches including a sumptuous ebony/ivory interior with Oxford leather seats, grand black lacquer wood finishers and a 380W Meridian audio system. It has heated electric memory seats with lumbar support, a 360-degree parking aid with reverse camera, onboard WiFi and it even has a DVD/TV and a fridge in the centre console.
Someone who wants the best of the best. Who wants a capable workhorse that can go well off-road and tackle all terrain yet transport the whole family in the utmost comfort, luxury and style.

@Tom Barry: they prefer looking after economic migrants more than there own citizens nowadays it is actually disgraceful tbh even more so on people who keep voting these in we really need a government that looks after our own PROBLEMS first and foremost before they start looking after everybody else simple
@Happy As Larry: It’s an awful pity a lot of ‘our own’ can’t look after themselves…..full employment and there are still huge numbers that couldn’t be bothered working and want to be looked after from the cradle to the grave….also never mind the live register of unemployment,the won’t work/will never work are not on those numbers.
@SYaxJ2Ts: Hi Kev, is it really the states duty to deal with any issues except it’s own? Charity should be up to the public, spending there own money as they chose and if that’s to help others less well off in other countries, fair play. Charity should not be something that is mandated by the state at the tax payers expense.

@John Terry: i completely agree, dublin teens openin their legs and bang free gaf, then they move the father of the future sponge in and still claim single parents along with rent, elecy, gas allowances and money to spend for the week on top of that, i know one getting over 600 a week AFTER her rent and bills are paid as a lone parent with the father of the baby living with ber
Inflation may be coming down Éamon Ryan but prices are not, so don’t see how you maintain its good, people’s wages did not go up in line with inflation
Nothing short of disgraceful inflation reduction has very little to do with gov policy but suddenly a bargaining tool that was not used in the last talks shame on you
Having negotiated salary increases over the last two years that were way behind inflation the unions are once again playing a blinder in helping the govt reduce people’s wages in real terms. Would be really interesting to see if these union negotiators end up being rewarded in the future with payments from govt in the form of board positions on various quangos. The old imno head retired on a pension way above what nurses get and was also rewarded with payed seat on a lucrative quango for those on it. This for ensuring nurses pay kept well below what it should be, Sile is carrying on where he left off
It is depressing to see people who post blaming immigrants for all our ills. Dragging out wage negotiations for public service workers was going on for years, long before we had the large number of immigrants.
Journal is a joke you can’t leave a comment on a serious issue graham lennihan is mostly correct why can’t we say it like it is im a male I wasn’t sure as I child I had to become happy with life allow children to develop and decide stop this pressure
Any pay increases should be tied to serious reform of working practices/contracts and especially accountability. The quality of our public services vs the money we pump into it is dismal.
