Inspired by the California coastline, the Range Rover Carmel Edition is just about as luxurious as it gets.
Even Jaguar Land Rover's more affordable products reek of opulence, but the English brand is kicking it up a notch for Monterey Car Week.
Driving down US 101 from San Francisco International Airport to Carmel Highlands, there is not much to complain about behind the wheel of a 2024 Range Rover Velar. My already aging back is lumbar supported, power is ample from the 247-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and my mirrors are gentling shaking courtesy of Andre Nickatina.
That's because it's built on the stretched, standard rear-screen, tray table-ready Range Rover SV, sporting a BMW-borrowed 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 making 608 hp. But all that power isn't necessarily for embarrassing a Porsche Boxster off the line.
