Photos: 2010 Range Rover

Land Rover’s 2010 Range Rover feels less like a truck and more like a four-stack ocean liner -- all gliding, frictionless serenity and near-silence, betraying no trace of the furious coal-shoveling going on below decks. (Dan Neil / Los Angeles Times)

It has an upgraded switchgear (with “noble”-finish aluminum), leather headliner, a very nifty thin-film transistor (TFT) instrument display, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and a host of other switches, systems and continued-on-the-next-page devices. (Dan Neil / Los Angeles Times)

Though we don’t typically tar Land Rover with the same brush, its vehicles get roughly the same gas mileage as the Hummer, the bad boy of fuel efficiency. (Dan Neil / Los Angeles Times)
