Range Rover SVAutobiography takes on Bentley Bentayga – Battle for Luxury and Speed

Range Rover is always mentioned when someone talks about luxury cars. Land Rover, the company who produces the Range line struck gold when it came up with the SUV’s “mean-looking” design. The reason we are saying this is because Range Rover is one of the best sold SUVs in the world and there’s no other company that can compete with it.

The new car that’s going to compete head on against Range Rover is none other than the recently unveiled 2017 Bentley Bentayga.
