Best buy: All-wheel drive, over 1,800kg

The heavyweight all-wheel-drive prize goes to the Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE. Ride comfort
was second to none in this company, and the commanding visibility and armchair-like seats make it a great mile-muncher. Our only black mark against the Range Rover was for the wind noise generated by its additional mirrors.
