Range Rover Facts for Kids

The Range Rover is a special type of car called an SUV. It's made by the British company Land Rover. These cars are put together in factories in places like Solihull and Liverpool in England. Today, Land Rover is part of a bigger company called Tata, which also owns Jaguar.

At first, the Range Rover was made for people who lived in the countryside, especially farmers. They needed a strong car with four-wheel drive to go off-road on their land. The older Land Rovers were tough and open, good for hard work, but not great for families. The Range Rover changed that. It's much more comfortable and perfect for families. Many people use it as a regular car for daily trips or to carry lots of gear. Range Rover engines can be different sizes, from 3-litre V6 engines to bigger 5-litre V8 engines.

There are many different types of Range Rovers sold around the world. Some popular ones include the Range Rover Sport, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Velar, and Range Rover Evoque. These newer models often have a smoother, more modern look. The Evoque, for example, is designed to be popular with people who live in cities. All the new Range Rover models are also being made to use less fuel and produce less pollution, like CO₂. Some of these newer models are known as "compact SUVs" because they are a bit smaller.
