The Land Rover Range Rover is also available with 3 liter turbo diesel, 6 cylinder engine with 346 Bhp-700 Nm, and a 3 liter turbo petrol plug-in hybrid powertrain that makes 503 Bhp-700 Nm. The diesel and petrol plug-in hybrid engines are meant for those who want better fuel efficiency.

Mohammed Siraj and his other cars
Apart from the new Range Rover that’s the latest addition to his garage, Mohammed Siraj is also said to own a Mercedes Benz S-Class, a Mahindra Thar that was gifted to him by Anand Mahindra, a BMW 5-Series sedan and a Toyota Fortuner. The cricketer’s story has been one that of rags to riches, quite literally. From riding a Bajaj Platina to practice to now being driven in a Range Rover, Siraj has come a long way. We wish him more success, and hope that he brings more laurels to the country’s national cricket team through his fast bowling exploits.
