Those concerned with safety will appreciate a total of 8-airbags, including driver and dual-threshold front-passenger airbags, side airbags for front seating positions and head protection airbags for both front and rear outside occupants. In closing, I'm thrilled with what both BMW and Ford's PAG have done with this legendary overachiever. Other than the confusing infotainment interface it's a jewel of an automobile. That said the next generation Range Rover won't receive BMW's involvement, but the bar has now been set. It's truly the best it's ever been and the most impressive SUV currently available.
