Car: Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography

Feature: Leather ceiling

Why: Nobody does leather like Land Rover, and a recently tested, top dog Autobiography, extended-wheelbase flagship version of this classy off-roader came with the most luxurious ceiling I’ve ever seen. Most ceilings in mainstream cars are finished in low-grade, felt-like fuzz, some sort of nylon mesh fabric or even dollar-store grade vinyl -- but not here. The ceiling in the Range Rover Autobiography is made of gorgeous, smooth, creamy leather, with flat and perforated panels intersecting around the grab handles, ceiling mounted speakers and interior lighting provisions for an extra layer of detail and sophistication. Its wrapped right to the very edges of the Range Rover’s ceiling liner, and it’s not the cheap leather either: it’s smooth as silk and smells glorious.
