Land Rover’s Holland & Holland edition Range Rover is ready for upscale hunting

If you’re going to drive your luxurious Range Rover into the woods, why not equip it with some equally high-end guns to shoot things with when you get there?

Land Rover itself  liked that idea, so it teamed up with British gun maker Holland & Holland to offer a special-edition Range Rover full of the bespoke touches one normally associates with handcrafted firearms.

A Holland & Holland Range Rover made a splash on Top Gear a few seasons back, impressing the show’s irascible hosts with its built-in liquor cabinet. That car was built by tuner Overfinch, though, while this one is a factory job from Land Rover’s newly minted Special Vehicle Operations (SVO).

Based on the already-posh Range Rover Autobiography Black model, the Holland & Holland edition features a  gun cabinet lined in espresso-colored Alcantara that rests on a specially-designed moveable floor made from aluminum and carbon fiber, and finished in wood veneer and leather.

The Holland & Holland treatment can be added to either a standard-wheelbase or long-wheelbase Range Rover, the latter with available individual reclining rear seats. The interior is redone with electrically-deployed walnut tables, USB charging ports, and additional storage cubbies (for ammo?).

Details like wood veneer trim that matches the stocks of Holland & Holland guns, embroidery, and engraved door handles class things up even more.

In contrast to the lavish interior, the only real exterior change is a unique green paint color and matching grille that makes the Holland & Holland Range Rover look like it just drove out of the green-tinted world of the The Matrix.

Two V8 engines will be offered: a 510-horsepower supercharged gasoline mill and a 4.4-liter turbodiesel with 339 hp.

It appears Land Rover will only offer the Holland & Holland Range Rover in the U.K., at a staggering price of 180,000 pounds (about $285,000 at current exchange rates). Only 120 examples will be built.

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

Honda believes hydrogen semi trucks will make the case for fuel cells
Honda hydrogen fuel-cell semi truck.

Honda remains committed to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but the market for those vehicles remains limited. So Honda is looking at other uses for fuel cells -- including commercial trucks.

To show how that could work, Honda converted a semi truck to fuel-cell power, replacing its diesel engine with three fuel-cell modules. Together, the three modules produce a combined 321 horsepower, and can propel the truck to a top speed of 70 mph. There's enough onboard hydrogen storage capacity for a 400-mile range with a full load, Honda claims.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs Rivian R2: Is the much cheaper Rivian actually better?
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off of the new "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it's basically a new electric G-Wagon. It looks a lot like the G-Wagon you know and love, but with an electric powertrain and a battery. It's not the only electric SUV out there, however, and there are some great ones -- like the Rivian R2.

Both the Mercedes G580 and the Rivian R2 have a lot going for them, but they also approach the electric SUV slightly differently. Is one better than the other? I put the two head-to-head to find out.

The approach that the two vehicles take to design is quite different -- and you might like one better than the other.
