You can expect to pay more for insurance if you step up from the premium Range Rover HSE to the ultra-premium Range Rover Supercharged for $90,035. Both are new 2006 models that went on sale this summer. The more-powerful supercharged engine provides 400 hp, compared to the 305-hp engine in the HSE. Aspiring to be the world's premier SUV, Range Rover is packed with sophisticated equipment, including a fiber-optic wiring harness in place of commonplace copper wire. Its automatically adjusting air suspension system suits the SUV for both comfortable on-road driving and tenacious rough-terrain performance. But because of its complexity and the cost of its parts, the suspension can be expensive to repair.
