Are Range Rovers a thing in Hong Kong?

They were a thing for a brief time in the 1980s with short people in Chelsea and Sloane Square, where they and their drivers become known as the "Sloane Rangers".

In spite of being fairly enormous on the outside, Range Rovers paradoxically have the smallest interiors of any I've even been in - I literally can't even sit up straight in the front seat with the seat lowered as much as possible. If I slouch down enough to see out the windshield it's impossible to safely drive. They're like one of those tiny clown cars from the circus with a huge false exterior attached.

Range Rovers have certainly never used much the mysteriously-missing-interior-space for an engine given their 15 second to 20 second 0 to 60 time.

Land Rovers have more room but are even slower and they drive like a truck.

Have these vehicles changed much since the Indian firm Tata bought them? Popular with young people because they're now the least inexpensive?
