They wouldn't be to wide at 78.1 inches but at 87.4 inches which they are I find them a bit wide for multi-storey car parks and narrow roads.
You are including mirrors which are not part of standard vehicle width measurement.A range rover body is 78.1 inches wide

In that case you need to factor in the wing mirrors on other vehicles.
So the range rover mirrors are dwarfed by the massive lugs on vans and trucks, and everyday hatchbacks are about 80 inches when you factor in the mirrors
Let's just stick to standard body widths like everyone else eh?
At 78.1 inches wide the Range Rover is only a few inches wider than a jaguar f-type (75.7 in)

Just so we are clear the width with folded mirrors is 2073mm (81.6 inches) So the range rover mirrors are dwarfed by the massive lugs on vans and trucks, and everyday hatchbacks are about 80 inches when you factor in the mirrors

HTH.
That includes the mirror stubs... it's not the standard body width measurement

Jeez, those who think it's too wide need to try driving a van or something. Plenty of other vehicles out there with drivers who don't moan. Someone saying it's too wide for multi-storey car parks then saying the width stated by someone else didn't include wing mirrors....last time I drove a wide car at a MS car park it was tight because of the risk of kerbing the wheels, not scraping the wing mirrors. Mirrors also fold in in the rare situation this is a necessity.

So are you saying that not only folding the mirrors that the complete removal of the mirrors and "stubs" is a rational way of measuring the width of a car for everyday use? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_Rover_%28L40...

Yes it's the industry standard... you might want to do some research.
All those cars on Wikipedia and elsewhere... that's the body width listed.
I would imagine that most RR have mirrors though or if they go by the "industry standard" when negotiating tight spaces, maybe not! All those cars on Wikipedia and elsewhere... that's the body width listed.
It is as useful as every other metric, in that it doesn't really tell you anything at all over and above it being a number.
It could well be that it is really wide AND has enormous doors which are hinged really badly meaning you have to open them extra-wide to actually get in or out of the vehicle. Meaning that whilst the car, when static, will fit within a standard size parking bay, you might not actually be able to get in or out of it, or walk alongside it, if someone else is parked next to you.
It is like the regular talk of boot space measured in litres, but less talk about the actual aperture size you have available to use, or how that space is arranged around other bits of the car.

Sweet Jesus, is the primary argument for/against SUVs now the size of wing mirrors?
The FFRR is not too big for UK roads, let alone anywhere else in the world.
If you can't manage a FFRR on UK roads, you should have your licence clipped to allow you only to drive mini-cars. FFS
MTFU snowflakes etc.
