Kendall Jenner's Birthday Gift... Are you really surprised?


Apparently people are making a big deal about Kendall Jenner and her Sweet 16 Birthday gift, a black Range Rover. Can I bring up several points: One: This family is a huge Range Rover Family. All of them, at one point in their lives, have had their own Range Rover. Two, does anyone remember the show on MTV "My Super Sweet 16"? Some of those kids scored better than Kendall by receiving far more expensive cars. One boy in New Jersey did receive that Mercedes S550.


I did a little digging. All of the media outlets are stating that it cost $90,000 and that it was a 2012 Range Rover. Based on the price within Calabasas, CA (where they live), Kendall received the 2012 Range Rover HSE Supercharged, unless if Kris Jenner is that good and Land Rover shaved $30,000 off of the price of a Range Rover Autobiography Edition (MSRP: $130,000), and I seriously doubt that.

Time to run the specs:

Height: 73.9 inches
Length: 195.8 inches
Width: 77.0 inches
Engine: 5.0L V-8
Power: 510 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
Transmission: 6-spd w/OD
0-60: 5.8 seconds
Drivetrain: four-wheel aka All Wheel Drive
Wheelbase: 113.8 inches (some 24s will fit comfortably)
MPG: 12 City / 18 HWY (As long as she doesn't get gas in Beverly Hills, she'll be okay. Beverly Hills charges $1 more PER GALLON, than Los Angeles)
MSRP: $94,820 which means the invoice/sticker price was about $90,000.


By all means, I'm not a stan for this family. I just watch the show and I'm smart enough to know anything that this family does will not affect me in any way and it won't stop me from living my life. The real question is will the amount of time of her having the car last longer than her sister's marriage?

  1. You're right! The Kardashians are a big family of Range Rovers, so it's possible that this car gift didn't come to her as a surprise anymore. It's not a big deal if someone in her family will get such car because in the first place, they can afford it. Range Rovers have excellent specs and I do hope that they realize it to get the appreciation that this car deserves.

  2. I think that it's possible to feel surprised even though you have a hint that a particular scene will happen. If someone gives you a Range Rover, who cares if you're genuinely surprised or not? Any girl driving such an enormous car would be proud, especially if the car is just as lavish as a Range Rover.
