    Overview

    The Range Rover, introduced in 1970, created the luxury SUV segment and has remained its benchmark for over five decades. The current fifth-generation model (L460), launched in October 2021, represents the most technologically advanced iteration yet. It rides on the MLA-Flex architecture using high-strength steels and aluminum, with fully independent air suspension and all-wheel steering. The cabin offers five or seven seats, with materials ranging from Windsor leather to semi-aniline options, and a 13.1-inch curved touchscreen running Land Rover's Pivi Pro infotainment system. Over 70 electronic modules can receive software-over-the-air updates, allowing the vehicle to improve after purchase.

    Powertrain choices include plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 in the top SV Ultra trim. All models feature an eight-speed automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case. The Terrain Response 2 system automatically adapts to surfaces from sand to rock crawl. Maximum wading depth is 900 millimeters, and ground clearance can be raised to 295 millimeters via the air suspension.

    Built at Land Rover's Solihull plant in the UK, the Range Rover is positioned above competitors like the Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7. Trim levels include SE, Autobiography, SV, SV Black, and SV Ultra. The 2025 model received a J.D. Power Quality & Reliability score of 80 out of 100 and an overall score of 79 out of 100, ranking second among large luxury SUVs.
