2025 Land Rover Range Rover Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Land Rover has grown an entire family tree of Range Rover models—including the Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Evoque, and Range Rover Velar—but this review focuses on the classic Land Rover Range Rover, which itself is sold in multiple configurations. Standard-wheelbase and long-wheelbase versions are available, and the latter can be optioned with a third row of seats.

Buyers can also choose from SE, Autobiography, and SV trim levels, but not with all body styles. The standard-wheelbase Range Rover is available in all three trim levels, but the long-wheelbase three-row model is only available as an SE or Autobiography, while the two-row long-wheelbase Range Rover is only available in Autobiography or SV spec. Base Range Rover SE models come standard with 21-inch wheels, while Autobiography and SV models get standard 22-inch wheels.

This fifth-generation Range Rover, codenamed L460, was introduced for the 2022 model year. However, it doesn’t look terribly different from the fourth-generation L405 model that preceded it. The main tells are updated headlights and taillights, with the latter integrated with a fuselage-like section of rear bodywork. Still, the design is aging well. Our long-wheelbase test vehicle looked ready to whisk a Bond villain off to their volcanic lair.

With its ample size and minimal exterior detailing, the Range Rover conveys its status in an admirably subtle way. It looks every bit the high-end SUV but without the nouveaux-riche flashiness of a Bentley Bentayga or Rolls-Royce Cullinan, let alone the Escalades and Navigators it’s more likely to share private-school drop-off lines with. Details like the vertical trim piece ahead of the front doors and the angled rear roof pillar also make it instantly recognizable as a Range Rover.

The interior matches the exterior’s emphasis on simplicity. There’s hardly anything on the dashboard except a touchscreen, an awkwardly placed engine start button, and a nib of a shifter. That makes for a somewhat stark appearance, but the subtle curve of the dash, hidden air vents, and nice integration of the touchscreen show an attention to detail often missing from minimalist interiors like this. Our long-wheelbase SE test car had a bit too much plastic for a six-figure vehicle, but that was the only issue when it came to materials.

North America doesn’t get the diesel engines available in Europe, but there are still plenty of powertrain options—all with an eight-speed automatic transmission and 4WD. The entry-level option is a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six engine with a mild hybrid system, rated at 395 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. This engine can also be had as part of a plug-in hybrid powertrain producing 543 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.

A V8 option remains as well, but it’s no longer Land Rover’s in-house 5.0-litre supercharged engine. Instead, it’s a BMW-sourced twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 making 523 hp and 553 lb-ft in SE and Autobiography models, and 606 hp and 553 lb-ft in the Range Rover SV, getting the latter from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 260 km/h in short-wheelbase form, according to Land Rover. The BMW X7 M60 xDrive has the same engine in the 523-hp tune; for more power you need the limited-volume Alpina XB7.

Our three-row test car offered a very different driving experience to the BMW, though. It wasn’t as athletic or agile, but it more than made up for that in comfort and refinement. It felt more like a traditional luxury car than anything designed to leave the pavement. Even on optional 23-inch wheels, excellent ride quality minimized road imperfections. Body control was excellent as well, and while it’s not a small vehicle, the Range Rover’s well-tuned suspension and steering meant it was easy to drive delicately. Lots of weight and a comfort-focused suspension are usually a recipe for floppiness and passenger head toss, but not here. Rear-seat passengers kvelled.

Standard features like a two-speed transfer case, brake-based torque vectoring, Terrain Response drive modes, and height-adjustable air suspension ensure the Range Rover remains a capable off-roader. With the suspension set at its off-road height, standard-wheelbase models have 28 centimetres of ground clearance and can wade through up to 90 cm of water, according to Land Rover. A 34.7-degree approach angle, 29-degree departure angle, and 25.2-degree breakover angle are impressive as well. A G-Wagen or Lexus LX (basically a fancy Toyota Land Cruiser) might be easier to maneuver on the trail, but the Range Rover holds its own while providing a truly spacious interior.

For 2025, three-row Range Rovers are all seven-seaters with second-row captain’s chairs and a third-row bench. Two-row models seat five with a bench in the second row. Headroom across all three rows is ample, and if you opt for the long wheelbase but not the third-row seats, the Range Rover’s 1,220 millimetres of second-row legroom is unmatched among big luxury SUVs.

That model’s 3,197-millimetre wheelbase (20 centimetres longer than the standard-wheelbase model) still leaves competitive second-row legroom with the third row shoehorned in. Third-row legroom, meanwhile, is comparable to that in a standard-wheelbase Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes-Benz GLS. Only the Lincoln Navigator offers substantially more legroom in that row. Power-folding seats with buttons conveniently placed near the doors’ strike plates make accessing the third row easy.

With the third row in place, cargo space is limited to 212 litres—less than most other three-row full-size SUVs. Cargo space with the third and second rows folded also trails most of the competition but still measures at a respectable 857 litres and 2,050 litres, respectively. A split tailgate also makes loading and unloading cargo easier, as does the air suspension, which allows the Range Rover to kneel like a bus. Power operation is standard and comes with gesture control on Range Rover Autobiography and SV models.

Three-zone automatic climate control is standard, while four-zone climate controls, power window shades, and a cabin air purifier are available with the Comfort Pack on SE models and as standard equipment on higher trim levels.

The Range Rover can tow up to 3,720 kilograms (8,200 pounds), which is right within expectations for this segment. This unibody Land Rover is right up there with the body-on-frame Escalade, Navigator, and Lexus LX, all of which share DNA with pickup trucks.

All 2025 Range Rover models come standard with a 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster and 13.1-inch touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard as well, while a 35-speaker Meridian audio system with active noise cancellation is available on Autobiography and SV models. Land Rover has discontinued the Activity Key, a bracelet that served as a more rugged key fob, and the brand doesn’t offer phone-as-a-key connectivity like some other brands.

Land Rover’s Pivi Pro infotainment system has gradually improved to achieve reliable functionality, but the physical interface is an unfortunate case of form over function. The touchscreen is nicely integrated with the dashboard, but the lack of buttons and knobs needed to achieve the dashboard’s minimalist aesthetic means it’s overburdened.

Icons for temperature, audio volume, and drive modes are prominently placed, but they’re still more difficult to use than physical controls. There are some controls on the steering wheel, but it’s hard to figure out how to reconfigure them for anything other than default settings. Thankfully, the gauge-cluster display is crisp and easy to read and features both a map view and a three-way split of a map, speed readout, and radio station information. However, drivers will still find themselves taking turns on the touchscreen with a front-seat passenger quite frequently.

Helping to cut through some of this confusion is Land Rover’s natural-language voice recognition system, which can reliably set different SiriusXM satellite radio stations and change the temperature. Other luxury brands offer similar tech, but it’s especially important for Land Rover because of how few other options exist in the Range Rover cabin.

Standard driver assistance features include: automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, a driver attention monitor, adaptive cruise control with steering assist, front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera system. Land Rover doesn’t offer anything more sophisticated—nothing like the Super Cruise or BlueCruise systems available on the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, certainly—but at least everything that is on offer is standard.

The driver aids worked as expected, and a standard surround-view camera system is very helpful in a vehicle of this size, whether on-road or off. But the camera view often didn’t appear automatically when needed, necessitating a few pokes at the touchscreen. That and the Range Rover’s overly sensitive parking aids made parking a bit more of a process than it needed to be. Crash-test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) were not available at the time of writing.

The Range Rover’s base turbo-six powertrain achieves Natural Resources Canada-rated fuel economy of 11.7 litres per 100 kilometres combined, while V8 models are rated at 12.6 L/100 km combined with the short wheelbase and 13.2 L/100 km with the long wheelbase in standard tune and 13.2 L/100 km combined regardless of wheelbase in more-powerful SV spec. The Range Rover’s saving grace in efficiency is the available plug-in hybrid powertrain, which offers 85 kilometres of electric range.

Land Rover includes a four-year/80,000-kilometre new vehicle limited warranty and four-year/80,000-kilometre roadside assistance coverage. Competitor brands offer similar coverage.

Base prices start at $130,400 for a standard-wheelbase Range Rover SE model (not including the $2,790 destination charge or other fees) and go up to $267,950 for the long-wheelbase Range Rover SV grade. That’s quite a range (no pun intended), and within it there are plenty of options. Our seven-seat SE test car has a Canadian base price of $159,000.

Even among full-size luxury SUVs, the Range Rover is not a value play, and the desirability of the nameplate means it doesn’t have to be. The Range Rover’s combination of off-road capability and on-road poise also justifies its price. It’s much more refined and luxurious than the already-polished BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS, and makes the truck-like Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, Lexus LX, and Infiniti QX80 feel primitive by comparison. Decades after it changed the SUV game, there’s still nothing like a Range Rover.
