Is the Range Rover still the benchmark full-sized luxury sport utility vehicle?

The improved fourth generation Range Rover is more efficient, better connected and smarter inside. Jonathan Crouch looks at what's on offer.
So many cars claim to be unique but the Range Rover really is, continuing to set the standard in the super-luxury SUV sector. This improved MK4 model gets the option of petrol/electric Plug-in hybrid power for the very first time and all variants get a redesigned cabin with a more intuitive 'Touch Pro Duo' infotainment system. Otherwise, things are much as before, this aluminium-bodied luxury SUV good enough to properly combine the imperious qualities of a top luxury saloon with off piste abilities that would be limited only by the skills of its driver. A Rolls Royce in the rough, there's nothing quite like it.

[@mikeb53]

That rear diff lock you speak of is pretty handy if you go off tarmac too. Doubles up nicely! And it works in high or low range, with, or without, the center differential lock too. Driving a LR from the past 3 or 4 years off road is so easy... its just effortless. In many ways LR have took all the stress out of off tarmac driving.

[@censura1210]

guys, I assure you it's impossible to really understand the reviews unless you're sitting on a range rover and really feel it. once you feel it in person it becomes and addiction. it offers full control and superior power and comfort. it's just unmatchable and one day soon it's going to be mine.

Too bad the long wheel base doesn't come with Diesel....just suicidal to buy the non-diesel version....unless you don't mind constant gas purchases and more frequent trips for mechanical issues...as Diesel also requires less maintenance since peak speed is reached at less than 2K RPM....relieving the stress on engines.

[@dendemano]

The capabilities of this vehicle that are never used by 90% of owners, makes this one of the most over engineered tools I can think of. Why not produce it without any off road functionality, as it’s driving position and looks are the main selling points.

Looks great... unfortunately in four years, shit.. three years it isn't worth much more than a boat anchor... I bought an "off lease " rover 3.5 yrs prior it was purchased for 134,000.00. I bought it for 32. Love to do a hidden camera show just watching the owners freak out when they realize you've lost at least 60,000.00 ouch.

[@galret9899]

Here in the USA, the depreciation on these is about the same or slightly better (lower) than the competition.

[@Horizon301.]

If you want a new car, you have little choice. Depreciation is a problem hence they cost double what a 7 series would for example to lease or finance. However, they in general cost a lot even used given their high price to begin with that puts it in Bentley territory

[@bricktop.]

Our boss paid £125,000 for his vogue range rover, traded in for £30,000 in January. Like he says, if you can afford these cars you don't care about depreciation.

Steve Price just saying, one would rarely set their sites on a Range Rover in the price range of an X5 of its new, most range rivers end up at £100,000 and the X5 is like £60,000. There is the X7 at that higher price point but still, the vogue will cost more thus its more so in the region of the bentayga also. I don’t think most owners care about reliability, most of them that you ask seem to just love them anyway

[@steveprice638]

@@Horizon301. ah, I see what you mean. Yes, my X5 was 65k. The 9 month old Range Rover I looked at was about the same. I agree that people love them and they are superb off-roaders, but I don't share your view that their owners are not concerned about reliability...no point in being able to get to the back of beyond if you can't get back again, and they ARE unreliable in comparison to most German and Japanese cars. What is worse, many of the issues are not always mechanical....wiring looms, lights, electric windows....things that really should not be a problem at 100k.
