2024 Land Rover Range Rover
Starting at $108.875

Highs Looks like money, polished and posh interior, plenty of powertrain options.
Lows Priced for the gods, plugin hybrid limited to Autobiography trim, thirdrow space is tight.
Verdict Comfortable enough for a crosscontinent tour and rugged enough for a trail ride, the Range Rover is a jackofalltrades SUV with a price tag to match.

The Range Rover has been the SUV of choice for celebrities and wealthy elites for decades, but even though it pampers its passengers like a luxury car it still offers offroad capability that means it can venture well off the red carpet. All models come with allwheel drive, an adjustable air suspension, and plenty of ground clearance. You can choose between inlinesix, pluginhybrid, and V8 powertrains. You can also deck the Range Rover out with all manner of luxury features, including massaging seats in both rows, rear bucket seats, powerdeployable rearseat tray tables, and a beverage chiller. No matter which version you choose you'll pay a sixfigure price, which means the Range Rover automatically costs more than entrylevel versions of rivals such as the Cadillac Escalade, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and the MercedesBenz GLSclass. But it's exactly all of this obvious extravagance that attracts the Range Rover's imageobsessed buyers, and after sampling several variants of this latest generation of the luxury SUV, we can see why.

What's New for 2024?
It's still early in the Range Rover's fifth generation, but already Land Rover has tweaked the powertrain lineup for 2024. The pluginhybrid P440e has been replaced with a more powerful P550e which makes 542 horsepower. P400 and P530 models see no changes to their horsepower ratings, but the topspec SV model is now powered by a 606hp V8 engine that wears the P615 moniker. Elsewhere, Land Rover has introduced a new customization service called SV Bespoke which provides buyers more opportunities for personalization when building their dream Range Rover.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
P400 SE: $108,875
P530 SE: $131,750
P550e Autobiography: $142,575
P530 Autobiography: $167,750
P615 SV: $210,475

We'd recommend opting for the midrange Autobiography model, which adds several soughtafter items that luxury buyers will appreciate. For example, the Autobiography comes standard with a 1600watt Meridian stereo system featuring headrestmounted speakers and active noise cancellation. The Range Rover will be offered in both short and longwheelbase body styles, and we suggest going for the latter since it creates room for a third row of seats and provides a more generous cargo area.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The Range Rover is available with a quartet of powertrains, starting with a turbocharged inlinesix with a 48volt hybrid system dubbed P400 that develops 395 horsepower. During our initial test drive, it proved to be silkysmooth and provided adequate pep to tug the large Range Rover around. A 523hp twinturbo 4.4liter V8 engine—Land Rover calls it P530—is even perkier and cranks up the Range Rover's towing capacity to 8200 pounds. At our test track, the P530 hustled the Range Rover to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds; the P400 did it in 5.5 seconds. A 542hp plugin hybrid option—called P550e—is also available but only on the short wheelbase Autobiography trim, and the rangetopping SV comes with a 606hp V8 called P615. Our longwheelbase P400 test vehicle managed to hit 60 mph in a fairly brisk 5.5 seconds while the shortwheelbase P530 we tested did it in just 4.3 seconds. The Range Rover's ride is suitably plush and, with its adjustable air suspension set to Comfort mode, it virtually floats down the road. Turning the dial to Dynamic mode firms things up some, but the big Rover still aims for a comfortfirst mission.
