Thanks:
HIGHS
Very high levels of comfort, lots of engine and customization choices, opulent interior.
LOWS
Expensive even for its class, limited third-row space, disappointing gas-only PHEV efficiency.
VERDICT
Whether you’re headed to a luxury safari or school pick-up, the Range Rover will get you there in comfort and style.
There’s no shortage of off-road-capable SUVs, nor is there a lack of premium luxury SUVs. If you’re looking for an equal serving of both in one vehicle, however, the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover is a prime choice. Along with its stately exterior presence, the Range Rover starts with an opulent interior that only gets nicer with options. The ride quality is glassy smooth, making you forget how capable the big SUV is over challenging terrain. If you do venture into the wilderness, you don’t have to be an expert four-wheeler, as smart drive modes sort out the settings for you. All this rugged luxury will cost you, though—prices start above the six-figure mark. That’s up there with the Rover’s closest rival, the Mercedes-Benz G-class. As one of our favorites in its segment, the Land Rover Range Rover has also earned a spot on our Editors’ Choice list for 2025.
What’s New for 2025?
The standard-wheelbase (SWB) SE trim with the V-8 engine gets an upgraded Meridian surround sound system but loses the Dynamic Response Pro active roll control as standard equipment. The 550e plug-in-hybrid powertrain is now offered on the SWB body. PHEV models no longer offer the towing pack or 23-inch wheels, while PHEV Autobiography trims drop the tailgate seats and full-size spare as options. Elsewhere, lighted treadplates are standard on all models, the Activity Key bracelet has been discontinued, and the Perlino white headliner no longer covers the roof pillars.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover starts at $109.725 and goes up to $210.825 depending on the trim and options.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Range Rover is available with a quartet of powertrains, starting with a turbocharged inline-six with a 48-volt hybrid system dubbed P400 that develops 395 horsepower. During our initial test drive, it proved to be silky smooth and provided adequate pep to tug the large Range Rover around. A 523-hp twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine—Land Rover calls it P530—is even swifter and cranks up the Range Rover’s towing capacity to 8200 pounds. A 542-hp plug-in-hybrid option—called P550e—is also available but only on the short-wheelbase models, and the range-topping SV comes with a 606-hp V-8 called P615. The Range Rover’s ride is suitably plush, and with its adjustable air suspension set to Comfort mode, it basically floats down the road. Turning the dial to Dynamic mode firms things up some, but the big Rover still aims for a comfort-first mission. And of course, serious off-road chops are standard.
0–60-MPH Times
At our test track, the V-8-powered P530 hustled the Range Rover SWB to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, while the long-wheelbase six-cylinder P400 did it in 5.5 seconds. We haven’t tested the plug-in-hybrid P550e, but Land Rover claims it will reach 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.
