How Many Versions of the Land Rover Range Rover Are There?

[PresleyAnn]

The Land Rover Range Rover has 4 versions, namely the US, Canadian, European, and Middle Eastern models. Taking the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4371mm, width 1904mm, height 1649mm, wheelbase 2681mm, fuel tank capacity 67 liters, and tire specification 235/50R20. The 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum power of 183 kW, maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, maximum torque of 365 Nm, and maximum torque speed ranging from 1300 to 4500 rpm. Its drivetrain is front-engine four-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.

As a long-time fan who has followed this model for over a decade, I remember the Land Rover Range Rover is mainly divided into these generations: The first generation started in the 1970s with its classic boxy design, the second generation in 1994 introduced smoother lines and air suspension for the first time, the third generation in 2003 adopted an all-aluminum body that reduced weight by over 400 kg, the most familiar fourth generation launched in 2012 and remains till now, and the current model belongs to the fifth generation. Each generation also comes in standard and long wheelbase versions, with powertrains ranging from the original V8 to the current 3.0T six-cylinder hybrid. Special editions like the SV Autobiography use BMW's 4.4T engine, and the off-road Defender-style appearance package is very cool, while the extended SV L7 version features lie-flat rear seats. Recently, a plug-in hybrid version was also introduced, offering a practical 100 km pure electric range.

Examining the current lineup, the Range Rover offers four core configurations: the standard wheelbase comes with P360/P400 power outputs; the long wheelbase version provides 18cm more legroom; the 7-seater model, though slightly cramped in the third row, is practical for emergencies; the top-tier SV version features 22-inch wheels with semi-aniline leather interiors. Power comes standard with a 3.0T+48V mild hybrid, with plug-in hybrid or 4.4T V8 options available. Note that the most off-road-capable Exemplar edition comes standard with rear-wheel steering and second-generation Terrain Response, boasting a wading depth of 900mm. Limited editions like last year's Homage edition feature special badges, but the 200,000 RMB premium isn't quite justified.

The luxury equipment differences are quite straightforward: the entry-level version comes standard with Windsor leather seats and a Meridian sound system; the Genesis edition adds diamond-quilted seats and soft-close doors; the SV version features ceramic knobs and custom paint. On the options list, the four-wheel steering system makes the 5-meter-long body turn as nimbly as a compact car, the onboard fridge can chill four bottles of champagne, and the infrared thermal imaging night vision system is a lifesaver in foggy conditions. Personally, I find the adjustable panoramic sunroof the most practical—it instantly turns into frosted glass under strong sunlight.

The modification scene generally falls into three categories: OEM SV departments offer carbon fiber hoods and orange brake calipers; third-party companies like Overfinch provide wide-body kits; practical enthusiasts recommend installing factory-approved tow packages and roof racks. One off-roading friend upgraded his standard model with all-terrain tires and a 2-inch lift kit, making traversing Alxa a breeze. Note that installing electric running boards may void the warranty, and aftermarket digital keys are prone to freezing.

In the used car market, the common fourth-generation models from 2012-2021 come with 3.0T diesel and 5.0T gasoline versions. For the 2012-14 models, be aware of the higher failure rate of air suspensions—replacing them with original parts costs over 30,000 RMB. After the 2017 facelift, they got new LCD dashboards but suffer from infotainment system lag. The 2019 models with optional Apple CarPlay are recommended. Currently, well-maintained 2016 HSE models can be snagged for around 500,000 RMB, saving you nearly a million compared to new ones. Key inspection points include chassis bushings and transfer case fluids. Be mentally prepared for minor electronic quirks—typical of British cars.
