The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover is the pinnacle of SUVs.
Pros Astounding capability regardless of terrain Exceptional on-road ride and handling Impressive engine lineup As comfortable as any vehicle anywhere
Cons Dual touchscreens’ learning curve Eye-watering price Design is beginning to show its age Great off-road, but so rare to see a dirty one
The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover ranked #4 in Luxury Large SUVs. Currently the Land Rover Range Rover has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 36 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Legendary off-road ability Cushioned ride Roomy, posh cabin Powerful engines
Cons Cumbersome infotainment system Less cargo space than competitors High price
For 2018, a number of minor design tweaks have been made to the exterior and interior. Most notably the interior ditches a lot of knobs and buttons in favor of a second touchscreen. New, top-of-the-line seats are available, and the SVAutobiography Dynamic trim gets a slight bump in horsepower.
PROS Excellent balance of off-road ability and luxury A wealth of interior and exterior options for customizing Long-wheelbase variant provides additional rear legroom Available with a diesel engine
CONS Standard engine's modest power may disappoint Capability means compromise, and highway steering may be too heavy for some Large wheels can bring vibration and noise into the cabin at highway speeds
Genuinely capable 4x4 can seat seven and tow big loads.
PROS Tough, rugged and reliable workhorse Far better than previous model Huge boot in five-seat mode Seven-seat version available CONS Ride can be choppy Not much engine/gearbox choice Relatively unknown brand Low fuel economy and high tax
The Rexton is a well-priced SUV that has a lot of boot space for the money and can carry seven people. Reviews are fairly poor though since it’s not good to drive, noisy and has a dull image. It is one of the cheapest ways to move large loads and more people than usual however, so if you’re in that market then it’s worth a look.
Pros Good off-road Practical Long warranty
Cons Poor ride Noisy Outdated
The Rexton’s four-wheel drive system spends most of its life driving the rear wheels only, diverting power to the front when conditions get more slippery. In most of the cars sold in the UK it will be controlled through a Mercedes-sourced seven-speed automatic transmission - but a six-speed manual is likely to be offered on entry-level editions. The dashboard has a clean look - again, with some cues from the Tivoli - but cross-stitched material panels and Nappa leather add a touch of luxury. The equipment on offer will include dual-zone climate control, a powered rear tailgate that opens automatically when the keyholder has been standing behind it for three seconds, and a new level of safety kit for SsangYong, including nine airbags and rear cross-traffic alert.
