2001 Land Rover Range Rover Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
For 2001, the base County and top tier Vitesse trims have been discontinued, while the SE and HSE remain. The larger V-8 now comes standard on both models. The Vitesse's standard navigation system is transferred to the HSE, and it is now an option for the lower level SE.
The 4.0 liter V-8 engine has been dropped for 2001. Both the SE and HSE house the 4.6 liter V-8, which produces 222 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. The Range Rover will tow 6500 pounds and achieve 12/15 mpg fuel economy. The rear seats fold flat in both models, allowing for 58 cubic feet of cargo space.
The SE and HSE are similarly equipped, each coming standard with convenience and luxury items like steering wheel audio controls, dual-zone automatic climate control, power front seats with memory, keyless entry, full power accessories, a moon roof, a premium harmon/kardon audio system with a CD changer and heated mirrors. The HSE is now only distinguished a few features and appearance upgrades.
The main caveat from Range Rover owners is maintenance costs, and be assured, they will occur. A 15,000 mile checkup is a guarantee, and that costs over $1000. Common problems include transmission flaws, interior degradation, fluid leaks, and of course, electrical problems. Maintenance issues aside, Land Rover pioneered this once unique luxury SUV, and the name still means a lot. The Range Rover is unmatched off road, and interior amenities are comparable with the finest European luxury cars.

I love the uniqueness of the Range Rover along with the style and luxury without sacrificing the rugged capabilites. Simple, understated class and refinement keeps it from being a bling machine like the Escalade or explorer.
The occasional gremlins that pop up can drive you crazy. If you can't figure out how to solve them yourself they can dig deep into your pocket book at the dealership.Jun 14, 2013

The truck never stops impressing me or the people that have to see the nice shiny chrome tipped exhaust. Its already becoming a classic. Great sound when you floor it, engine really shows its BMW roots at high rpms. All around, gas kind of sucks but that depend how you drive. But anyways its a great nice looking truck Mar 12, 2013

Solid truck for what I paid. $10k in 2009 with 60k miles. Overall it maintenance has been low. Air shocks make the ride smooth but handling is sub par. Fuel economy sucks, but a buyer should know that going in. Overall it has been a good vehicle for me.Feb 05, 2013

Den er sindsygt behagelig at køre i men det er også derfor jeg har købt den ved det faktum at den er mit rullende kontor. Den er jo ikke ligefrem sindsygt smuk og den er temmelig dyr at kører i samt reparerer på, så hvis det ikke var fordi den er så lækker at køre i og jeg kan komme frem overalt, havde jeg nok skilt mig af med den forlængst, for ikke at sige at så havde jeg nok slet ikke købt den.Jul 15, 2009

If you can afford to run one, Spoil yourself, 4.6 is hugely powerful on and off road, gear change is smooth and kick down in sport is superb, huge comfy armchairs to waft round and lord it over lesser mortals, Loads of space inside and an unrivalled view. Harmon Kardon sound system as standard on HSE is excellent. Power everything, Memory seats programme to your keyfob, Dual zone climate control is brilliant keeping the cabin cool or warm silently. driving is effortless with the auto a must have on any Range Rover. Parts are readily available as there is a huge following for these 4x4's...dont bother with the 2.5DHSE as its just too slow take the petrol 4.6 every time...Awesome car to own and drive. My 3rd HSE over the years, and Im replacing this one with a newer one soon.May 12, 2009

As any 1 reading this shud no the Range Rover was the luxury car of its day,wiv a price tag of £55,000+ It was sublime both on road & off.Performance not great but at 2ton wot do u expect,Build quality of early models was susspect 2 say the least but the late MK2`s were sorted & wiv the £2000 Harmon/Kardon sound system(NUFF-SED) Appearance is a love or hate but if u like 2 feel safe in a car there rnt many that do the job better,Interior is immaculate.Cost of owner ship,if u need 2 ask then dont buy 1.Fun Factor-If u like 2 feel special in ur vehicle there rnt many that do it better than the Rangey.Yes i wud recomend 1 to a friend but take ur time wen choosing as there are sum Ruff-arse 1`s out there.Apr 26, 2009

I loved the Range Rover that I had when I used to be in AbuDhabi, UAE. Range Rover is an excellent SUV with a magestic air around it.
The vehicle is a lill clumsy ( rolls like the cadillacs ) but that adds to its character. I liked the air suspension and the overall riding comfort.
The best part of any range rover SUV is the way you'd be seated in it. You will be seated very very high, and you would have an excellent 'view' of the outside world.
I guess I will come back to write more about this car.Jul 17, 2008
