2003 Land Rover Range Rover Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The Range Rover was completely redesigned for 2003. This overhaul marked the beginning of the upscale SUV's third generation, even though this was the 34th year of production. Almost everything is new, as Land Rover has put greater emphasis on ride quality and user friendliness.
Only one style is offered: the HSE. The interior has been completely redesigned for additional space and a more luxurious environment. Yet, some traditional Land Rover styling cues remain. Skid plates, Xenon headlights, descent control, stability control, 19-inch wheels, three-zone climate control (front and rear), and power retractable side mirrors are all new features this year. Amenities include leather upholstery, a harmon/kardon audio system, CD changer, a navigation system (with off-road mapping), walnut trim, a moon roof, keyless entry, heated mirrors and an anti-theft system.
Although Land Rover is now owned by Ford, this new third generation model was developed while the British marque was under BMW's control. The German automaker supplied the new engine, which replaced an antiquated 4.6 liter V-8. The new 4.4 liter V-8 offers a significant power upgrade, with 282 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. Range Rover's towing capacity jumped from 6500 to 7700 pounds with this addition, and fuel economy also improved slightly, up from 12/15 to 12/17 mpg. The BMW-engineered V-8 is paired with a five-speed automatic, also new this year.
BMW engineering is also evidence in the new Range Rover's improved ride quality. Previous design elements like solid axle suspension and body-on-frame construction were discontinued. The new model gets uni-body construction and four-wheel independent suspension. The height-adjustable air suspension system returns, allowing drivers nearly 11 inches of ground clearance.
The new Range Rover has been well-reviewed with ride and interior quality listed as two common favorite features. Mechanical issues and reliability complaints have reduced dramatically since 2002, but some electrical problems have been reported. Many deal with the navigation system, which seemed to be more reliable off-road than on the streets. The Range Rover offers the same luxury and off-road capability as always, but now with a more inviting interior, improved build quality, an a noticeably refined feel. "Enjoyable to drive" has become a common accolade in 2003. Few would made such claim before.

Dependability at its best, comfortable luxury, style is complete, I have owed a lot of vehicles and this vehicle is most defiantly in the top ten of all vehicles owned, I would recommend people to take a test drive in a Rover before judging one negativitalyJan 12, 2014

I like the look and the handling most of all. It's also a great feeling when you arrive and everyone is looking at the Rover.
Traveling on long trips are great too. Windows up or windows down, it's a great ride. And guess what? Off roading is fun too. Switch from the regular road to the dirt. This truck does it all. And does it well. Sep 15, 2011

What can I say... I love this vehicle. This was my second Rangie and a much better one than previous model. It is just the king of the hill and road, in my opinion. I would always prefer this to a luxury Mercedes, BMW, Lexus etc...
It has a great outdoor image which an S-class type car does not have. It carries all our luggage and boxes around in style and comfort and I went off road in some serious terrain with no sweat whatsoever. The best... and I want to have a 2010 model soon..Jul 06, 2009

Solid 4 by 4 to drive in any weather both off and on road. Maintainance comes with a heavy price, so avoid it if you have'nt got loose spare money to throw around bot it would serve you for a very long time.Apr 01, 2008

The best all round 4x4 you could want, the original 4x4 in fact. Better looking than the Cayenne-the environment in which you sit is more attractive as well as generally being more attractive. The interior package with all the gizmos is great and probably better than the Cayenne. Which is the better to drive on the road-the Cayenne. Which would I prefer to have-neither. Like I say-these things aren't cars, their machines to get you from A to B with as much stuff as you can cram in them-over whatever road service you want to drive over.Mar 16, 2008

What users have asked
Engine
Does anybody know where does the V8 engine of this model come from. I know it was designed while owned by BMW but it went out during the Ford ownership, therefore I am hesitating between the BMW V8 and the Jaguar V8. The dealership where I want to buy it claims it is a 4.4L and I believe the Jaguar engine is a 4.2 (same as Range Sport). So if anybody has a definitive answer I would appreciate it. Thanks.
