Reviews SummaryFew automotive nameplates carry the star power of the Land Rover Range Rover. Arguably the first luxury SUV, it blazed a trail for high-end utility vehicles like the Lexus LX and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, and it now counts more suburb-oriented models like the BMW X7, Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX80, Lincoln Navigator, and Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class among its competition. Changes for 2025 are limited to some reshuffling of options. Verdict: The Range Rover excels in refinement, while offering competitive interior space and towing capacity. But its user interface remains a weak point. | |
