How it scores for you10 scores
Genuine 8,200-lb towing, real off-road ability and three usable rows in one plush package - budget heavily for fuel, depreciation and Land Rover upkeep.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years; 4 of its 17 recalls were serious. About 5% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -10 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,650 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 10% of cars we track.
9.1 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the SUVs we track.
Full-size three-row cabin with usable adult space in all rows - one of its core strengths.
Strong engines and impressive off-road poise, but on pavement it is heavy, softly sprung and aimed at comfort, not agility.
Early InControl systems were slow; later Pivi Pro is much better. Mid-pack overall across the generation.
Air suspension and a quiet, plush cabin make it a genuinely comfortable long-distance family hauler.
Luxury brands like Land Rover tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 8,201 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
