Used Range Rover for sale: everything you need to know

The Range Rover is an iconic SUV that was fully reinvented with an all-new model in 2022. When it comes to high end SUVs, Land Rover products still lead the way.

It is a high-end, luxurious 4x4 with a peerless image and absolute focus on refinement and wellbeing. It is now able to go head-to-head with pricier models such as the Bentley Bentayga – with top-end versions now bearing the price tags to match. Alongside petrol and diesel models, there are fuel-saving plug-in hybrids. A pure electric version is on the horizon, too. 

Rivals to the latest Range Rover include the capable BMW X7, the Mercedes-Benz GLS and the Volvo XC90.

For those looking to either buy or lease a new Range Rover, the model line-up offers a tempting array of choices. Take a look at a Range Rover for sale on heycar to discover just what’s on offer. 

Is the Range Rover a good car to buy? 

The latest Range Rover is a quite remarkable piece of engineering. It is exceptional to drive for starters, with brilliant refinement, a smooth and super-cushioned ride, and effortless performance by the bucketload, even in the entry-level 3.0-litre diesels. 

It’s a large car, more than five metres long and two metres wide, but it doesn’t feel cumbersome to drive. The steering is surprisingly sharp and precise, while handling is composed. You can even get it with four-wheel steering, which gives it a turning circle so tight, you’ll do a double-take the first time you experience it. 

Visually, it’s beautiful. The design team have distilled the Range Rover essentials into a striking piece of sculpture, with clean lines and a minimalist appearance. It’s less automotive design and more modern art. 

The interior has taken a step forward as well. Again, it’s been decluttered, with the new JLR Pivi Pro infotainment system taking centre-stage. It’s one of the best in the business, with a delectable curved glass screen. We also love the gorgeous seats, the elegant trim materials, and the sheer sense of peaceful wellbeing you get when travelling in a Range Rover. 

The straight-six petrol and diesel engines use mild-hybrid tech to help improve fuel efficiency. If you take things steady in a diesel, you can get almost 40mpg – it barely seems believable. The engines are distant and super-smooth, too. New plug-in hybrids have large batteries to give an amazing 70-mile pure electric range, while the new range-topping V8, sourced from BMW, is wonderful. 

It can still off-road like few others, too. So capable is it, you might almost find it boring. That’s until you try driving the same terrain in another vehicle – and, more likely than not, getting stuck. Even the new four-wheel steering comes into its own off-road, making light work of muddy hillside hairpins. 

We find it hard to fault the new Range Rover. Frankly, it does it all. It looks beautiful and has a marvellously welcoming interior that can be equipped with genuinely cutting-edge luxury tech. It’s faultless to drive, making every trip that bit more special. Switching to almost any car after driving a new Range Rover will feel like a step backwards. 

Of course, the new Range Rover isn’t cheap, with notable hikes in prices for those looking to buy or lease a new model. But if you have the means, you’ll almost certainly conclude it’s worth every penny. More than 50 years on from its original launch, the Range Rover remains a supremely capable machine. 

A Range Rover not for you? We've got 1000s of used cars for sale to suit all budgets and needs.

What’s the best used Range Rover model to buy?

If your commute or most of your journeys are short ones, you might want to consider the P400e plug-in hybrid version. It’s not too much more expensive to buy than the entry-level version, yet it has the ability to travel up to 25 miles on electric power alone, which could save you plenty of cash on fuel. There are some pretty tempting tax breaks, too, especially for company car drivers.

However, the engine we think will suit most folk is the entry-level diesel, the SDV6. It’s powerful enough to pull the car along with purpose, and it’s smooth, quiet and muscular, so it really suits the car. It’ll also provide you with the best balance of performance, economy and cost.

On the trim front, there isn’t much you’d want in a luxury car that the entry-level Vogue trim doesn’t give you. However, the step up to Vogue SE trim does earn you quite a bit of extra safety kit on top of a few more niceties, which is well worth having.

USed Range Rover fuel economy and performance 

• Range Rover 3.0-L D250 MHEV: The most affordable engine for the new Range Rover is the D250 diesel, which costs around £3,500 less than the cheapest petrol version. It doesn’t short-change those who buy or lease a new Range Rover though, as even this motor is a super-smooth 3.0-litre straight-six with mild hybrid tech. The 0-62mph time is only average, though, at 8.3 seconds. It averages 37.2mpg – as do all the mild hybrid diesels. 
• Range Rover 3.0-L D300 MHEV: This is a more powerful version of the Range Rover six-cylinder diesel, with a 300PS output cutting acceleration times significantly: it is capable of running from 0-62mph in 6.9 seconds, which is as fast as some hot hatchbacks, despite the Range Rover’s 2.5-tonne eight. 
• Range Rover 3.0-L D350 MHEV: The most powerful new Range Rover diesel has a 350PS version of the 3.0-litre straight-six turbodiesel engine. This has even more pulling power and accelerates from 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds. 
• Range Rover 3.0-L P360 MHEV: The petrol engine range opens with a 360PS version of Land Rover’s 3.0-litre straight-six turbo motor. Mild hybrid technology is again standard, 0-62mph takes 6.3 seconds and it averages just under 30mpg. 
• Range Rover 3.0-L P400 MHEV: The P400 MHEV has an extra 40PS, which cuts the 0-62mph time to less than 6.0 seconds. A 5.8-second dash for the benchmark acceleration sprint is an impressive achievement. 
• Range Rover 3.0-L P440e PHEV: The plug-in hybrid Range Rover once again uses a 3.0-litre straight-six turbo engine, this time with a healthy 38.2kWh battery. This gives a 70-mile pure electric range, ultra-low CO2 emissions and exciting acceleration, with 0-62mph for the P440e taking 6.0 seconds. Official fuel economy of more than 350mpg isn’t a given in everyday use. However, if you can keep it charged, you may barely use any fuel. 
• Range Rover 3.0-L P460e PHEV: Replacing the P440e in 2023, the P460e uses the same 3.0-litre straight-six turbo engine but has extra power, up to 460PS, and an increased 75-mile pure electric range. The 0-62mph time is down to 5.7 seconds.
• Range Rover 3.0-L P510e PHEV: The P510e PHEV boasts an exciting 510PS. It still offers a 70-mile pure electric range, but also cuts the 0-62mph time to 5.5 seconds. You will certainly be able to surprise sports cars away from the traffic lights. 
• Range Rover 3.0-L P550e PHEV: The P550e is the upgrade for for the P510e from 2023, with a 75-mile pure electric range, and a 0-62mph time down to 5.0 seconds. 
• Range Rover 4.4-L V8 P530: This V8-engined Range Rover uses a 4.4-litre turbo motor supplied by BMW. It is rich, smooth and sounds wonderful. Its 530PS also cuts 0-62mph to just 4.6 seconds, although the lack of any form of hybridisation means an average of less than 25mpg. Fuel bills will thus be significantly higher than most other Range Rovers.
• Range Rover 4.4-L V8 P615: This is the range-topping engine available in the sporty Range Rover SV. With 615PS it has a 0-62mph time of just 4.5 seconds, but the official fuel economy drops to just 24.1mpg.

What used Range Rover trims levels are available?

The latest Range Rover is offered in numerous luxurious trim lines, with the emphasis very much on the top end of the range. 

These are the models priced to compete with alternatives such as the Bentley Bentayga and even the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. And early orders suggest the top-end versions are where the most customer interest is from those looking to buy or lease a new Range Rover, too.

Buyers can also choose from either standard or long-wheelbase (LWB) Range Rovers, with a seven-seat version offered for the first time alongside the regular five-seater. 

• The Range Rover SE is the most affordable new Range Rover to buy or lease. It’s available with the core range of diesel and petrol engines, plus the plug-in hybrids. Even the Range Rover SE is offered in LWB guise as well, with either five or seven seats. 
• The Range Rover HSE adds more spec to the entry-level SE and is the core mid-spec model of the range. The same engine line-up is available, and you can again have it in LWB and seven-seat guises. 
• The Range Rover Autobiography is the more bespoke range-topper of the core range. This version introduces the option of the 4.4-litre turbo V8 petrol engine, and you can also pick a P400 mild hybrid petrol – both of which will likely prove popular in the United States. 
• The Range Rover First Edition is a bespoke version that was available for the first year of production. It can only be had with the top-end engines and boasts a specially-curated spec that includes custom-tailored colour and trim choices, plus ‘First Edition’ branding. 
• The Range Rover SV is the pinnacle of the Range Rover line-up. Created and built by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations, it offers even greater personalisation, exclusive materials and bespoke design themes. Land Rover says there are 1.6 million trim combinations available on the Range Rover SV. 

Used Range Rover dimensions and boot size

The Range Rover’s exterior dimensions are: 

• Length: 5052mm (LWB: 5252mm)
• Width: 2047mm
• Height: 1870mm
• Ground clearance: 295mm (PHEV: 284mm) 

The Range Rover’s boot size is:

• 725 litres (7-seater: 229 litres or 713 litres with third row folded)
• 2165 litres with rear seats folded (7-seater: 2175 litres)

Used Range Rover road tax

New car buyers will be stung for a first year tax bill of up to £2605 (except on the hybrid, which doesn't attract first-year tax) which will be rolled up into the on-the-road price of their car, so as a used buyer, be thankful that you’ve swerved that.

If your car was registered after April 1, 2017, the next five years will be paid at £570. That’s £180 as a flat rate for petrol and diesel cars, plus a £390 surcharge for the car costing more than £40,000 when it was new (as all Range Rovers did). After year six, it’ll drop to the £180 flat rate. 

If your car was registered before that, you’ll pay depending on your car’s CO2 emissions, which is likely to be north of £600 a year. Company car drivers will pay tax on 37% of the car’s value, which is extremely steep. Unless, of course, they choose the hybrid, which falls between 18% and 20%.

How much is to insure a Range Rover? 

Car insurance groups run from 1 to 50, and every new Range Rover falls into the highest and most expensive group 50 band. This means it will cost a lot to insure a new Range Rover, although it is no different to any of its rivals in this regard. And, goes the argument, if you can afford to buy or lease a new Range Rover, you should be able to afford the insurance.
