2021 Land Rover Range Rover

The base 2021 Range Rover P360 is the same as the 2020 model without any changes. It comes powered by the familiar 3.0-liter inline-6 engine that produces 335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque. The SUV runs on standard 19-inch alloy wheels. There’s also an optional 20-inch wheel size available on special edition models. 

Which Trim should you buy?

Priced at $92,000, the 2021 Range Rover P360 is available with the same engine configuration as last year's model. You can add various packages to enhance and customize your Range Rover. We recommend adding the Driver Assist Package that comes at an additional cost of $4,790. This Package adds features like a surround camera system, blind spot assist, clear exit monitor, driver conditioning monitor.

The EPA-rated fuel economy figures remain the same for the 2021 Range Rover as the previous model year. As the engine remains unaltered, expect the fuel economy to remain similar. The SUV manages to return 18 MPG in the city, 23 MPG on the highway, and 20 MPG combined. In the city, the Rover’s fuel economy is pretty decent considering its size and weight. Also, on highways, the engine returns better mileage than its counterparts. 

With a 20-gallon fuel tank capacity, the Range Rover is capable of traveling up to 495 miles in the city and 632.5 miles on the highways. The Maserati Levante comes with a fuel tank capacity of 21.1 gallons, and with a full tank, the SUV goes 317 miles in the city and 443 miles on the highway. The Range Rover has literally impressed us with a larger fuel tank and driving range when compared to the rivals.

The interior doesn't see many changes from the previous model year. The Land Rover Range Rover interior is spacious and offers a three-color scheme. The SUV offers multiple interiors customization options including steering wheel upholstery, headlining, and finisher. The five-seater SUV offers an impressive front row and slightly limited legroom. However, the 31.7 cubic feet cargo space is best in class. 

Compared to the rivals, the Range Rovers offer an impressive cargo space. With the absence of a third row, such space was expected from the SUV. The SUV is wide enough to offer the best in-cabin space. The seats get premium cushioning that assures the best possible comfy to the driver and passengers going for a long trip. Some of the standard interior features of the 2021 Range Rover include:

• Heated and powered seats
• Leather upholstery
• Heated steering wheel
• Panoramic sunroof
• 3-zone automatic climate control air conditioning
• Ventilated seats
• Front and rear armrest
• Split rear seat

What’s there to keep you entertained?

The Land Rover Range Rover's infotainment has not seen any update in recent times. The dashboard still mounts two 10-inch touch screens that come installed with Touch Pro Duo infotainment software. One screen is just a conventional screen while the other screen consists of controls for the HVAC system. Music inside the SUV is carried out via a 13-speaker Meridian premium audio system offering good quality sound output with optimum bass. 

The bigger 12.3-inch screen is a high-definition Interactive Driver Display located just beside the steering wheel. This screen displays all vital information including speed, fuel range, navigation, and much more. The touchscreen is responsive but still looks dated compared to the infotainments of rival cars. Some of the infotainment features of the 2021 Range Rover are:

• A 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system
• Smartphone Pack with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Intelligent Voice recognition
• SiriusXM AM/FM/HD/Satellite with seek-scan
• Rear seat entertainment system with wireless headphones and Multi-device connectivity
• Pro Services for Navigation and real-time traffic updates
• Meridian Sound system
• Multi-source rear audio controls
• Stand-alone navigation mirroring app
• Real-time weather display
• Steering wheel mounted audio controls
• Head-up display

The Land Rover Range Rover exterior reflects a bold attire with too much attention to detail. Despite having a boxy kind of design, the SUV has kept itself subtle among its competitors. The front fascia gets automatic LED headlamps with LED DRLs, a large Range Rover embossed on the hood, a grille with chrome inserts, a skid plate, and air dampers. Comparatively, the SUV is wide enough to also make enough space inside. 

Moving towards the side showcase massive 19-inch alloy wheels with five-spoke and steel accents. The side displays a bit of muscular character of the car which goes toward the rear. All the pillars are blacked-out, making the Range Rover distinctive. The LED taillamps in the ear with the chrome-lined trunk are impressive. You'll find a bold dual-exhaust setup and a rear spoiler with a shark fin antenna.

With a wheelbase of 115 inches, Range Rover offers a decent profile being a luxury SUV. However, rivals like Navigator and LX 570 offer better wheelbase at 122.2 inches and 122.2 inches, respectively. The 8.7 inches ground clearance for the Range Rover is also standard and that allows it to get through some of the difficult terrains. The rest of the job is done by the 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels. Some of the notable exterior features of the 2021 Range Rover are:

• Automatic LED headlights with LED DRLs
• 19" alloy wheels
• Optional 20", 21", and 22" alloy wheels
• 30 exterior colors
• Heated and powered side mirrors
• Panoramic sunroof
• LED taillights
• Black contrast roof
• Automatic wipers
• Automatic tailgate opening

The crash testing agencies are quite reluctant in testing high-end luxury vehicles. The same case is with the 2021 Range Rover. Neither the NHTSA nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has safety-tested the Land Rover Range Rover. We believe that the SUV would excel in the crash tests as it is offered some advanced active and passive safety features. The SUV comes loaded with some advanced safety features like a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assist. Some of the notable safety features are:

• Automated Emergency Braking
• Forward Collision Warning
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Warning
• Front and Rear Parking Assistance
• Cruise Control
• Blind Spot Monitor
• ABS with EBD
• Traction Control
• Stability Control

The Navigator gets some decent interior features and equipment. Also, comparing the performance of both the SUVs, the Lincoln Navigator offers a better acceleration from its twin-turbo V6 motor. However, when we talk about interior comfort and luxury, the Range Rover shines in this area. There's an array of special edition and customization options available in the Range Rover than the Lincoln Navigator.

2021 Land Rover Range Rover vs. 2021 Lexus LX 570

The Lexus LX 570 offers better reliability ratings compared to the 2021 Range Rover. The LX 570 also comes with three-row seating, so we can expect enough space compared to the Range Rover. The Land Rover offers a more engaging drive experience and off-road ability. With an array of customization options available. The Range Rover feels like the right pick. 

2021 Land Rover Range Rover vs. 2021 Maserati Levante S GranLusso

The Maserati Levante S GranLusso is priced slightly higher than the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover. The cost difference is around $1500. With its 3-0-liter Twin-turbo V6, the Maserati produces a whopping 424 horsepower along with 428 lb-ft of torque. The Maserati gets an excellent aerodynamic design and aesthetics. It also offers an impressive acceleration of 5.2 seconds while the Range Rover manages to sprint 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds. The Maserati offers a more engaging drive dynamics while the Range Rover manages to put interior comfort and customization forward.

The interior is comfy and spacious but the tech needs an immediate revamp as the infotainment might disappoint. Otherwise, the SUV is great for long trips with decent fuel economy and performance.
