Land Rover SUVs Discover the Land Rover SUV range and compare new, used and leasing deals

Land Rover isn’t quite the originator of the SUV — that would be Jeep — but it’s probably the company most associated with chunky off-roaders. Everything it makes is a tall SUV (even the front-wheel drive models…) and most are designed to head seriously far off-road into the wilds.

Land Rover SUV models: current range

Land Rover has been moving steadily upmarket over the past decade, with only the Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque being considered as affordable. 

Land Rover Discovery Sport

Discovery Sport is currently Land Rover’s oldest model (indeed, bits of it date back to the 2007 Ford Mondeo…) but while its sales success may have dimmed, the Disco Sport is still a good choice, thanks to handsome looks, seven seats, and a frugal plug-in hybrid engine. It’s just a shame that you can’t have seven seats AND a plug-in hybrid. 

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

The smallest and once-most stylish Range Rover is closely related to the Discovery Sport under the skin. It’s sexier up top, though, with swoopier bodywork, and the Evoque is quite good to drive, even if you can sense its ageing underpinnings. 

Land Rover Range Rover Velar

The Velar is the Land Rover that everyone forgets about, slotting into the Range Rover lineup between the small Evoque and the bigger Range Rover Sport. It’s handsome and good to drive (as well as impressive off-road) but it’s not as roomy as it could be, and it’s not cheap.

Land Rover Defender 90

Land Rover’s re-invented Defender is a modern design classic, and looks great in stunted three-door 90 form. Get it with a full-length canvas sunroof for that intrepid 1950s feel, but you have to make the choice between carrying people or carrying luggage as the back is cramped for something this big.

Land Rover Defender 110

The mid-size 110 is the default Defender choice, offering either seats for seven, or a very frugal plug-in hybrid P400e model that’s not available in the 90 or 130. The 110 is good looking, has a terrific cabin layout and design, and it’s great to drive, but it’s massive in town and reliability is not great.

Land Rover Defender 130

The 130 is the longest Defender, a full foot longer than a 110, and actually has seats for up to eight, although you’ll be cramped if you fill every seat with adults and there won’t be much boot space left. V8 power is fun, but you can’t have a plug-in hybrid. 

Land Rover Discovery

The Discovery, once Land Rover’s strongest seller, has been sidelined of late by the resurgent Defender and the Range Rovers. It’s not helped by awkward styling, but the interior is massive, spacious, and comfortable, and the Discovery is smooth on-road, and capable off it. 

Land Rover Range Rover

The Range Rover isn’t a mere SUV — it’s an icon of luxury motoring, as comfortable and capable swishing up outside The Dorchester as it is crossing rural Dorset without needing any tarmac. It’s massive, costs six figures at minimum, and some of the cabin is surprisingly cheap, but even in a world where Rolls-Royce and Bentley make SUVs, the Range Rover still sets the standard.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport

For those who want something slightly smaller and sportier to drive than the Range Rover — or who just want to look like a Premiership footballer — there’s the Range Rover Sport. Once a distinct model, now more of a junior Rangie, it’s sharper to drive thanks to altered suspension, but lacks the classiness of its big brother.
