Used Land Rover cars buying guide
Land Rover is a British car brand known for blending off-road excellence with luxury. You’ll find lots of used Land Rover cars for sale, from smaller models like the Range Rover Evoque and family SUVs like the Discovery Sport to off-road machines like the Defender and up-market all-rounders like the Range Rover.
Land Rover has a reputation for comfort and top off-road technology. Most of its cars are powered by petrol or diesel engines, but in recent years the company has offered more electrified options that promise lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Several models are available as plug-in hybrids and many new Land Rovers have mild-hybrid technology. All-electric models are due to be introduced in 2024.
Which used Land Rover cars are for sale?
You’ll find a wide variety of used Land Rover cars for sale. While no Land Rovers are particularly small, the more compact models are the Range Rover Evoque and the shortest version of the Defender, which is called the Defender 90.
Larger models include the Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Velar, as well as the mid-range Defender model, called the Defender 110. Then there are the really big ones – the Discovery, the Range Rover Sport, the Defender 130 and the Range Rover, which is also available in an even longer-wheelbase version.
Are there any hybrid or electric Land Rover models?
There are no pure electric Land Rovers yet, but they’re coming – an all-electric Range Rover is expected in 2024. Most new Land Rovers have mild-hybrid technology alongside their diesel or petrol engines to help reduce emissions.
There are many plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models available – the Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport PHEV models have particularly impressive electric-only ranges of up to 74 miles with a fully charged battery, according to official figures. There are also plug-in versions of the Range Rover Velar, the Range Rover Evoque, the Discovery Sport and the Defender, with battery ranges of between 31 and 40 miles depending on the model.
What are the most popular Land Rover models?
Range Rover Evoque
The Range Rover Evoque is Land Rover’s smallest model. It’s also the most popular. It’s comfortable, good to drive on-road and, in four-wheel-drive form, probably the most capable off-road car of this size that you can buy. Front-wheel-drive models are also available.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a mid-size SUV that makes a great family car. It’s slightly larger than the Range Rover Evoque although it’s shorter than two of its key rivals – those being the Audi A5 and BMW X3. All versions are roomy and well-equipped and most (though not all) have four-wheel drive.
Land Rover Range Rover Velar
The Range Rover Velar is the sleekest model Land Rover makes, with a less-boxy shape. Slotting into the size gap between the smaller Range Rover Evoque and the larger Range Rover Sport, it’s easily big enough to be a family car and, as you’d expect, it’s excellent off-road.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport
The Range Rover Sport is a big SUV that’s a rival for cars such as the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. While some versions are sporty, it’s essentially a slightly smaller, less-expensive version of the full-size Range Rover. It’s powerful and packed with features and you’ll find used versions for sale with either five or seven seats.
Land Rover Discovery
The Land Rover Discovery is a great all-rounder, with lots of comfort and space, excellent off-road performance and strong towing performance. It has a luxurious seven-seat interior and you have a choice of smooth and powerful petrol and diesel engines, as well as the option of air suspension for an even more comfortable ride.
Which Land Rover models are SUVs?
All Land Rovers are SUVs. Land Rover made its name as an off-road brand and while it has branched out into luxurious, family cars, every model it makes is very capable away from the tarmac.
