The 2000 Range Rover now qualifies as a low-emissions vehicle. Interior and exterior upgrades improve the vehicle's look and feel, and new trim levels allow buyers to further dress up their Range Rover's appearance
Edmunds says
Built for the bush but bought for bragging rights, Range Rovers are more likely to be found in Beverly Hills than Botswana.

Vehicle overview
Virtually unbeatable in both snob appeal and off-road talent, the 2000 Range Rover comes in two basic trim levels: 4.0 SE and 4.6 HSE. The 2000 model year brings us cleaner 4.0-liter and 4.6-liter V8 engines that qualify the Range Rover as a low-emissions vehicle.
Both of these engines were upgraded in 1999 with features like an all-aluminum sump, an advanced induction system that features a "Thor" manifold, modified rocker covers, improved placement and mounting of the auxiliary equipment, new engine sensors, and an ignition and fuel management system designed by Bosch. Both models have standard twin tailpipes. The 4.0-liter V8 that powers the SE makes 250 foot-pounds of torque and accelerates to 60 mph faster than the previous engine. The larger, 4.6-liter V8 that propels the HSE model makes 222 horsepower and 300 foot-pounds of torque.
In addition to all-disc, all-terrain antilock brakes, traction control is standard on all Range Rover trim levels. The Range Rover can tow 6,500 pounds on the highway, or 7,700 pounds in low range. Under the sheetmetal is a ladder-type chassis plus an electronic air suspension system and beam axles. Rear trailing arms are made of lightweight composite material.
The Range Rover is loaded with standard equipment. That means leather and burled walnut in the interior, automatic climate controls for the driver and front passenger (with micro-pollen filtration), 10-way adjustable heated front seats with memory preset, sunroof, and, well, you get the idea. A 300-watt Alpine sound system that features a Radio Data System display, weather band and six-disc CD changer is also standard.
This year the Range Rover gets several interior upgrades including chrome trim, revised cupholders and new instrument graphics. Auto dimming exterior mirrors, body-colored bumpers and "smoked" exterior lighting add this SUVs stylish look. In addition to a stronger engine, the 4.6 HSE adds 255/55HR18 tires, five-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels, mud flaps, a leather-wrapped shifter and a cell phone. The 4.6 Vitesse further elevates the Range Rover's luxury status with power folding, heated outside mirrors, a body-colored grille, and a navigation system.
Buyers looking to give their Range Rover some attitude can order either 4.0 SE or 4.6 HSE in KIT trim. These models feature stainless-steel exhaust, front and rear bumpers in black, brush guards, and tow hooks.
With the 4.0 SE priced well over $50,000, the Range Rover obviously isn't for everyone. Land Rover calls it "the world's most advanced sport utility." We won't argue with that description. Given a choice, we'd prefer something on the order of a BMW 740iL for ordinary highway driving. Still, if a taste for off-roading lies in your future, and a run-of-the-mill sport-utility vehicle doesn't turn you on, what better way to blast into the bush than in a Range Rover? It's not just a drive -- it's a lifestyle.

1999 Land Rover Range Rover 4.0 S 4dr SUV AWD
before you purchase a used Range Rover,
a few suggestions:
1. a thorough inspection of the
drivetrain. get the transmission
closely inspected, including the
transfer case. on a test drive, from a
complete stop, give it the gas pedal to
put the transmission under stress/high
load. listen for any knocking.
2. if the range rover has over 50K
miles on it, start … planning on having
the Electronic Air Suspension
repaired. this system is highly prone
to malfunction. check into the price
of the coil spring replacement for this
system.

A Classic
nadersoli, 02/02/2010
1999 Land Rover Range Rover 4.6 HSE 4dr SUV AWD
I bought my Range at a dealer auction back in Aug of 09. It was in exceptional condition when I bought it. Problems: I had dry rot in the air suspension sacs on acct of the prev owner not driving it. About 1500 to swap out for coils beat out the 7k the dealer wanted to replace the susp system. Needed new tires which ran me about 700 and I'm due soon for new brakes and rotors all around … for about another 700. I love the car, but I guess I'm getting bored of it quickly. It's a classic and I love it, but not roomy at all and it sucks down gas like it's goin out of style. My service light is on, which is not as bad as the check engine. Def doing better than some other folks who reviewed here.

An Unmitigated Disaster
Warchild NYC, 02/06/2008
1999 Land Rover Range Rover 4.6 HSE 4dr SUV AWD
After purchasing this car in September 2006 for $13.2K with 76K miles on it, I have paid over $8K in repairs for just 12,000 miles driven. The transmission went out and required a complete rebuild ($4K), the air suspension and associated compressor failed ($3K), and various other things electronic in nature failed ($1K+) such as the door locks, a bunch of interior lights and the display … panel for the heater. The remote function on the key does not work at all, so the key must be used old fashion style to lock and unlock the vehicle. Just an awful experience compared to my 1994 BMW 540i that has 142K miles on it and has given me no problems except normal wear and maintenance.

2000 Land Rover Range Rover 4.6 HSE 4dr SUV AWD
My parents first purchased this car, and at first I thought it was the ugliest thing they could have bought, but after a few years I really started getting attached and when I got my license my parents let me have it. Within the year I drove i but 18,000 miles on it and it already had 186k so it was at the end of it life, so expected there was wear and tear but mostly in good condition. … What broke was the suspension (EAS fault) which probably costs more to replace than what the car is worth currently. I used this car to drive friends around, haul grain for the horses, and we took many family adventures in it threw the cascades. Over all it was pretty reliable
