Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Comfortable ride and handling on and off the pavement, classy yet rugged interior, spacious backseat, high level of off-road capability.
Cons
- High price, cabin ergonomics still aren't the best, engine could use more low-end torque, a few low-grade interior materials.
What’s new
The Range Rover's electronic systems -- navigation, audio and telecommunications -- are all new and completely integrated using fiber optics. The new DVD-based navigation system uses a VGA display, which is brighter and has better resolution than last year's LCD unit. A 4x4 driver interface graphically displays vehicle settings and positions, such as the angle of the front wheels, the suspension setting and the direction of travel. The Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio system has been boosted to 710 watts playing through 14 speakers. A Bluetooth wireless cell phone interface has also been added.
Edmunds says
Designed and engineered by BMW, the Range Rover offers a satisfying blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability in a stylish and well-trimmed package. If you can afford the price of admission, this is one luxury SUV that won't disappoint.

Since ford purchsed in 2003, the parts are regularly available at most auto mechanics at half the hourly rate.
Love this truck, could not imagine ever going back to a Tahoe.
Curp appeal, safety, and comfort at its best.
Love my FullFat Range Rover

2005 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4WD 4dr SUV (4.4L 8cyl 5A)
107K miles, no major faults to note. All records going back to new. Typical fiddly LR stuff here and there (door handle release cable, dead battery---but it was the original that lasted 7 years, and these things are typically hard on batteries, occasional goofy electrical gremlins, cooling hoses randomly burst---this is well documented) but all in all, the truck has been tremendously … reliable and is very comfortable and nothing feels as safe when you're having to navigate through blinding snow storms and 10 degree temps. My truck has the lux package so the seats are straight out of a 7-series BM and are very comfortable. Find one that has been looked after and you'll see why we love them!
Not all are bad

2005 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4WD 4dr SUV (4.4L 8cyl 5A)
I read several of the reviews listed here before purchasing my 2005 Range Rover HSE as was very nervous about doing so due to all the negative comments about it's reliability. I purchased the vehicle with approx. 68K miles and to my surprise it has been one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever purchased! Now I have ~109K miles on it a it runs just like it did the day I purchased it. … The only major cost was the front suspension. This was a 2K+ repair but other than that nothing more than routine maintenance. I love my RR there is nothing like it on the road or off! With the air suspension it rides smoother on the highway that most cars! Sounds system is awesome and the engine sounds great!
Looks are great but maintenance is poor

2005 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4WD 4dr SUV (4.4L 8cyl 5A)
We purchased this vehicle in 07, warranty was still on the vehicle. Every since 07 I can't even keep track of how many times this SUV has been in the service dept. I don't know if it's the manufacturer or the technicians that work at the dealership. on 3 different occasions I picked up the car and had to bring it back in less than an hour and it was always something different. pls … purchase extended warranty if you plan on buying. Extremely poor maintenance.
