2019 Land Rover Range Rover

The 2019 Range Rover (full-size, not Sport) US gas lineup is the 5.0L Supercharged V8 across Supercharged/Autobiography trims (no V6 gas option was offered on the full-size model that year, only on Range Rover Sport/Velar); 518 hp is the volume figure.

Peak torque for the standard 518-hp Supercharged V8.

Land Rover's own claimed 0-60 time for the short-wheelbase Supercharged V8; independent tests corroborate low-5-second runs.

Reviewers praised the supercharged V8 for strong, smooth delivery with minimal lag, though stop-start and low-speed throttle tip-in drew occasional criticism versus rivals like the Cayenne.

The ZF 8-speed automatic shifts smoothly and responsively across the range, with a Sport mode for quicker response; reviewers noted no notable hunting or harshness.

Maximum conventional towing rating when equipped with the factory tow package, consistent across the 2019 engine lineup.

Permanent four-wheel drive is standard across every 2019 Range Rover trim, with a two-speed transfer case, locking center differential, and Terrain Response 2 terrain modes — among the most sophisticated systems in the segment.

Two-speed transfer case, electronic air suspension with adjustable ride height (up to 11.7 in. ground clearance), Terrain Response 2, and a class-leading 35.4-in. wading depth give it genuine off-road credibility despite its on-road luxury positioning.

2019 US lineup spans a Td6 diesel V6, the 518 hp (and 557 hp SVAutobiography Dynamic) supercharged V8, and a P400e plug-in hybrid — three distinct powertrain types including electrification, though no conventional non-supercharged gas or full-EV option.

EPA annual fuel cost estimate for the standard gas powertrain at 15,000 miles/year on premium fuel.

The supercharged V8 requires premium unleaded fuel, with no regular-fuel option offered on the gas powertrain, pushing ownership fuel cost above segment norms.

NHTSA has never conducted a frontal/side/rollover battery on the full-size Range Rover (L405); its vehicle lookup shows no overall, frontal, side, or rollover rating for MY2019.

IIHS has not crash-tested the full-size Range Rover for MY2019 (low US sales volume keeps it off the agency's test slate) and it holds no Top Safety Pick award or individual crashworthiness ratings. Untested with no award, so it sits at the low end rather than earning credit for unverified safety.

Standard equipment is limited to low-speed forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, a rearview camera, and front/rear parking sensors. Blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise are all gated behind the optional Drive Pack / Drive Pro Pack rather than standard on the volume HSE trim.

The standard AEB system is explicitly a low-speed, city-type implementation rather than a full-speed-range system with pedestrian detection, and it has no IIHS front crash prevention rating (vehicle-to-vehicle or pedestrian) to corroborate performance beyond the spec sheet description.

Blind Spot Monitor with closing-vehicle sensing is available across trims via the optional Drive Pack, and the higher Drive Pro Pack upgrades it to Blind Spot Assist with active steering intervention plus rear traffic monitor — but none of it is standard, so the volume-trim buyer gets no coverage without the add-on.

Lane departure warning (alert-only) is standard, but Lane Keep Assist — the system that actively steers the vehicle back into its lane — is bundled only in the optional Drive Pro Pack, so most volume-trim cars on the road have warning without correction.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and auto-resume is a genuine, capable full-speed-range system for 2019 — new that year — but it is locked behind the optional Drive Pro Pack rather than standard, so it only partially credits the volume configuration.

No hands-free highway driving system (BlueCruise/Super Cruise/FSD-type) is offered on the 2019 Range Rover at any trim or option level; the most advanced driver aid is hands-on adaptive cruise with steering assist.

IIHS has not rated this model's headlights. LED headlamps are available (adaptive/matrix LED on higher trims) but not confirmed standard across the volume trim, and with no independent beam-pattern test, performance can't be verified beyond the equipment list.

Reviewers consistently credit the tall glasshouse, slim roof pillars, and commanding seating height for excellent forward and side sightlines, further aided by a standard rearview camera and optional 360-degree surround camera.

Two complete LATCH lower-anchor-and-tether sets are fitted for the rear outboard seats and the rear bench offers generous room for car seats, but owner/reviewer feedback flags the lower anchors as tough to reach and the tether anchors as hard to locate, so installation takes extra effort despite the space being there.

The full-size Range Rover (distinct from the Range Rover Sport) is a strict 5-passenger, two-row SUV for 2019; no third row is offered on either wheelbase.

Standard-wheelbase front headroom figure, carried over from the 2018 facelift with no 2019 dimensional changes per Wikipedia.

Generous front legroom consistent with the Range Rover's flagship positioning.

Applies — vehicle seats 5. Rear headroom is near the top of the SUV band, reflecting the tall, upright cabin.

Applies — vehicle seats 5. Rear legroom is excellent even on the standard wheelbase, a core part of the Range Rover's limousine-like rear-seat proposition.

No third row exists on the 2019 Range Rover at any trim or wheelbase — it is strictly a 5-passenger SUV, unlike the related Range Rover Sport.

Cargo volume behind the second row is modest for the vehicle's exterior size and price class — a known tradeoff of the Range Rover's proportions and full-size spare/underfloor packaging.

Maximum cargo volume with seats folded sits in the lower half of the full-size SUV band.

Functional but unremarkable storage: a deep front console, door pockets, and underfloor space, with the lower Touch Pro Duo touchscreen doubling as a control surface rather than freeing up storage; no standout innovation like a giga-console or in-bed trunk.

Widely and repeatedly praised front and rear seats — 20-way power/heated/ventilated front seats standard on HSE and up, with massage and heated rear seats available on higher trims; a consistent strength across reviews.

Long-travel air suspension delivers a supple, well-controlled ride that is repeatedly called class-leading, even on rough roads, aside from some firmness on the largest optional 22-inch wheels.

Well-isolated cabin with acoustic glazing available, consistent with the Range Rover's flagship positioning; reviews note a hushed highway cruise, offset slightly by some road noise on larger wheel options.

Heated/ventilated front seats and heated rear seats are standard from HSE up, with 4-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, and massage seats available on upper trims — rich availability even though the very top features (massage, heated armrests) are reserved for Autobiography.

Within the gas lineup, 'Supercharged' is the entry grade carrying the 5.0L Supercharged V8 that this scorecard's other categories describe (518 hp); a lower-priced 3.0L V6 Supercharged base/HSE pairing also existed on the 2019 full-size Range Rover per Land Rover's own December 2018 model-year press release, but is not the configuration scored elsewhere in this scorecard. Shown for reference only.

Autobiography is the most heavily-equipped mainstream grade on the same 518-hp Supercharged V8 scored in cat1/cat2 (SVAutobiography Dynamic/SVAutobiography sit above it as low-volume halo trims); feeds the Effective 5-Year Ownership Cost rather than being scored standalone.

No Edmunds TCO breakout isolates the 2019 Autobiography specifically; estimated in line with the following model year's V8 figure given the shared 5.0L Supercharged engine and electronics architecture, adjusted slightly for RepairPal's higher reported annual repair cost for 2019.

Third-party depreciation trackers show wide variance (26-38% quoted) but consistently place the full-size Range Rover among the weakest resale performers in its class; 33% is a midpoint estimate for the 2019 model year.

Standard Land Rover New Vehicle Limited Warranty term for the 2019 model year, unchanged from surrounding model years.

Land Rover's powertrain coverage simply matches the 4-yr/50,000-mi bumper-to-bumper term rather than extending beyond it as many rivals do (5-10 years is typical in the segment).

No complimentary scheduled maintenance is included — Land Rover sells a separate Prepaid Scheduled Maintenance Plan — but 4-year/50,000-mile roadside assistance with trip-interruption benefits and a retailer mobile-technician dispatch program is standard, landing this at basic-roadside-only rather than no coverage.

$142,295 volume-trim price minus its estimated resale value after 5 years (33% retained, or about $46,957) leaves about $95,338 in depreciation. Add the projected $27,800 in 5-year maintenance and repairs, and owning this vehicle for 5 years costs about $123,138 in total.

Sources disagree sharply: JDPower.com's consumer-rating page for the 2019 Range Rover shows a 79/100 Quality & Reliability score (#2 in Large Premium SUV), but that blends owner-satisfaction survey data rather than long-term dependability. RepairPal's real-world reliability index rates the nameplate 2.0/5, ranking it roughly 15th-17th of ~19-20 luxury full-size SUVs, and Consumer Reports shows no predicted-reliability verdict for this model year (insufficient owner data). Weighting the real-world failure data over the satisfaction-survey score, this sits below average.

Land Rover has one of the worst multi-year dependability reputations of any luxury brand, finishing at or near the bottom of both Consumer Reports' brand reliability rankings and J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study across the surrounding model years.

NHTSA's recall record for this generation includes a powertrain safety recall directly covering MY2019 (crankshaft pulley retaining bolt on V6/V8 engines may fracture, risking engine failure, campaign 19V040000, Jan 2019) plus later campaigns on the same L405 generation for a coolant leak onto the turbo heat shield with fire risk (23V221000), high-beam indicator (21V117000), and rearview camera dropout (24V023000). A powertrain-failure and a fire-risk campaign push this toward the lower band despite none being officially classified as repeated/systemic.

The volume-trim 3.0L supercharged V6 (in production 2014-2019, so mature by MY2019) has a recognized, non-catastrophic failure pattern: timing chain rattle on cold start, vacuum leaks causing stalling/rough idle, and recurring coolant leaks from the plastic expansion tank and pipe connectors. No major powertrain redesign risk, but a persistent enough complaint pattern to sit in the mixed-history band rather than proven.

Contemporary reviews consistently rank the full-size Range Rover's cabin among the best in the class for 2019: thick soft-touch surfacing, perforated leather, real wood and metal trim, and near-total upholstered/padded coverage of touch points.

By MY2019 (the final year of the L405 generation before the 2022 redesign), assembly had matured from the model's rockier early years, reflected in a competitive JD Power quality score (79/100, #2 in segment). Owner forums still report scattered panel-gap, trim-rattle and loose-interior-piece complaints, keeping this mid-pack rather than class-leading.

Land Rover's US dealer footprint is thinner than mass-market brands, concentrated in larger metros, which is adequate but not dense coverage. Service reputation is inconsistent dealership-to-dealership: some stores win Land Rover's own Marque of Distinction and top transparency rankings, while other owners and Land Rover USA's own customer-service line draw harsh complaints.

Land Rover parts and labor are specialized and costly: RepairPal pegs average annual maintenance at roughly twice the industry average, with major repairs (catalytic converter, oil pump, diesel injection pump) running into the thousands and even routine oil changes exceeding $500 at a dealer.

Touch Pro Duo pairs two 10-inch HD touchscreens, standard across the 2019 Range Rover range after the 2018 facelift.

Touch Pro Duo looks striking but reviewers and owners consistently flag lag, freezing, and an underpowered Intel Atom processor; the dual-screen split (nav up top, climate/phone below) is clever in concept but adds complexity in daily use.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are offered on Touch Pro Duo-equipped 2019 Range Rovers via the optional 'Smartphone Pack' (~$300) rather than standard, and the connection is wired-only — wireless projection did not arrive until the next-generation Pivi Pro system in 2022.

Built-in InControl navigation with Pro Services traffic/routing is functional, but voice recognition is frequently cited among owner complaints alongside Bluetooth, pushing most owners toward phone projection instead.

A 13-speaker/380W Meridian system is standard, stepping up to an 825W/19-speaker Surround system and a flagship 1700W/29-speaker Meridian Signature system with Trifield 3D on Autobiography — strong range-topping audio with a solid base system.

HSE and other volume trims get only a partial TFT display inset among analog gauges; a full configurable digital cluster required an options package on lower trims, though it is richer on Autobiography/SVAutobiography.

Land Rover rolled out its first wireless Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) updates for Range Rover during 2019, covering infotainment/software rather than full-vehicle systems — a meaningful but limited OTA capability for the model year.

The InControl Remote app covers core functions (locate, lock/unlock, remote climate preconditioning, vehicle health/fuel checks), with the fuller feature set gated behind InControl Remote Premium, a subscription-style tier after the initial trial.

USB-A ports are provided in the front console (data + charge) with charge-only ports elsewhere in the cabin; wireless phone charging was not standard on volume trims in 2019, making this adequate but not class-leading.

Proximity keyless entry, push-button start, and a hands-free powered tailgate are standard from HSE up; phone-as-key digital key capability was not yet available on the 2019 Range Rover, holding this just below the top band.

A rear camera and front/rear parking sensors are standard, with a 360-degree surround camera and Land Rover's interactive 'Approach Mode' terrain-ahead view available via the Vision Assist option pack rather than standard on the volume trim.

A head-up display is offered as a stand-alone option on the 2019 Range Rover (including HSE), rather than being standard, but it is not restricted to only the very top trim.

Wide, tall door openings and generous rear legroom (40.2 in) make loading kids and gear manageable, with standard LATCH anchors; the tall ride height and premium leather upholstery are mild everyday frictions versus more purpose-built family haulers.

A strong ADAS suite (blind-spot monitoring, forward AEB, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, 360-degree parking aid) is available, but neither NHTSA nor IIHS has crash-tested the Range Rover, leaving no independent US crash rating for families to reference at any price point.

Excellent rear seat comfort, legroom, and climate control support multi-hour trips for four occupants, but rear-seat entertainment is an option rather than standard, and cargo volume (31.8 cu ft behind the second row) is modest once gear and luggage are loaded alongside passengers.

The air suspension and smooth 8-speed automatic make it relaxing in traffic, and the commanding seating position aids visibility, though its size and light/quick-but-numb steering take some adjustment in tight urban settings.

19 MPG combined (17 city/23 hwy) on the standard supercharged V6, a recommendation for premium fuel, and Land Rover's above-average maintenance and repair costs make this an expensive vehicle to commute in relative to the broader SUV segment.

At 196.9 in long and 78.1 in wide with a roughly 40-ft turning circle, the Range Rover is a large vehicle to park and thread through tight city streets; standard rear camera and available 360-degree surround view help offset the footprint.

A 7,716 lb max tow rating (3,500 kg, electronically limited) and roughly 1,764 lb payload are respectable for a unibody-adjacent luxury SUV and sufficient for light-to-moderate trailer work, but it trails dedicated body-on-frame SUVs and trucks and carries no bed or cargo-box utility.

Land Rover's reliability reputation is weak relative to work-duty expectations — J.D. Power scored the 2019 Range Rover 79/100 with recurring owner-reported electrical and infotainment faults — and the vehicle is fundamentally luxury-oriented rather than built for hard commercial use.

There is essentially no jobsite-oriented equipment — no bed, limited tie-down provisions, leather-trimmed interior that discourages hauling dirty gear, and no meaningful upfit ecosystem compared to trucks or commercial-oriented SUVs.

A quiet, well-isolated cabin, supple highway ride, comfortable seats, and standard adaptive cruise/driver-assist features make this a strong mile-eater, tempered only by mid-pack real-world range on premium fuel.

Genuinely exceptional off-pavement capability: second-generation Terrain Response with dedicated grass/gravel/snow/mud/sand/rock-crawl modes, air suspension raising ground clearance to 11.7 in, and a class-leading 35.4 in wading depth with Wade Sensing.

A 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat, available roof rails, and a strong tow rating support gear-hauling and toy-hauling duty, but outright cargo volume (31.8/68.6 cu ft) is modest for the vehicle's size and price relative to class leaders.

The aluminum monocoque's rigidity and air suspension give the Range Rover surprising composure and body control for its roughly 5,100 lb curb weight — reviewers call it agile for its size — but it remains secure and confident rather than genuinely engaging next to lighter unibody rivals.

Steering is light and accurate at low speeds for easy maneuvering, but like most Range Rovers of this generation it trades genuine road feedback for effortless weighting — precise enough to place the car confidently, short on true feel.

No instrumented 60-0 mph test was found specifically for the 2019 Range Rover; large four-piston brakes provide adequate, confidence-inspiring stops in everyday driving, but the vehicle's mass (~5,100 lbs) limits outright performance versus lighter SUVs.

The supercharged 3.0L V6 paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic is well calibrated and refined, delivering smooth shifts and responsive power delivery, with only occasional owner-reported roughness around engine stop-start cycling.

The supercharged V6 produces a pleasant, muted whine under load and stays well isolated from the cabin at a cruise, consistent with the vehicle's flagship refinement goals.

A large curb-to-curb turning circle is an inherent tradeoff of the full-size Range Rover's length and wheelbase.

The signature Range Rover 'command' seating position, wide seat/wheel adjustability, and excellent forward visibility are longstanding strengths; the lower Touch Pro Duo screen replacing some physical climate controls is a minor ergonomic tradeoff.

Not a vehicle built around driver engagement — it is pleasant and confident rather than exciting, though its blend of effortless power and genuine off-road character gives it more personality than a typical luxury SUV appliance.

The Autobiography volume grade includes the dual 10-inch Touch Pro Duo touchscreens (added in the 2018 facelift), 360-degree parking camera, head-up display, Terrain Response 2, air suspension, massaging/heated/ventilated front seats and soft-close doors standard — generous for the segment, though rivals like the Escalade Platinum and X7 bundle comparable driver-assist tech at a lower price point.

Genuine off-road capability, air suspension and cabin luxury are real strengths, and the 2018 facelift's dual-screen Touch Pro Duo system was an improvement over the prior single-screen setup, but heavy depreciation, below-average reliability (RepairPal 2/5, 17th of 20 in class) and continued criticism of touchscreen responsiveness erode overall value against Escalade/Navigator/X7 rivals at similar price points.

Nine-plus 2019 configurations span base/HSE (3.0L V6 Supercharged, 340/380 hp), Td6 diesel base/HSE, Supercharged/Autobiography/SVAutobiography Dynamic/SVAutobiography (5.0L V8, 518/557 hp), and the newly-added P400e plug-in hybrid, in both standard and long-wheelbase bodies, from $89,500 to roughly $210,000.

18,831 US units in 2019 — a pre-pandemic high for the nameplate and a steady mid-to-upper result for the full-size luxury SUV niche, ahead of the following model year's 13,982.

Range Rover remains one of the most aspirational nameplates in the luxury SUV world, with strong brand equity that persists despite well-documented reliability criticism.

Dealers report little willingness to discount the full-size Range Rover off MSRP, particularly in a strong sales year; occasional modest lease cash exists but nothing approaching mainstream-brand incentive levels.

The L405 generation dates to 2013 and received a substantial 2018 mid-cycle facelift (new interior, dual-screen Touch Pro Duo infotainment, PHEV powertrain added). 2019 is the first full model year to carry that refresh with no major changes of its own, making it the freshest-feeling year before the 2020 mechanical update (new mild-hybrid inline-six engines) and well ahead of the all-new L460 generation's 2022 launch.

Reviewers consistently praised ride comfort, off-road capability and cabin ambiance, and credited the facelifted dual-screen infotainment as an improvement, but still dinged touchscreen responsiveness and middling reliability — well-regarded overall without being a frequent comparison-test winner against the Escalade/X7/GLS.
