The verdict
A mixed-report full-size luxury suv, strong on performance and held back by ownership.
The all-new fifth-generation Range Rover pairs a genuinely plush, whisper-quiet cabin with real off-road and towing chops (7,716 lbs) that few rivals match at this price. But it carries real risk: Land Rover finished dead last among all brands in J.D. Power's 2022 dependability study, the launch year brought a string of software and recall issues, and five-year ownership costs (maintenance alone projected at $12,292) run far above segment norms. This is a buy for shoppers who want the most comfortable, capable luxury SUV on the market and can stomach its reliability baggage and depreciation.

Detailed scoring by subject
1Performance & PowertrainThe Range Rover's best-graded category.3.36B+
P400 is the standard/volume engine for the fifth-generation (L460) 2022 Range Rover launched for this model year.
Peak torque of the volume P400 engine.
Manufacturer-quoted 0-60 for the standard-wheelbase P400, corroborated by independent spec aggregators.
The Ingenium I6 with 48V mild-hybrid electric supercharger is widely praised as smooth and immediate, with no perceptible turbo lag or coarseness; reviewers single out the drivetrain's overall refinement as class-leading.
The ZF 8-speed automatic shifts almost imperceptibly in normal driving and responds crisply under hard acceleration, a trait reviewers call out specifically.
Manufacturer-rated max towing capacity is identical across the 2022 Range Rover engine lineup when fitted with the tow package.
Permanent all-wheel drive is standard across the entire 2022 Range Rover lineup, with Terrain Response 2, twin-speed transfer case, active locking rear differential and electronic traction aids standard or widely available.
Adaptive air suspension raises ground clearance to 11.7 in off-road, wading depth of 35.4 in via Wade Mode, and approach/breakover/departure angles (34.7/27.7/29.0 deg) are genuinely capable for a luxury SUV, though there is no dedicated rock-crawling trim.
The 2022 US lineup spans three distinct powertrains: the P400 mild-hybrid I6, the P530 mild-hybrid V8, and the P440e plug-in hybrid — covering mainstream, performance and electrified needs, though there is no full EV yet (promised by 2026).
2Efficiency & RangeOne of the Range Rover's weakest categories.0.50F
EPA-certified combined rating for the fifth-generation (L460) 2022 Range Rover with the volume P400 mild-hybrid I6 engine.
EPA city rating for the P400.
EPA highway rating for the P400.
EPA-published total range figure for the P400, consistent with its 23.8-gallon fuel tank and 21 MPG combined rating.
EPA-published annual fuel cost estimate for the P400 at standard 15,000 mi/yr assumptions.
EPA and Land Rover list premium gasoline as recommended (not strictly required) for the P400, consistent across trims — no plug-in charging complexity on this gas-class volume engine.
3SafetyGrades below the middle of the scale.1.61D
NHTSA has never crash-tested the full-size Range Rover (L460 generation included) — it is a low-volume luxury SUV outside NHTSA's standard test sample, same as most Land Rover/Range Rover models.
IIHS has not crash-tested the Range Rover — no award, no individual test results, and no known adverse findings. The same L460-generation body structure was awarded a 5-star Euro NCAP rating in late 2022 (a different protocol, not a substitute for IIHS/NHTSA), which corroborates a sound structure despite the absence of US test data.
Even on the base P360 SE (the volume gas trim), the 2022 Range Rover ships with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitor, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, driver attention alert, and adaptive cruise control as standard — a comprehensive suite for a vehicle at this price point rather than an options-list afterthought.
AEB and forward collision warning are standard, but IIHS/NHTSA have not published front-crash-prevention test results (vehicle or pedestrian, day or night) for this generation, so performance can't be corroborated against an independent test. Land Rover markets "high-speed AEB" as an addition within the optional Driver Assist Pack, implying the standard system's envelope is more city/moderate-speed focused.
Blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on the base trim, not gated to upper trims. Clear Exit Monitor (safe-exit alert) is bundled into the optional Driver Assist Pack rather than standard across the range.
Lane keep assist and lane departure warning are standard, but reviewers and owners describe the system as functional rather than refined — occasional ping-ponging or late corrections are noted versus the smoothest systems in the luxury SUV class.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist is standard even on the base P360 SE, and reviewers consistently praise the 2022 Range Rover's refined, composed highway cruising manners — a core strength of this generation's redesign.
Land Rover offered no supervised hands-free highway driving system (no equivalent to BlueCruise, Super Cruise, or FSD-supervised) for the 2022 Range Rover. Adaptive Cruise with Steering Assist requires hands on the wheel at all times.
Standard headlamps are LED with auto high-beam and dusk-sensing activation; the more sophisticated Pixel/Matrix LED adaptive-beam hardware is an upgrade reserved for higher trims, and even where fitted, true adaptive driving beam (glare-free high beam) was not yet enabled for the US market in 2022 pending regulatory approval, despite the hardware being present. No IIHS headlight rating has been published for this generation.
The commanding, tall seating position and relatively thin pillars of the L460 generation give genuinely good natural sightlines, a trait reviewers consistently credit to this redesign; the optional ClearSight camera rearview mirror further compensates for loaded cargo areas or tall rear passengers blocking the standard mirror, though it is not confirmed standard on the base trim.
The Range Rover carries two complete LATCH lower-anchor sets for the rear outboard seats plus a top-tether anchor for the center position, and rear-seat space itself is generous (especially in the long-wheelbase configuration). Owner reports describe the lower anchors as mounted tight against the seat-back junction, requiring some wedging to fully engage — workable but not effortless.
4Space & ComfortMid-pack among this car's ten categories.1.86C-
The volume SWB trim seats 5; a 7-seat third-row option exists only on the Long Wheelbase SE/Autobiography.
Manufacturer-published SWB front headroom figure.
Manufacturer-published SWB front legroom figure; sits below typical full-size SUV legroom despite the vehicle's large footprint, a known L460 packaging trait (upright seating position, low scuttle).
Manufacturer-published SWB second-row headroom figure.
Manufacturer-published SWB second-row legroom; LWB stretches this substantially for buyers who option it.
The volume SWB configuration has no third row at all; the 7-seat layout exists only as an LWB SE/Autobiography option, so the representative trim scores as having no third row.
Manufacturer-published SWB cargo volume behind the second row.
Manufacturer-published SWB maximum cargo volume with seats folded.
Standard wireless phone charging, a deep center console, and configurable underfloor storage are competitive but not a standout innovation like a frunk or in-bed trunk.
24-way adjustable front seats with multiple massage programs and a power-reclining rear seat are repeatedly singled out by reviewers as class-leading.
The new Electronic Air Suspension is widely praised as class-leading, smoothing broken pavement even on large wheels; body lean shows up only at cornering limits, which is a handling trait rather than a ride-comfort one.
An active road-noise-cancellation system using headrest speakers is highly effective against tire/engine noise and Land Rover calls it the quietest Range Rover yet, but multiple reviewers flagged more noticeable wind noise above ~70 mph once the other noise sources were suppressed.
Heated front seats (and available heated/cooled front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, rear climate zones) are broadly available, and massage functionality extends comfort equipment well beyond segment norms.
5Cost of OwnershipThe Range Rover's lowest-graded category.0.00F
Entry point for the all-new fifth-generation Range Rover's launch year; SE standard-wheelbase is the cheapest configuration offered for MY2022.
SE P400 (mild-hybrid turbo-I6) was the volume gas powertrain for the 2022 launch; a typically-optioned SE (Comfort/Convenience packages, upgraded wheels) lands meaningfully above the $93,800 base sticker.
Edmunds' True Cost to Own model projects maintenance and repair spend specifically for the 2022 Range Rover, well above mainstream-SUV norms, consistent with the brand's known high service costs.
Range Rover is a well-documented weak residual-value performer among full-size luxury SUVs; CarEdge's blended depreciation/residual figures for the nameplate imply roughly a quarter of original value retained at 5 years, near the bottom of the full-size luxury SUV band.
Land Rover's New Vehicle Limited Warranty is a combined bumper-to-bumper and powertrain term; this is the standard coverage for MY2022 Range Rover in the US.
Unlike many rivals that pair a shorter bumper-to-bumper term with a longer separate powertrain warranty, Land Rover's coverage is a single combined 4-year/50,000-mile term — a real weakness versus mainstream and some luxury competitors' 5-6 year powertrain coverage.
Land Rover's EliteCare ownership program bundled complimentary scheduled maintenance for 5 years/60,000 miles with roadside assistance and remote app monitoring for new vehicles during this era — a genuinely generous multi-year maintenance benefit, though not uncommon among luxury marques at this price point.
$104,000 volume-trim price minus its estimated resale value after 5 years (26% retained, or about $27,040) leaves about $76,960 in depreciation. Add the projected $12,292 in 5-year maintenance and repairs, and owning this vehicle for 5 years costs about $89,252 in total.
6Reliability & QualityOne of the Range Rover's weakest categories.0.43F
Consumer Reports did not publish a predicted-reliability score for the all-new 2022 Range Rover (first model year of the L460 generation), and when CR later rated the nameplate it scored it the lowest in the luxury SUV segment. J.D. Power's per-model 'Quality & Reliability' index for the 2022 Range Rover was a relatively high 80/100, but that figure is an early-ownership composite, not a 3-year dependability study, and it conflicts with the brand's actual VDS standing and widely reported launch-year electrical/software complaints.
Land Rover finished dead last among all brands in J.D. Power's 2022 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study at 284 problems per 100 vehicles against a 192 industry average — the same last-place finish it held the prior year — and Consumer Reports has repeatedly flagged the brand's below-average reliability standing.
The 2022 Range Rover carries multiple safety-related recalls spanning serious systems: a coolant leak onto the turbocharger heat shield that raises fire risk, a driver's airbag clockspring connector that can corrode and prevent deployment, a 12V electrical system fault that can cut drive power and exterior lighting while underway, an insufficiently welded second-row seat frame (2022-2023), and a back-over prevention (rearview camera) defect — a pattern of major/safety-system recalls rather than minor administrative ones.
The volume 2022 Range Rover gas trim uses JLR's Ingenium 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 mild-hybrid (P400) paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic — a newer powertrain family (in volume use since ~2020 for the I6) without the decade-plus high-mileage track record of a proven design, and JLR's broader Ingenium family (particularly earlier 4-cylinder variants) has a mixed reputation for turbo and timing-chain issues. No powertrain-specific recall or epidemic failure has been documented for this generation's I6 specifically, so it lands as newer-with-mixed-history rather than a known problem engine.
Reviewers consistently single out the 2022 Range Rover's cabin as class-leading: thick leather, textured wood veneers, and switchgear that reads as plush and luxurious throughout, with only minor criticism of the steering-wheel button feel.
As the launch year of an all-new (fifth) generation, the 2022 Range Rover drew widespread owner reports of infotainment crashes, Pivi Pro black-screen faults, climate-control menu dropouts, and false air-suspension fault warnings — software/electrical gremlins that are a build-quality concern even where body panel assembly itself is reported as tight, pulling the score below the segment's solid-assembly band.
Land Rover's US retailer network is far smaller than mass-market brands' (on the order of a couple hundred dedicated stores nationwide), which is typical and adequate for a low-volume luxury marque, but service satisfaction is widely reported as mixed given the brand's high repair frequency and anecdotal parts/loaner delays.
RepairPal puts the Range Rover's average annual repair cost at $1,258 — well above the $652 all-model average and above even the already-elevated $1,174 Land Rover brand average — with parts sourced almost entirely through the dealer network and a thin independent-aftermarket for the current generation, and owner reports of extended parts-backorder waits.
7Technology & InfotainmentOne of the Range Rover's strongest categories.3.18B
The redesigned Pivi Pro system uses a single 13.1-in curved, floating touchscreen across all 2022 Range Rover trims.
The redesigned Pivi Pro interface is smartphone-quick with haptic feedback and a decluttered home screen, reaching most functions in two taps; Motor1 scored the technology 9/10.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard equipment across the 2022 Range Rover range.
Pivi Pro includes an online-connected voice assistant and native navigation that are functional and improved over the prior InControl Touch Pro system, but reviewers still generally favor phone-projected navigation for everyday use.
A 35-speaker Meridian Signature Sound System with headrest speakers tops the range, with Meridian 3D Surround Sound and a Meridian Sound System covering lower trims — a strong lineup even at the base level.
A fully digital, configurable instrument cluster is standard equipment paired with the new Pivi Pro interior, not a higher-trim exclusive.
Land Rover pushes infotainment software updates over the air (confirmed 2022 Pivi Pro 'InControl Touch Pro 22A' update cycle), but this is scoped to the infotainment/connected-services stack rather than the whole-vehicle OTA updates offered by EV-native brands.
The InControl Remote app covers core remote functions (lock/unlock, vehicle status, locate) but requires a paid InControl Remote/Protect subscription after the initial trial, and reviewer sentiment on JLR apps is middling.
Standard wireless phone charging plus USB-C ports front and rear cover the basics well, though full device-power provisioning (household outlets) is not emphasized the way it is on some rivals.
Walk-Away Locking and Approach Unlocking plus standard remote keyless entry and push-button start cover full keyless convenience, though a phone-as-digital-key feature was not confirmed for the 2022 model year.
A 3D Surround Camera stitches four cameras into 360-degree, kerb and junction views at low speed, a high-quality implementation widely noted in launch coverage; it is optional rather than standard on the base trim.
A head-up display is available via the optional Vision Assist Pack rather than standard on the volume trim, placing it in the mid band.
8Use-Case FitMid-pack among this car's ten categories.2.03C
Wide door openings and a power-adjustable rear seat ease loading kids and gear, and LATCH anchors are standard, but the Range Rover isn't purpose-built for family logistics the way a minivan or 3-row crossover is, and the SWB volume trim has no third row for extra seating flexibility.
No current Land Rover model is crash-tested by NHTSA or IIHS, leaving US buyers without an independent safety grade; Euro NCAP gave the global model a 5-star rating with an 82% Safety Assist score, and ADAS is available but not uniformly packaged as standard across the lineup the way mainstream family SUVs do it.
Massage-capable, heated/ventilated front and rear seats, strong rear legroom and a notably refined ride make this one of the most comfortable family road-trip platforms in the segment for four occupants.
Standard four-wheel (rear-axle) steering meaningfully offsets the vehicle's large footprint in traffic and tight maneuvers, and the smooth MHEV inline-six and air suspension make low-speed driving relaxed, though its size and mass are still noticeable in everyday use.
EPA-rated 18/26/21 mpg city/highway/combined on required premium fuel is well below average commuting cost for the segment, and service/maintenance costs on this platform run high.
Standard rear-axle steering trims the effective turning circle for a vehicle this large, and the standard 3D surround camera system aids tight parking, offsetting the vehicle's considerable footprint.
A 7,716-lb tow rating is solid for a luxury SUV and class-competitive, but there is no bed/cargo-box utility and the vehicle is not positioned or equipped as a work tool.
The L460 is an all-new platform for 2022 with no fleet-duty track record, a luxury-first interior that isn't wear-friendly, and historically mixed Land Rover reliability reputation — none of which suits hard-use work duty.
No onboard household power, no bed, and no meaningful upfit/rack ecosystem — this is a luxury SUV with essentially no jobsite-oriented provisions beyond a tow hitch.
Class-leading seat comfort, a quiet highway cabin (aside from some wind noise), strong available ADAS, and a roughly 400+ mile highway range on the P400 make this an excellent mile-eater.
Configurable Terrain Response with up to 8 terrain modes, adaptive air suspension with raised off-road height, and genuine off-road pedigree make this a real adventure-capable vehicle despite its luxury positioning.
A 60/40 folding second row, 70.9 cu ft max cargo volume, and available tow hitch/roof rails handle normal gear loads well, though the SWB's 34.5 cu ft behind the second row is modest for bulky items with passengers aboard.
9Driving ExperienceOne of the Range Rover's strongest categories.2.93B-
Standard rear-axle steering gives genuine agility for the vehicle's size, but reviewers consistently note noticeable body lean under moderate cornering loads and modest ultimate grip limits as the soft springs struggle to stay composed at higher speeds.
Steering is more precise than the outgoing L405 with no dead-center slack, but heavy assistance and the vehicle's mass leave little real feedback to the driver.
Reviewers describe a well-judged balance between stopping power for a ~2.5-tonne SUV and smooth, chauffeur-style pedal modulation.
The 48V mild-hybrid 3.0L inline-six with electric supercharger delivers smooth, well-calibrated response with an 'unexpected sense of urgency' and none of the lag or rough stop-start behavior that affects some mild-hybrid systems.
The inline-six is refined and nearly diesel-quiet except under hard acceleration, and the cabin's active noise cancellation further suppresses powertrain noise and vibration at cruise.
Standard rear-axle (4-wheel) steering shrinks the SWB's turning diameter well below what its size would suggest; published figures vary slightly by trim/wheel package (roughly 36-38 ft for SWB).
A commanding, upright seating position with excellent sightlines, extensive seat/wheel adjustability, and a clean control layout make this an easy vehicle to get comfortable and confident in from the driver's seat.
The Range Rover can surprise with agility and a satisfying surge of torque, and reviewers say it 'can be great fun to drive' when pushed, but its character is tuned firmly toward relaxed, chauffeur-style comfort rather than outright driver engagement.
10Value & Market PositionMid-pack among this car's ten categories.2.63C+
Base SE trim includes air suspension, 13.1-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen, leather upholstery, heated/cooled front seats and a 360-camera system as standard — generous versus mainstream luxury rivals, but several items buyers expect at this price (massage seats, rear entertainment, upgraded sound, active exhaust) are reserved for higher trims or option packs.
The Range Rover trades on brand cachet, ride quality and off-road breadth rather than raw content-per-dollar; at $93,800+ base and commonly $110K+ as equipped, rivals like the Jeep Grand Wagoneer or Cadillac Escalade undercut it on features-for-price, even though few match its road presence or off-road engineering.
2022 launch lineup spans SE, Westminster/HSE and Autobiography trims, standard and long wheelbase, mild-hybrid I6 (P400) and V8 (P530) gas engines, plus PHEV variants arriving in the model year, and SV Autobiography at the top — a genuinely wide, well-spaced range.
The all-new fifth generation launched to a record order book — JLR reported almost 200,000-205,000 combined orders for Range Rover/Range Rover Sport/Defender by mid-2022, with 12-month customer wait times — exceptional demand for a low-volume full-size luxury SUV, even though semiconductor shortages constrained actual deliveries.
Range Rover is among the most aspirational nameplates in the full-size luxury SUV segment, with a loyal following and strong cultural cachet, despite the brand's well-known reliability reputation dragging slightly on overall satisfaction.
Launch-year demand combined with chip-shortage-constrained production meant 2022 Range Rover buyers faced long waitlists and essentially no incentives or negotiating room — the opposite of a buyer-friendly deals environment.
2022 is the first model year of the all-new fifth generation (L460), revealed October 2021 with a new platform, new electrical architecture and first-ever PHEV range extension — as fresh as a model year can be.
Widely praised on launch for refinement, ride quality and design — winning Car Design Review 9's Production Car of the Year — and generally well-reviewed by the enthusiast press, though it isn't typically the outright pick over established German/American full-size luxury SUV rivals in comparison tests, and reliability concerns tempered some verdicts.
