Range Rover is not just a car, but a symbol of status, luxury and impeccable British style. The brand, which has set standards in the premium SUV class for more than 50 years, today offers four fundamentally different models: compact Evoque, dynamic Velar, universal Range Rover Sport and flagship Range Rover. Each of them has a unique character, but they are united by their unique design, advanced technology and legendary cross-country ability.

In 2026, the line was updated: the manufacturer paid attention to hybrid power units, expanded the capabilities of driver assistance systems and introduced new personalization options. However, choosing between models is still a non-trivial task. Which Range Rover is suitable for city trips, but which one can cope with serious off-road conditions? Is it worth overpaying for a flagship or is it enough? Sport-versions? In this guide we will analyze in detail all models, their technical features, price ranges and target audience - so you can make informed choices.

1. Range Rover Evoque: a compact premium crossover for the city

The youngest model in the family - Range Rover Evoque - ideal for those who value style and comfort, but are not ready to sacrifice maneuverability in urban conditions. The car is built on a platform Premium Transverse Architecture (PTA)which provides excellent handling and efficiency. In 2026, the model received an updated multimedia system Pivi Pro with over-the-air updates and improved sound insulation.

Under the hood Evoque Three engines are available:

- Gasoline P200 (2.0 l, 200 hp)

- Gasoline P250 (2.0 l, 249 hp)

  • ⚡ Acceleration 0-100 km/h: 8.5 s (for P200)
⚠️ Attention: The diesel version is not officially available in Russia Evoque D165 - only gasoline engines. It is also worth considering that the ground clearance of 212 mm limits serious off-roading, despite all-wheel drive.
📊 Which engine would you choose for the Evoque?
Petrol P200 (200 hp)
Petrol P250 (249 hp)
Hybrid MHEV
Diesel D165 (if it was in Russia)
I find it difficult to answer

2. Range Rover Velar: a design masterpiece with flagship technology

Range Rover Velar occupies a niche between Evoque and Sport, combining an elegant coupe-like silhouette with advanced options. This is the only model in the line where the interior and exterior design were developed in parallel - so the interior looks like a single whole with the exterior. In 2026 Velar received updated LED headlights Pixel LED with adaptive light and a new body color palette, including an exclusive shade Carpathian Grey.

Technically Velar closer to Sportthan to Evoque: it is built on a platform D7u (aluminum monocoque) and is equipped with the same engines as the older models:

- Gasoline P250 (2.0 l, 249 hp), P340 (3.0 l, 340 hp)

- Diesel D200 (2.0 l, 204 hp) - only for Europe

- Plug-in hybrid P400e (2.0 l + electric motor, 404 hp).

All-wheel drive system Terrain Response 2 here it is more advanced, with automatic coverage recognition.

Modification Power (hp) Acceleration 0-100 km/h (s) Max. speed (km/h) Average consumption (l/100 km)
P250 249 7,5 217 8,1
P340 340 5,7 241 9,8

Feature Velar - this is interior with minimalistic design and two touch screens Touch Pro Duo. Optionally available seats with a massage function, four-zone climate control and an audio system Meridian at 1700 W. However, you have to pay for luxury: the starting price in Russia starts from 8.3 million rubles, and the top version First Edition will cost 12+ million.

💡

When ordering Velar pay attention to the option Advanced Tow Assist — it automatically controls the trailer when maneuvering in reverse, which is especially useful for beginners.

3. Range Rover Sport: a versatile SUV for family and off-road use

Range Rover Sport is the gold standard among premium midsize SUVs. The 2026 model is built on the same platform MLA-Flex, as the flagship Range Rover, but with a shortened wheelbase (2923 mm versus 3197 mm). The car offers the perfect balance between dynamics, comfort and off-road capability, making it the best choice for active families.

Unlike Velar, Sport has a more practical body with a large trunk (818 l) and an optional third row of seats (for versions SE and above). Engines include:

- Gasoline P360 (3.0 l, 360 hp), P530 (4.4 l, 530 hp - V8 from BMW)

4. Range Rover (full size): flagship with royal comfort

Flagship Range Rover (fifth generation) is the pinnacle of engineering Land Rover. The car offers unique for the class rear row option with separate seats Executive Class, equipped with heating, ventilation, massage and individual 11.4-inch screens. The body is 100% aluminum and the air suspension Electronic Air Suspension automatically adjusts the ground clearance from 220 to 313 mm.

HSE 18.5 million rubles. Seat ventilation, Head-Up Display, adaptive cruise
Autobiography RUB 22.3 million Back row Executive Class, massage chairs, 23-inch wheels

The system deserves special attention Cabinetry — individual interior trim with natural wood, metal or even ceramics. For example, option Ceramic Controls offers ceramic climate control buttons with haptic feedback. However, such “luxurious” details increase the final cost by up to 25+ million rubles.

What is the system ClearSight Ground View?

This technology projects images from cameras under the car onto a central screen, creating a "see-through hood" effect. The system automatically corrects the image when you turn the steering wheel, showing the wheels and obstacles ahead. Particularly useful when parking or driving off-road, where it is important to control the position of the wheels relative to holes or stones.

5. Model comparison: what to choose in 2026?

To make the choice easier, we will summarize the key parameters in a single table. Please note target audience each model - this will help you avoid overpaying for unnecessary options.

Model Ideal buyer Strengths Weaknesses Price (from/to, RUB million)
Evoque Young professionals, city dwellers Compact, stylish, economical Small trunk, poor cross-country ability 5,8 / 8,5
Velar Designers, creative individuals, couples without children Unique interior, technology, dynamics High price, cramped back row 8,3 / 13,0
Range Rover Sport Active families, off-road enthusiasts Versatility, maneuverability, space Expensive hybrid, high consumption (V8) 11,5 / 18,0
Range Rover Businessmen, top managers, families with high demands Maximum comfort, status, individualization Very high price, large dimensions 15,8 / 25,0+

If you need urban crossover with a premium brand - choose Evoque. For those who appreciate design and technology above practicality, suitable Velar. Families with children or lovers of active recreation should take a closer look at Range Rover Sport. Well, if the budget is not limited, but the priority is maximum comfort and status, then flagship Range Rover has no alternatives.

💡

Hybrid versions (MHEV/PHEV) will pay off only if the mileage is more than 20,000 km per year. For shorter distances, overpaying for a hybrid system is not practical.

6. Prices and configurations in Russia: what is included in the database?

In 2026, prices for Range Rover in Russia increased by 8-12% compared to 2023. This is due to exchange rates, logistics costs and updating of equipment. Let's look at what is included in the basic versions of each model:

7. Range Rover Alternatives: What Do Competitors Offer?

Despite the unique status Range Rover, there are worthy alternatives on the market from German and Japanese manufacturers. Let's compare them based on key parameters:

  • 🔄 Porsche Cayenne: Better dynamics (acceleration to 100 km/h in 3.9 s in the version Turbo GT), but a less comfortable interior and higher fuel consumption.
  • 🔄 Mercedes-Benz GLE: More technologically advanced (system MBUX with augmented reality), but is inferior in status and maneuverability.
  • 🔄 BMW X5: Optimal balance of price and quality, but less luxurious interior trim.
  • 🔄 Lexus LX: Legendary reliability, but outdated platform and modest interior design.

Main advantage Range Rover before competitors is combination of status, comfort and real cross-country ability. None of the German SUVs boast the same legendary off-road reputation, and Japanese models lack premium finishes. However, if it is important to you reliability, then Lexus LX or Toyota Land Cruiser 300 will be a more rational choice.
