　　The 2024 Land Rover Range Rover broadcasts style and luxury from every angle. This highly evolved SUV is part British elegance, part extroverted muscle and part modern tech. The thing looks like it was hewn from a block of solid steel with rounded edges and smooth, arcing lines. And it drives with a similar solidity.

　　For 2024, Land Rover has made a variety of changes to the Range Rover. Under the hood, the SV trim now comes exclusively with a more powerful turbocharged V8 engine. Called the P615, it makes 606 horsepower. It joins the carryover P530 V8 that has to make do with a mere 523 hp. Land Rover has also upped the power output of the available plug-in hybrid powertrain (now called the P550e) to produce 108 more hp and 133 lb-ft of torque than last year.

　　Of course, Range Rover hasn't forgotten its off-road roots. The Range Rover offers a height-adjustable air suspension, which can yield up to 11.1 inches of ground clearance, though that does seem at odds with its optional 23-inch wheels. Four-wheel steering enables the big SUV to turn sharper than its size would suggest, making parking easier. The 2024 model also offers a new cruise control mode that can be used while off-roading.

　　Inside, the 2024 Range Rover competes with the best in the business for style and finish quality. Though masterfully executed aesthetically, the Rover's abundance of functions are sometimes hard to find or understand. Some improvements to the center screen have been made for 2024, however. The infotainment display now features two permanent sidebars to make navigating the climate controls simpler, and the system now features haptic feedback to help confirm your taps on the screen.

　　Overall, we like this big SUV for its refined elegance and comfort. You can learn a lot more about what our test team thinks by reading our Expert Rating below.

Performance

7.5/10

　　How does the Range Rover drive? We tested the Range Rover SE with the long wheelbase and third-row seating and P400 engine. It's a big SUV, weighing in at nearly 6,000 pounds. In our testing, the SUV reached 60 mph in a remarkable 6.1 seconds. Still, it prefers to be driven leisurely and delivers a comfortable and refined ride. The smooth gear shifts are especially notable.

　　Should you attempt to take your Range Rover off-road, there are a number of capable tools at your disposal, from two locking differentials to a standout maximum ground clearance of over 11 inches, plus five terrain driving modes including Wade for traversing rivers. Feasibility for aggressive off-roading is debatable given its delicate bodywork, but it's still hard to beat this SUV's capabilities at any price.

　　Steering and handling are another issue. The Range Rover is tuned for comfort, which in this case means somewhat loose steering and a suspension that allows noticeable body lean during cornering. The brakes are strong, but some three-row luxury SUVs can stop from 60 mph in a shorter distance. On the plus side, all-wheel steering is standard, meaning the rear wheels will turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels to aid your turning capability at low speeds. It's helpful especially when parking.

　　

Comfort

8.0/10

　　How comfortable is the Range Rover? The Range Rover's standard air suspension is the star of the show. Its ability to provide a luxurious ride over all road surfaces is a delight. Our test vehicle rode on 23-inch wheels, usually a detriment to ride quality and comfort due to the necessary low-profile tires. But the suspension smoothed out nearly all road imperfections.

　　Also impressive are the optional 24-way power-adjustable front seats, and all three rows enjoy supple cushioning and a supportive structure to keep passengers happy. The Range Rover's comfort is betrayed, however, by its underpowered climate control. And while an airtight cabin eliminated outside noise, we noticed creaks and rattles you don't experience with other luxury marques.
