The fifth-generation Land Rover Range Rover (L460), launched in 2022, is based on the new MLA-Flex modular architecture. It represents the pinnacle of luxury and refinement at Land Rover, offering for the first time a 7-seat option and standard rear-wheel steering. While the design evolves smoothly with a very sleek style (notably the 'boat tail' rear and hidden lights), the onboard technology takes a leap forward. Historically, electronic and pneumatic reliability has always been the Achilles' heel of the Range Rover. On this L460 generation, the internal combustion engines (notably the excellent Ingenium inline-6 diesels) prove to be mechanically robust, but the vehicle remains penalized by software bugs (Pivi Pro system) and early production recalls related to assembly.

The Range Rover L460 is arguably the most accomplished luxury SUV in the world in terms of comfort, design, and versatility. However, it remains true to the brand's reputation: its electronic reliability and early production assemblies leave room for improvement, as evidenced by the long list of official recalls. Diesel Focus: Against all odds in the era of electrification, the inline-6 diesel engines (D300 and D350) are the most logical choices for this behemoth. They offer truck-like torque, reasonable fuel consumption (8.5L - 10L/100km), and superior mechanical reliability compared to the complex plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions. Buying advice: Only buy this vehicle with an extended manufacturer warranty (ideally 5 years) and ensure that all recalls (especially on the oil circuit and cameras) have been performed. Avoid the very first production 2022 models.
