What is it?
The L460 Range Rover is the fifth-generation flagship, built on the MLA-Flex platform with both standard and long-wheelbase bodies, an optional third row in LWB, and four powertrain families. Ingenium inline-six MHEV diesel (D300, D350), P400e PHEV with around 113 km WLTP EV range, BMW-sourced 4.4L twin-turbo V8 P530 at 390 kW, and the SV LWB Signature Suite at 467 kW. 900 mm wading, 295 mm ground clearance, rear-wheel steering.
The lineup runs from Range Rover SE D300 at $250,427 plus on-roads, through to Range Rover SV LWB at $405,000 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, 150,000 km.
Interior and Technology
Around 113 km WLTP EV range from the P400e PHEV is class-leading on a full-size luxury SUV. 900 mm wading, 295 mm air-suspension ground clearance and Terrain Response 2 deliver genuine off-road capability the rivals cannot match. SV Signature Suite rear seats are the best chauffeur cabin in class. Rear-wheel steering up to 7.3 degrees.
JLR reliability history is still the long-term ownership consideration. P400e PHEV tow drops to 2,500 kg braked. SV LWB pushes past $400k plus on-roads, into Bentley Bentayga territory. 5-year warranty trails the German luxury rivals.

- You want a proven reliability record (Lexus LX, Mercedes GLS), seven seats (Audi Q7, Mercedes GLS), or are not chasing real off-road capability (BMW X7 is faster on tarmac).
- Bespoke commissions and SV options inflate sharply, build the spec carefully before signing. Confirm home charging plan for the 38.2 kWh PHEV battery. The full Range Rover EV is in development but not yet on sale in Australia.
- Top trim climbs to $405,000 plus on-roads.
