2016 Land Rover Range Rover review

1. Engine options 

For the 2016 model year, Land Rover refreshes the Range Rover’s powertrain options. Base and HSE models have a 340-hp, supercharged 3.0L V6 engine as standard. If you’re shopping these trims exclusively, you may find some with the new-for-2016 3.0L turbodiesel V6, an attractive available option that can achieve an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined. The 2016 Supercharged and Autobiography Range Rover trims have the supercharged 5.0L V8 engine setup, good for a blistering 510 hp, or 550 hp for the SV Autobiography trim. 

2. Opulent standard features 

Step inside the 2016 Range Rover, and you’ll discover an upscale passenger environment complete with design-led passenger comforts and plenty of advanced technology. Each 2016 Range Rover is generously appointed with deluxe leather upholstery and finely crafted wood accents. An intuitive infotainment system, controlled via voice command or the center console’s eight-inch touchscreen, is your portal to Bluetooth^® connectivity, system navigation, smartphone integration, and the Range Rover’s 13-speaker Meridian^™ audio system.  

3. Robust off-road utility 

Kitted out with everything you’ll need for an outdoor adventure, the 2016 Range Rover is more than adept in challenging terrain, it relishes it. Standard functionality such as four-wheel drive and a driver-selectable Terrain Response^® system should encourage you to confidently off-road through grass, gravel, snow, and sand. For wading through water, the 2016 Range Rover offers 35.4 inches of water clearance, while the new-for-2016 all-terrain progress control function (Supercharged trim onwards) sets your speed for steady progress across challenging surface conditions. 

4. Iconic exterior style 

The Range Rover silhouette has become a modern icon, projecting an air of deluxe utility, and the 2016 model continues that lineage with a fine blend of classic elegance and modern flair. Softly tapered curves accent its broad form. Gloss black pillars hold the sleek roofline, while the clamshell-style rear hatch and hands-free tailgate operation add automated convenience to the overall exterior appeal. 

5. Available options 

With five available trims, two wheelbase lengths and a variety of optional packages to choose from, shopping the 2016 Range Rover offers you plenty of opportunities to find additional features you’ll love. If you’d like to prioritize enhanced driver assistance, the available Driver Assistance package includes an automated self-parking system and traffic sign recognition technology. To elevate your on-the-go entertainment, find a 2016 Range Rover model equipped with the available dual rear-row entertainment screens, or an upgraded Meridian^™ audio system with either 19- or 29-speakers.
