The main difference between Range Rover and Land Rover lies in their positioning and model range.

• Land Rover is the parent brand, renowned for producing robust, versatile off-road vehicles. Several models are marketed under the Land Rover brand, including the Defender, Discovery and Discovery Sport.

• Range Rover is a more luxurious sub-brand of Land Rover. It focuses on high-end vehicles that combine iconic off-road capabilities with luxurious comfort and finishes. With models such as the Range Rover Classic, Range Rover Sport and, more recently, the Range Rover Velar.

The Land Rover Defender is without doubt the brand's most emblematic model. Renowned for its ruggedness and versatility, it has made history as a vehicle capable of conquering any terrain. Its modern versions, like the classic models, continue to embody Land Rover's spirit of adventure and reliability. The Range Rover and Discovery models have also made their mark with their combination of luxury and off-road capability, making every journey a unique experience.

Land Rover maintenance depends on model, age and use. Costs can include regular servicing, checking of the all-wheel drive and changes to specific parts, such as brakes or electronic components. Due to the technical sophistication of some models, it is advisable to call in specialists to ensure that the vehicle remains in good working order. Maintenance costs may be higher than for other vehicles, but this guarantees optimum performance and longer life.

CarJager helps you estimate maintenance costs and plan your purchase for an informed investment.

The Land Rover Discovery and Discovery Sport are particularly suitable for family use. They offer generous interior space, comfortable seats and modern safety technology, all combined with outstanding off-road capabilities. With multiple seating configurations and a large trunk, these models are perfect for long family trips and off-road adventures.

Before buying a Land Rover, whether new, recent or an older model, here are the essential points to check:

History and Maintenance

• Maintenance booklet: Check that regular maintenance has been carried out, preferably by a Land Rover dealer or 4x4 specialist.
• Repair invoices: Ask for invoices to ensure that significant repairs have been carried out, especially on older models.

Bodywork and Corrosion

• Corrosion: Older models (such as the Defender and Discovery) may have corrosion problems, particularly on the chassis, wheel arches and underpinnings.
• Body alignment: Check door and panel alignment for damage or repairs.

Mechanical and Transmission

• Engine: Listen for noises and check for oil leaks. Make sure it starts smoothly, whether hot or cold.
• Transmission and gearbox: Land Rovers have complex transmission systems (4x4, transfer case, etc.). Test the gearbox and shift modes (low gear, differential) to ensure they work properly.
• Suspension: For recent models with air suspension, check that it functions correctly and does not deflate abnormally.

Electronics and Interior

• Electronics: Modern models feature a lot of electronic equipment, so test everything (navigation system, cameras, air conditioning, etc.) to avoid costly repairs.
• Interior: Check the seats, controls and general condition of the interior, especially if it has been used for off-roading.

Road test

• Stability and steering: While driving, make sure that the steering is precise and that the vehicle remains stable.
• Brakes and braking: Test the brakes and listen for any noises.
