Overview & Reviews

As this is just the third new Range Rover in 31 years, one might hope that the 2003 Range Rover hosts some significant improvements. Indeed it does. Land Rover has focused on improving drivability and livability. As such, this updated flagship SUV features unit body construction, a four-wheel independent suspension and a BMW-engineered V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. It also boasts more interior space, greater ground clearance and a beautifully revised interior.

• Vastly superior to the one it replaces, sumptuous interior, nonpareil off-road capability.

• Price premium, poor reputation for build quality, difficult to use stereo and navigation system.

  This vehicle is a beauty. Big but nice. My husband works for L.R. N.O, I get to see and ride in them all the time, I really like the new range rovers they look like the bubble eye Mercedes or Lexus.

  So they do live up to their Reputation, atleat the 03-05 - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By jma3 - December 16 - 8:53 am

  I bought a beautiful bronze color HSE with 49k miles. All was fine the first year until my second and third year gremlins started taking over- Please get yourself a factory or extended warranty for as long as you own this SUV. Coolant reservoir exploded without warning and light inside cabin came on only after damage was done- coolant hoses explode. Fuel pump, alternator, battery, thermostat, dashboard readout console, navigation, overheating, heater hose, and endless electrical issues ALL went out thru my ownership including headlamps not illuminating at times. My RR left me stranded 4-5 times on the road. I would only get a preowned again with a warrantly no matter the mileage.

  Best of the Best - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By JPMiller - September 27 - 10:00 am

  I have owned the 2003 Range Rover for a bit over 6 months. To date, this has to be the finest vehicle that I have ever owned. It isnt the most expensive, just the finest. The 2003 Range Rover is both responsive and impressively agile (for a large full time four wheel drive vehicle), while maintaining the luxurious aspects of interior comfort that have become a benchmark for all luxury SUVs to attain. I love it! I hope that the current Range Rover designers maintain the spirit under which this vehicle was designed.

  Overpriced/Unreliable - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Jeffrey Thompson - October 27 - 12:50 pm

  When I purchased this vehicle it had only 8k miles...I love the way the car looks but since my purchase it has been one nightmare after another..Ive had to make repairs almost every month..It has many design flows. After five years of owning it I would have to say I will never buy another RR. It is over-priced and over-rated...I made my final payment on it in December..Today is January 20th, I am picking it up from the shop. The cost this time was $5500.00. I hate I bought this vehicle..

  Very costly - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By mlaxiniowa - August 7 - 8:23 pm

  We enjoy this car when its working. However, weve had repeated radiator problems. All repairs are very expensive and service is lacking. Can take up to 6 weeks to get parts.

  2003 Range Rover @ 2200 miles - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Thomas R. - July 22 - 10:00 am

  got rid of my Mercedes ML320, which was totally loaded and had a sticker of $50k when purchased new in 2001. The Ml was nice but was in the shop for a lot of little things that I felt should never have broken. This Range Rover exceeds the ML in all catagories. For style, ride, and shear "show" value. The mercedes is nice but you see them everywhere. When you see a Range Rover , you notice it.

  2003 rRR - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By randy riggs - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I bought the 2003 Range Rover after owning a 2001 Lexus RX300. I wanted a more "real" 4WD auto and one that not everyone had. The RR is that car! It is a very smooth ride on rode and very dependable off. I love the build quality and the BMW influencfe even though now that Ford owns them.

  Only minor problems - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By sam818 - June 14 - 2:00 am

  Great all round; but a few minor problems: steering wheel adjust will not go up/down, radio always reverts to "no tune" after being parked; strange "static" crackle in the voice of the navigation system. Engine and transmission roar is a little more than expected.
