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.

  Best SUV or vehicle around!!! - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By RRL - March 7 - 10:00 am

  After a long and extensive search for a new vehicle, I finally decided on the New 2003 Range Rover. It is everything that I or anyone, for that matter, want in a vehicle. Land Rover, out did themselves on this one. It drives better than a MB S500 and just as quiet and comfortable as a Lexus LS 430. The best part is that I can take it ANYWHERE if I wanted to...

  Love my Rover - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Rover20171 - February 13 - 10:00 am

  I have had my rover for a few months now. I originally looked in this market 2.5 years ago when my lease on my Jeep Cherokee was up. Looked @ X5 and RR. Ended up with a slightly used RR. Liked the fit/finish of the X5, but was turned off when sales guy got spastic when I tried to go over a curb. Was also pleased with my choice then- especially when I sw my neighbor with snow chains on her X5 this winter. The 03 brought the BMW fit/finish to my rugged ride. While doing so, it also cleaned up most of the 00s quirks and gave me a killer engine to boot.

  Overpriced Never Ending Nightmare - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By cdjudd - January 8 - 4:06 am

  I had always been a fan of Range Rovers since I was young, and who wouldnt be. I figured surely after all the rumors of the quality control issue they had surely lined that out with the new models. That is just not the case. If anything they have become worse. They run the "certified pre- owned" crap making you think they will stand behind it. Thats non-sense. From the minute I drove it off the lot it was nothing but a nightmare. Electrical issues became a daily routine. Lights flickering on and off. Then transmission issues of all things. All these things in which they try to fix but when not successful they then throw it back in your face and offer no more help.

  Spend wisely and buy a Trail Blazer - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By AAOct2002 - January 7 - 2:00 am

  First off, my truck was in the shop SEVEN times since it was deliverd to me in 09/02. Repair visits 1-3 involved the same steering and seating electrical problem. Repair visits 4-7 involved the navigation system, which was STILL FAULTY after I sold the truck. The Nav voice system would NEVER work. Of course I took this matter up with Land Rover USA and the Dealership and neither did a thing except apologize, schedule another repair visit and give me an Enterprise rent-a-car for the seventh time. As a matter of fact, that is when I drove the Trail Blazer and WOW!!!! What a truck!

  Congratulations Land Rover! - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By BL - November 24 - 2:00 am

  The 2003 Range Rover is for all of the devoted Range Rover fans that have stuck by this company through the years. Now that Land Rover is able to provide their customers with the most extreme capability, luxury, and unquestionable dependability (thanks BMW), maybe everyone else will finally catch the Land Rover bug! Ive had my 03 Range Rover for 3 months and I cannot think of one thing I would change or complain about. For all of those nit picky people that think otherwise, go drive a G-wagon and see how this awesome machine outshines everything that tries to compete with it. Cheers to the Brits for an amazing accomplishment!

  2003 Range Rover - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By tomh - October 4 - 11:20 pm

  Second owner of vehicle. Purchased at dealership. Fell in love with it from moment we drove it. Went to look at the LR3 and saw the new body style and knew of the partnering of BMW and Range Rover. It was all over after the test drive. The engine is the same as the one in the 7-series BMWs. Great pickup and when cruising feels like one is floating over the road. We purchased the extended warranty to be safe re any major repairs. Overall the mechanical issues have been minor. Had one incident with the drivetrain yet all covered under the warranty. Have had one "major" service and was pretty costly. Overall very pleased and would buy again. Definitely would encourage buy the extended warranty

  Drivetrain / Transimission Breakdown - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By mjhanold - June 20 - 2:00 am

  I spend three hours per day (90 minutes each way to work) in the vehicle, and have really been pleased with the expereince, performance, design, and to my surprise, the fuel economy (16.5 mpg). However, my disappointment comes after losing the transmission and drivetrain through basic highway driving, and of course Im 4,000 miles over my warranty for this 1 year old car. Ive placed tremendous miles on vehicles, but Ive never had one with such dramatic breakdowns so quickly, and worst yet, Ive never spent so much on a vehicle!

  If you drive it..you will buy it...!!! - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Gaven Smith - May 20 - 10:00 am

  After seeing one of these new Rover designs I quickly buzzed right over to the dealership. I fortunatly got a sales person that was in full knowledge of the new vs. the old. WOW...what a change. Being a past BMW owner it has all the fun things I loved, and many more. This is my 5th full size SUV. Most of which high end. This one takes top honors with me. I tow a 3000 pound boat each weekend, and she tows it like its not there. Breaking...is amazing. Without being in tow she cranks out some speed and handling. The down hill decent is nice feature. I have tried this SUV in as many akward positions as possible. NO Worries. It just wants more.
