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 4x4xfar - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
By v yepremian - June 12 - 2:00 amDrastic improvement over the older model. The car is smoother, more refined and of oustanding quality. The engine and the ride quality are simply outstanding.

dont purchase... read on - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
By jay - March 30 - 12:53 amIve had my Range Rover for 5 years now, and have had nothing but problems for the last 2 years. Its to the point Im just waiting to see what will break next. Air Suspension went out last month, Steering column adjustment went out last week. Various exterior pieces - left headlamp assembly, side air vent, and tag light are all falling off or the plastic holding it together has broken. Oh yea, reservoir tank cracked 3 months ago and the front end differential broke last year. My family is actually afraid to drive the thing for fear of when it will break down again ( the differential went out on vacation to TN from FL., Dont expect Range Rover to fix out of warranty - 5 yrs. for $80000

Get ready to know your Service Manager - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
By WarEagle Tiger - November 9 - 10:00 amI am a Lexus owner who decided to buy a the 2003 HSE and after owning it for 2+ years I would recommend staying away from this SUV if you are sensitive to dealership repair bills. The HSE is wonderfully appointed and a prize to drive, but it is very temperamental and with over 60 engine sensors- the service engine soon light goes on every three months. To add to this, the labor and parts charges are a college tuition bill. A heavy SUV that burns through brakes every 20K. Be forewarned it will cost you about $2K per year and the dealer will charge you $130 for an oil change.

All Weather Champ - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
By mneil - August 10 - 2:40 pmBought this vehicle used from a non-LR dealer with 35k. It seems that many of these vehicles are now coming off lease and are good bargains, and may still be under warranty (like mine) for at least another year. Dealer has been very helpful. Vehicle is smooth, comfortable, and glides up snowy and slippery roads when other vehicles are left spinning their wheels (although the computer takes over and limits your ability to accelerate). I cant say enough good about this vehicle. It is a comfortable, all weather champion.

ultimate British SUV! - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
By LRlover - July 31 - 10:00 amI just moved to the states from Kloof, South Africa, where Land Rovers are the staple off-road vehicle. They are dependable, long lasting vehicles (more than 80% of every Land Rover ever produced since 1948 is still running on the road today.) I had a 1990 Discovery Td5 which has been the best SUV I have ever owned, until the 2003 Range Rover. Land Rovers offer a unique owning experience that cant be described, you just have to own one to feel it! Drive this vehicle, and you will understand why these British SUVs are revered around the world, especially by the royal family.

Excellent Vehicle - 2003 Land Rover Range Rover
By Range Rover HSE - February 28 - 11:46 pmThis has to be one of the finest automobile experiences Ive had in a very long time. I had spinal surgery several months before my purchase and this was the only car that could give me the confidence to get back on the freeways and streets again. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone contemplating a purchase of one of the best SUVs out there.
