Overview & Reviews

A pair of Jaguar-sourced V8s replaces the BMW unit in the engine bay. One is a 4.4-liter mill with 305 horsepower and the other is a supercharged 4.2 pumping out 400 ponies. Other updates include a slightly revised grille, side vents and lights (front and rear), as well as new wheel choices. Laminated front side windows and revised A-pillars give a quieter ride, while new features such as a rear camera (for park assist) and adaptive headlights increase the luxury quotient.

• Powerful performance with Supercharged model, comfortable ride and handling on and off the pavement, classy yet rugged interior, spacious backseat, high level of off-road capability.

  Good but not great - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Londoner - April 11 - 4:16 pm

  This is my second RR...last was an 02 before the body style change. My 06 RR HSE is great car to look at and drive, but the build quality and issues really do bug me. As a professional software engineer I would be ashamed to ship a product that clearly hasnt been finished and tested properly. The Sirius satellite radio doesnt display the correct station information when you next start the car. Already has a new audio control unit after 2000 miles because last one kept dying...dealer fiddled with it, but eventually had to replace the unit. STILL have a rattle in the car which dealer cant find! I will probably get an 07 RRSC but be aware of quality issues if you want to get a RR.

  She Delivers - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Oregonian - January 12 - 2:00 pm

  This Rover fills all my needs, and does it very charmingly. I ski, and its a champ on the mountain. I haul kids and gear, and it delivers with grace. I tow my boat, and it pulls with ease. I take dirt roads, and it loves it. I go from point A to point B, and this Rover takes me there in style and comfort! However, in return it expects handsome spending habits from its owner. Fair enough.

  Emasculated Range Rover - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Barry - October 1 - 10:03 am

  We recently traded our 2003 RR for the new 06 RR. This may have been a mistake. The biggest complaint has been in the drive train. The 03 RR was based on a BMW V8 from the 740 series. It had 286 hp. The car always seemed to have ample power and acceleration, no matter where you were in the RPM curve. The new 06 is based on a Jaguar/Ford V8. The spec sheet says 305 hp. Frankly, I dont think the engine puts out half that much. It feels anemic, has no pull through the gears. When you finally make the transmission kick-down, the gears seem to have the wrong algorithm. Land Rover probably couldnt afford the price of the BMW powerplant now that it is a Ford company. I miss my 03.

  No comparison - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Gulfvet66 - September 19 - 6:16 pm

  Everyone looks at you differently than if you were driving Lexus (ho-hum, been there done that) Best looking large SUV ever made. Gorgeous color combinations. Averaged 22 hwy when in cruise control. Nav is simple, sound system is amazing. Harmon Kardon 715 watts, Logic 7? Stop it!!!

  Overpriced - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Primal28 - May 29 - 10:43 am

  I began having problems immediately after purchasing the vehicle. The most dangerous problem was the lunging and hesitation (dealership claims it was a software / programming issue). I have experienced near death 5 times now! The navigation, radio, blue tooth & voice recognition malfunctioned and some were never repaired, just disconnected by the dealership. The car was lemon-lawed (hauled off on a flatbed trailer 3 weeks ago) and I still have not received my settlement payment as Land Rover has conveniently misplaced the paperwork. Im still making $1,000 a month car payments and riding a bicycle around town.

  Best Luxury SUV - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Range HSE - May 20 - 1:20 pm

  The Range Rover combines great performance, style and capability. Especially the quality of the interior and the sound of the Harman Kardon system are unmatched by any other luxury SUV. Back seat passengers love the heated rear seats in the wintertime. The bluetooth telephone system connected easily with my iPhone and provided good call clarity (people are mostly unaware that Im speaking with them on the handsfree system). I have found the Range Rover to be surprisingly agile. The cornering ability is impressive for such a large SUV. Driving around town I usually average between 14mpg-15mpg (this is with no highway driving).

  2006 Range Rover - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By two time owner - February 4 - 7:40 pm

  Excellent SUV, if you are looking for the best SUV on the road the Range Rover is it. This is my second Range Rover and it does not disappoint. Compared to the Lexus, and BMW it is the better vehicle and the dealership stands behind the service from delivery to service.

  In a class of its own - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By Love my RR - January 29 - 6:23 am

  Though there are other so-called luxury SUVs, none is as ultimately luxurious and capable as the original, the Range Rover. Ive owned many vehicles and for an all-around do-everything car, the Range Rover is peerless. In almost two years, its only needed regular maintenance - the car doesnt even have a single squeak or rattle, its that solid. I dont normally write reviews on things, and this car compelled me to.

  Drive Around with Class & Style - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By roversocal - July 13 - 11:45 am

  The car is BEAUTIFUL!! I cant believe its mine for only 30k. I just stare it at sometimes. Neighbors think I am noveau riche. People everywhere look at you different when you step out of a Rover. Apart from a new Jag or Rolls Royce there is no other feeling of pride & prestige. Yes, it does have a few reliability issues but my friends who have 2009 and newer have 0 problems but paid 75k. The pros outweigh the cons. If you are thinking about buying 1, do it!! You live only once. Just dont take it as daily commuter and the drive-thru. Use it on weekends on special occassions

  A pleasant surprise - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
  By WB - June 8 - 6:06 pm

  I am very happy with this vehicle and surprised with the mpg -- I have been averaging about 17.5 MPG. Not sure how those getting under 10 are driving... Like any lux car it will need to be maintained but so far after 16 months the car has been very solid. So many opinions expressed about poor reliability that I want to express the opposite. Interior comfort is very high with comfort seats. Ride on the highway is solid and extremely comfortable on long trips. It is a truck so it doesnt corner like my old BMW but this car will go anywhere. Plus the truck is great to look at. Highly recommended!
