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.

A lemon - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
By salyg - December 17 - 10:26 amMy husband purchased this car as a gift. It was a lemon. The engine was cutting off. They added a chip. Altitude problems they said. The navigation system went insane. Another chip was added. The radio got stuck on a single station and woul not turn off. It finally got fixed. the computer system was changing commands by itself...... the car was more at the shop that with us. Finally we got a new car through trade assist. We have has this one for 3 weeks. Engine light came on the other day. they said it was nothing. We will see...

Remember the Yugo? - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
By zpirate - August 24 - 6:23 pmWow, what a mistake! We traded a 04 RR in on the 06 RR. Gosh darn it! We read the reviews on the 2006 just like youre doing, and people seemed to like the vehicle, so we traded. Im sorry for that stupid decision. At least the 04 was decent with the BMW drive. Our 06 is an electronics monster that reared its ugly head when we drove off in it. Weve had nothing but trouble with it. Theyve reprogrammed it and installed software upgrades 12 times and it still surged, shook, vibrated, cut in and out on its own. They cant fix it. We gave up and bought a Mercedes. My suggestion is dont buy one. L/R lost a customer for life.

The worst car Ive ever owned! - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
By John - March 15 - 7:03 pmI love the look of the Range Rover and its very capable off road. Asside from that, this is the most unreliable and frustrating car I have ever owned. I will never buy another one. My service advisors tell me they are "known electrical problems" that they can not fix. Eventually you give up on constantly taking the car back in and live with the headaches.

Disappointed Again - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
By hsm - July 23 - 5:30 amThis was the Range Rover to make amends for the RR problems of the past. It seems it is not to be. Since buying new, Ive had repeated problems with "check coolant" light, oil service reminder that would not reset and now a "Suspension System Fault" that they cannot seem to fix (Land Rovers build problem, my dealer is great). The alarm signal sounds, the message light says drop speed below 30 mph. I think Im done with Land Rover, the is the second lemon Ive had in three model years. Designed well and fun to drive, just dont go too far...the reliability is not what it should be for a car in this price range.

Range Rover - 2006 Land Rover Range Rover
By David S - June 14 - 8:33 amThere is no doubt that the Range Rover (RR) is the best looking SUV, but it is far from the best SUV. In fact, it just may be the worst. When you hear the rumors about the high level of frequency that the RR needs maintenance, believe them. One of the most frustrating attributes of ownership is having an $80,000+ vehicle needing to go in for service every 3 or 4 months. Not only that, but the service department at the dealerships are expecting the maintenance. There are no apologies or concessions offered. I feel that the time spent and the frustration used while owning this vehicle is highly unwarranted.
