Overview & Reviews
The Range Rover's electronic systems -- navigation, audio and telecommunications -- are all new and completely integrated using fiber optics. The new DVD-based navigation system uses a VGA display, which is brighter and has better resolution than last year's LCD unit. A 4x4 driver interface graphically displays vehicle settings and positions, such as the angle of the front wheels, the suspension setting and the direction of travel. The Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio system has been boosted to 710 watts playing through 14 speakers. A Bluetooth wireless cell phone interface has also been added.
- Comfortable ride and handling on and off the pavement, classy yet rugged interior, spacious backseat, high level of off-road capability.

Dont believe the (negative) hype - 2005 Land Rover Range Rover
By DaTB - October 27 - 12:03 amWe bought this truck a few years ago as a b-day present to replace my husbands aging 01 RR 4.6 HSE. After buying several brand new and slightly used cars, I decided upon a pre-owned, still-under-warranty 05 RR (which is THEE way to go since you let others pay $30k more for the same vehicle to determine if its solid, or a lemon). And this beast is one impressive machine: its amazingly torquey and can induce whiplash if youve got a heavy foot, it has a cavernous interior, gigantic, ultra-comfortable seats, intuitive and well laid out touch screen, insane, gale-force A/C, and unsurpassed build integrity. But, it is anemic at speeds above 30mp & could use a few more tech features. Love it!

a great drive - 2005 Land Rover Range Rover
By luvmyrover - October 6 - 10:33 pmThis is my second Range Rover. My first was a 1995. Love the new body style. The drive is fantastic. It is equal to sitting in a barcalounger and the view out the windows is your tv. It is one of the smoothest vehicles that I drive. I travel 11/2 miles on dirt road, and you would never know I have left the pavement. I have had a few unusual mechanical problems; however the dealership has taken great care of me. Will most likely buy a 2006 or 07.

Great vehicle - 2005 Land Rover Range Rover
By spemberton2000 - September 16 - 9:10 pmIve had the car for a year now, and I have been extremely pleased with it. The dealership have been pretty poor though, and need to work hard to improve their customer service - something they dont seem to want to do. The car though has been superb.

Rodeo Drive meets the Rubicon - 2005 Land Rover Range Rover
By DaTB - July 4 - 2:26 amWe traded in our 2001 Range Rover for a newer model & we found that certified pre-owned is THEE way to go: you have the vehicles service history to see if its a lemon, & we got roughly $35k off the original sticker price. HUGE comfotable seats, both front and back. The height of the driving position is captivating because you feel so in control of not only the vehicle, but all those around you as well. Integration of center console with the dash and the rest of the vehicle is beautiful. Super torquey engine that pins you to your seat but struggles at higher RPMs to haul this monster. This truck rides with more refinement than our previous 02 745i! Storage is ENORMOUS! Highly recommended!

a lot of problems - 2005 Land Rover Range Rover
By dp - April 25 - 7:43 amI have owned high end vehicles and never have I spent so much time at the service depart.The front seat at purchase had threads unraveling (it has been replaced), now a headrest has the same problem. The rear view side mirrors malfunctioned (when you pushed to fold in one went in and one out).The navigation voice controls do not work as well as a mercedes and often do not understand commands. Also, the bluetooth does not work with most bluetooth phones-the screen locks up. Fans that cool the electronics are being replaced(I had to diagnose this prob myself even though 3 people had same prob LR no help, a seal at the windshield which makes road noise.For the money too many prob,more prob not list

Best in the world!!! - 2005 Land Rover Range Rover
By Robert - January 23 - 2:13 amI have owned many SUVs!!! All imports. I had a cayenne for a very short time and an X5 for 2 years. I liked the BMW better than the Porsche but the Range rover has surpassed them both. I looked at these new redesigned models in 2003 and almost pulled the trigger but ended up with the BMW. It was fine but they are a little too common. I wanted something Big and comfortable with a timeless style. I think the Rover really fits the bill. This is the first purchase of a SUV...I have always leased in the past but I want to keep this one for a long while. It has everything I need. I was saddened to see someone trading off for an A8l...it is just a car afterall and audi is hammered on resell.

Read this before buying your Range Rover - 2005 Land Rover Range Rover
By hamid azadegan - January 11 - 1:43 pmThis car has too many on board computers - 27 to be exact (as Ive been told) and mine has had thing go wrong with them which took the dealership three weeks to figure out what was wrong, and still at a little bit over 11k miles I have a list of another eight things that need fixing on my next visit to the dealership.
