We Recommend
If you would be content with the base V6 engine, we would recommend you to go for the Base trim, as it offers the best features at that price. But if you wish for the much more powerful supercharged V8 engine, the Supercharged trim is the one for you. The powerful engine provides much better performance, while the trim adds bigger wheels and a better terrain response system.
The 2015 Range Rover is available in two engine options. The base is a 3-liter supercharged V6 engine that generates 340 hp along with 332 lb-ft of torque. The second is a much more powerful 5-liter supercharged V8 engine that provides a staggering 510 hp along with 461 lb.ft of torque.
Both the engines are mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers the power to all four wheels as standard. The base engine is lethargic on acceleration with 0-60 mph in 9.2 seconds, while the quarter-mile acceleration takes 17.8 seconds. Thus the Range Rover is the slowest in acceleration in the competition.
