True cost of owning a Range Rover in the UK (2026)
Range Rovers are aspirational, capable and extraordinarily expensive to keep on the road. Steep depreciation, premium insurance and specialist servicing combine to make this one of the most punishing cost-of-ownership profiles in the UK market.
Frequently asked questions
Are Range Rovers reliable?
Reliability has historically been the weak point — air suspension, electronics and infotainment are common failure areas. The latest generation has improved but still trails German rivals.
Why are Range Rover insurance premiums so high?
High value, expensive parts and a strong target profile for organised theft push premiums up. Tracker installation and secure overnight parking are often required by insurers.
How much does Range Rover servicing cost?
Main dealer service plans run £900–£1,500/year for a typical Sport or Velar, with major services costing £1,500+ on the full-size Range Rover.
How quickly does a Range Rover depreciate?
Expect 20–25% in year one and 50–60% over three years. Special editions and limited-spec models hold value better than mainstream trims.
