So, there's this thing called the
2018 Land Rover Range Rover. But really, that's just what it's called in the realm of automotive websites that need a proper Year, Make and Model to make the
1's and 0's make sense of it. If you know someone who refers to it as a "
Land Rover Range Rover," let us know, we'll send them a scone. Really, what we're talking about is the 2018
Range Rover, the literal range-topping model and an ancestor to the SUV that started the whole luxury off-roader craze in the first place. We just got our first drive of its first
plug-in hybrid version, the 2019 Range Rover 400e.
However, "Range Rover" is also a sub-brand within Land Rover (other sub-brands now include Discovery and the upcoming Defender). Belonging to it, and slotting below the Range Rover (full stop), is the 2018 Range Rover Sport, the 2018 Range Rover Velar and the 2018 Range Rover Evoque.
Confused yet? Well, in case you are, we've come up with the mother of all Range Rover spreadsheets to help things become a little more clear.
There are certainly shared elements among every Range Rover offering, but they are indeed different vehicles. In fact, only the Range Rover and Sport share a common platform and therefore have the most in common. However, the Velar is mechanically related to the
Jaguar F-Pace, while the eldest of the bunch, the Evoque, is loosely related to the old
Land Rover LR2 and therefore a
Ford platform that also underpins most previous-generation
Volvos.
Feature content is also largely shared, especially among the newer, top-three models. This is especially true of the InControl infotainment systems. The newest of the bunch, the Velar, has most recently passed its new dual-screen center console interface up to the ladder. The Evoque continues to make due with a single screen.
