The Range Rover Electric has just gone on sale, and Discovery Sport production ends in December 2026. Below, every current model is compared on size, seats, powertrains and price, with a short process for narrowing it to the right one.

Quick Answer

The best Land Rover depends on what you need most. For outright luxury and space, the Range Rover (from $113,300). For a sportier five-seat Range Rover, the Range Rover Sport (from $83,700). For rugged capability and the most ground clearance, the Defender (Defender 110 from $65,000). For seven seats at a lower price, the Discovery (from $64,900). For a smaller, more affordable luxury SUV, the Velar (from $61,600) or Evoque (from $49,900). For zero emissions, the new Range Rover Electric (from $138,000). All prices are US starting MSRPs before destination.

Every current Land Rover sold in the US has all-wheel or four-wheel drive as standard. The differences between the models are size, luxury, capability and price, not whether they can handle a snowy morning.

The Range Rover Family: Luxury First

Range Rover

  • The flagship: the most space, quietest ride and most formal cabin
  • Standard or long wheelbase, with seven seats available from $120,700
  • Best for rear-seat passengers and long drives
  • See the Range Rover buyer's guide and trim matrix

Range Rover Sport

  • Five seats, shorter and more agile than the flagship
  • 355 hp to 626 hp, including a 51-mile EPA plug-in hybrid
  • Best for drivers who want Range Rover luxury with sharper handling
  • See the Range Rover Sport guide

Range Rover Velar

  • Mid-size five-seater with the most design-led look in the family
  • Four-cylinder or six-cylinder power
  • Best for style-focused buyers who don't need off-road extremes

Range Rover Evoque

  • The compact entry point to the Range Rover family
  • Two trims: S from $49,900 and Hoxton Edition from $55,100
  • Best for city parking and first-time Land Rover owners

The question we hear most often in this family is the Range Rover vs. the Range Rover Sport. They share a lot of technology. The real differences are cabin space, seating and how each drives, laid out in detail in our Range Rover vs. Range Rover Sport comparison.

New: Range Rover Electric

The first all-electric Range Rover opened for US orders on September 2, 2026, from $138,000. Land Rover quotes up to 542 hp, an EPA-estimated range of up to 333 miles, and a 10-80% charge in around 22 minutes on a 350 kW charger. US deliveries are expected between October and December 2026. It's the choice for buyers who want the full-size Range Rover experience without tailpipe emissions. Full details are in our Range Rover Electric price, range and delivery guide.

Defender: Capability First

The Defender is built around off-road ability and durability. It offers up to 11.5 inches of ground clearance and 900 mm of wading depth with air suspension, and it's the Land Rover to choose if you tow, drive on beaches or trails, or simply want the most rugged option. It comes in three lengths: the short two-door 90, the four-door 110, and the stretched 130 with seating for up to eight. The 2027 Defender 110 starts at $65,000 for the S, with X-Dynamic SE, X, Vertex and Trophy Edition trims above it.

Choosing between lengths is mostly about rear seats and cargo. Our Defender 90 vs. 110 comparison and the full Defender guide cover it in detail.

Discovery: Space and Versatility

The Discovery is Land Rover's family seven-seater: three rows, full off-road hardware and 900 mm wading depth, from $64,900. It suits families who need a real third row without stepping up to a long-wheelbase Range Rover.

Discovery Sport production ends in December 2026

Land Rover will end Discovery Sport production at its Halewood plant in December 2026, as reported by Motor1 and Autocar, while the Evoque and Velar continue. New Discovery Sports will remain on sale until stock runs out, and existing owners keep full warranty and service support. If you're shopping this size of Land Rover, the Evoque is the ongoing entry model. If you want a last new Discovery Sport, ask us what remains in stock.

Match the Model to Your Life

Which Land Rover fits which priority
If you want Look at
The most luxury and space Range Rover, especially long wheelbase
Seven seats for less Discovery, or Defender 110 or 130 with a third row
Sporty driving Range Rover Sport
Most off-road capability Defender
Easiest to park in the city Evoque or Velar
Lowest starting price Evoque ($49,900)
Electric driving Range Rover Electric, or a Range Rover Sport plug-in hybrid
Heavy towing Range Rover Sport V8 (up to 7,716 lb) or Defender

How to Narrow It Down

  • Start with seats If you need a third row regularly, your list is the Discovery, Defender 110 or 130, and long-wheelbase Range Rover. The Discovery Sport's optional third row suits occasional use by children.
  • Then set a budget Starting prices run from $49,900 to $275,000 for the long-wheelbase Range Rover SV Ultra. Options move prices a long way within every model.
  • Be honest about capability Most Long Island driving never needs a Defender's clearance. If you tow, beach-drive or live on a flood-prone street, it's worth it.
  • Drive two back to back A Range Rover Sport and a Defender, or a Velar and an Evoque, feel very different on the same road. That comparison settles most decisions faster than any spec sheet.
