Land Rover and Range Rover models, trims and problems

By CarWhere Research · Updated November 5, 2026

CarWhere’s Land Rover hub collects free research for Land Rover shoppers and owners: 9 model guides (Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Evoque, Defender, Discovery and Discovery Sport), 67 trim levels with dated Land Rover MSRPs, 67 known issues and NHTSA recalls, Land Rover history and VIN tools. Every page lists its sources.

Land Rover sells only SUVs, from the compact Evoque and Discovery Sport to the full-size Range Rover and the Defender, with mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, and the same nameplate can differ a lot by engine, body length and trim. These pages explain what each model, trim and generation offers, what has been recalled, what buyers actually paid, and what to check on a specific vehicle before you buy it.

Who makes Land Rover vehicles?

Land Rover is owned by Tata Motors through its subsidiary JLR (Jaguar Land Rover). The brand began when the Rover Company showed the Series I at the Amsterdam Motor Show on April 30, 1948. BMW bought Rover Group in 1994, Ford bought Land Rover from BMW in 2000, and Tata Motors acquired Jaguar Land Rover from Ford in June 2008.

Land Rover groups its models into three families: Range Rover (Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Evoque), Defender (Defender 90, 110 and 130 body lengths) and Discovery (Discovery and Discovery Sport). Engine codes such as P300 or P400 are Land Rover’s badges for each powertrain, followed by an equipment trim.

How do I check a Land Rover for recalls?

Enter the 17-character VIN on NHTSA’s recall lookup or ask a Land Rover dealer to run it. Recall repairs are free. CarWhere’s known-issues pages list recall campaign numbers by model and generation.

How do I find out what options my Land Rover has?

Start with the paperwork that came with the car. If it is lost, a build sheet reconstructed from the VIN shows factory colors, options and packages where detailed build data exists, and the free VIN decoder shows basics such as engine, body and plant.
