1992-2002 Land Rover Range Rover Review
With a design dating back to the 1970s, this British-built luxury sport-utility vehicle came in two forms for '92: base Range Rover and the County. Both 4-door wagons came with a 178-horsepower, 3.9-liter V8 engine, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Permanently engaged 4-wheel drive was standard. Antilock brakes were standard on County models, but unavailable on base Range Rovers.
Year to Year Changes
1993 Land Rover Range Rover: Range Rover of North America changed its name to Land Rover North America, and a Range Rover LWB joined the lineup, as a longer-wheelbase rendition of the County. Base models were gone. The added length increased rear leg room by seven inches. The LWB got an enlarged 4.2-liter version of the aluminum V8, making 200 horsepower. A height-adjustable air suspension system was standard. The standard Range Rover County gained an Electronic Traction Control System.
1994 Land Rover Range Rover: This year, the County model added the electronic air suspension introduced in 1993 on the LWB edition.
1995 Land Rover Range Rover: The County LWB was updated as an early 1995 model, gaining dual airbags and side door-guard beams, as well as a redesigned dashboard. A new 4.0 SE model arrived in mid 1995, with different styling that featured more-rounded corners. The 4.0 SE used a new chassis and electronic air suspension, plus a new 4.0-liter V8 rated at 190 horsepower.
1996 Land Rover Range Rover: A fresh lineup arrived for 1996. The old-fashioned Classic model was dropped and a new flagship went on sale: the 4.6 HSE, with a 225-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine and 18-inch alloy wheels.
1997 Land Rover Range Rover: Only minor changes were evident this year.
1998 Land Rover Range Rover: Changes were minimal for 1998, with the same two models available: 4.0 SE and 4.6 HSE.
1999 Land Rover Range Rover: A new 4-wheel electronic traction-control system went into Range Rovers. During 1999, a small run of high-performance Callaway versions went on sale.
2000 Land Rover Range Rover: Body-colored bumpers and mirrors, and new-look alloy wheels for the base SE model, highlighted changes for 2000. Standard equipment now included auto-dimming outside mirrors, tinted turn-signal lenses, and revised instrument graphics. Several limited-production appearance packages debuted during the 2000 model year.
2001 Land Rover Range Rover: This year, the 4.0 SE adopted the larger V8 engine of the uplevel 4.6 HSE to become a 4.6 SE. Also for 2001, the navigation system added several features designed for off-road use, and HSE got a no-cost "Luxurious Carpets" trim option with special carpeting and seat piping.
2002 Land Rover Range Rover: Land Rover's flagship lost its base 4.6 SE model for 2002, leaving only the top-line 4.6 HSE version. A redesign was in the works for '03.
