If you’re searching for cars like Range Rover models, you may want a premium SUV that’s less obvious , or you may have owned a Range Rover before and want to try something new.
Whatever your reasoning, our list of cars similar to the Range Rover is here to help .
We’ve found plenty of impressive SUVs, but will they come close to the original?
Sam Sheehan, our motoring editor, took the Range Rover for a spin and said it was: “bigger, plusher and more technologically advanced than ever”.

Cars like the Range Rover
BMW X7
 "BMW X7 front")
You’re here for a big SUV and that’s what the BMW X7 delivers. It’s the largest car in the BMW range and is an incredibly luxurious option.
The Range Rover and X7 are similar in many ways. They both get a full-fat 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 engine if you opt for the range-topper, and both kick out a mysteriously matching 523hp.
They also both weigh in at 2.5 tonnes and offer a 0-62mpg statistic of under five seconds...
So it really is pretty hard to separate the two, but maybe looks alone are enough to swing it?

Mercedes GLS

Another chonker, the Mercedes GLS is the largest SUV the brand makes – sound familiar?
Both cars align on comfort, style and space, but the GLS does feel a little more plush inside and better suited to everyday living. The GLS also comes with seven seats as standard, whereas you'll need to opt for the extra ones in a Range Rover.
The GLS is cheaper than the Range Rover, though that doesn’t make it a bargain. You'll still pay a pretty penny for both cars, though they’re arguably worth it.

Jaguar F-Pace
)
Who doesn’t love a Jaguar? The answer to that used to be ‘anyone under the age of 65 who isn’t retired,’. But not anymore, since Jaguar broadened its appeal with models designed to attract younger audiences.
The F-Pace is a great example of this and one that directly rivals the smaller, five-seater Range Rover.
Sam took the F-Pace for a drive and said: “The SUV comes into its own on curvy country roads, where it handles well, staying composed on the bends.
“The steering is sharp and offers plenty of feedback, and it grips well.
“The larger petrol and diesel engines have more than enough power, with the flagship SVR model covering 0-62mph in just four seconds.”
It also scores a higher mark than the Range Rover for performance, so that’s something to consider.

Porsche Cayenne
 "Porsche Cayenne front three quarters")
Ahh, a Porsche. It doesn’t really get much fancier than driving around in a Porsche Cayenne SUV, and that’s really the leg up it has on the Range Rover.
It’s as spicy as the name suggests and looks to be more reliable than the Range Rover if you check the chatter in forums.
You can have a V8 engine with both the Porsche and the Range, though the latter offers 523hp that beats the 468hp from the Porsche.
There’s also no seven-seat option from the Cayenne, so keep that in mind.
Both feel premium in every way, but is there an extra degree of luxe that comes from the plush Porsche interior? You tell us...

Lexus RX
 "Lexus RX front three quarters")
If you’re drawn to the Range Rover but put off by running costs, the Lexus RX could be your next best pick.
Range Rovers aren’t renowned for fuel economy, with the 3.0-litre diesel offering a 32.5mpg figure that leaves something to be desired.
The Lexus RX is still every bit the luxury SUV, but is now only available as a self-charging hybrid. The RX 450h can achieve up to 44.8mpg - topping the fuel-powered Range Rovers.
There is a fully electric Range Rover in the works, so it might be worth waiting for that if you truly want an efficient Rover (though it’s likely to cost a pretty penny).

Audi Q7
 "Audi Q7 front three quarters")
If seven-seats and a luxury vibe is what makes the Range Rover attractive to you, the Audi Q7 might scratch the same itch.
The Q7 is another roomy choice, with a 295-litre boot that can extend to 865 litres if you fold down the rear seats. That’s roomier than the 212-litre space in the Range Rover, even with the 857 litres achieved with the rear seats down.
Both cars also come as a plug-in hybrid, which adds some extra fuel economy to what are typically very hungry SUVs. The Range Rover offers 75 miles of electric range, while the Q7 offers up to 52 miles.

Mazda CX-80
)
The Mazda CX-80 might not feel quite as luxurious as the Range Rover but, if you can put brand snobbery aside, it’s a great value alternative.
You get solid Japanese reliability, seven-seats, and a full five-star Euro NCAP rating (equaling the Range Rover).
With six or seven seats in place, you’re still getting a 258-litre boot, so it’s a solid, spacious choice.

Interior: 8/10
Performance: 6/10
Practicality: 7/10

Kia Sorento
 "Kia Sorento front")
The Kia Sorento is a great option for a seven-seater SUV at a lower price point that comes with Range Rover-esque looks and a premium feel .
Sam rates the Sorento as proof of ‘Kia’s drive towards producing desirable premium vehicles’.
The interior is where it feels the most in line with the Range. It’s comfortable, with plush seats and plenty of kit (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and reversing cameras all come as standard ), alongside a pair of infotainment and digital instrument screens.
There’s also a plug-in hybrid model, though it’s behind the Range Rover with up to 50 miles of electric range.

Kia EV9
 "Kia EV9")
How does another Kia sound? If you want a Range Rover but don’t want to wait for the new electric model to make its way onto the used market, the EV9 is a great alternative.
It’s got a similar boxy shape to the Range Rover, though some of the alloy designs can be polarising.
Considering it’s a seven-seater car, the 349 miles range is impressive. That will get a lot of families through a full week of school runs and commutes, saving on running costs.
Used EV9s are typically cheaper to buy than Range Rovers as well, depending on the model you choose.

Volvo XC90
 "Volvo XC90")
We won't hear a bad word said about a Volvo – they're reliable, feel premium, and stand the test of time.
If you’re looking for a Range Rover alternative that feels luxurious but can withstand some heavy use – the Volvo XC90 is a top pick.
The interior is plush and spacious, but the Range Rover might feel slightly roomier at the rear if we’re being picky.
Sam says: “The Volvo XC90 is one of our favourite large SUVs. Aside from the cramped third row of seats, it's a very practical family car”.
cinch rating: 4.5/5
Interior: 10/10
Performance: 8/10

BMW iX
 "BMW iX driving")
If there’s one car that might fully blow the Range Rover out the water, it’s the BMW iX.
It’s a chunky SUV that feels a bit like a spaceship, rivalling the classic luxury feel of a Range Rover with something more modern.
Ben Welham, our motoring journalist, fell in love with the iX: “The BMW iX is a bit like the Mona Lisa, you can’t stop staring and are unsure why,” he says
“It’s a behemoth, with an imposing front grille and near-five-metre length. But it’s been given a facelift in 2025, bringing up to 426 miles of range and loads of power.
“My pick of the bunch is the xDrive45 for most people, but if you want 659hp, the M70 is the one to have.”

Range Rover Evoque
 "Range Rover Evoque front three quarters")
And finally, if you’re hot on the Range Rover – have you thought about, well, another Range Rover? We’re offering the Evoque for something smaller but still mighty, in case seven seats is a bit much for your needs.
Technically, the Evoque is a scaled down Range Rover. That means it’s going to feel very similar to its sizeable sibling.
You don’t get the extra row of seats at the back, but you do get a 591-litre boot that beats the standard space of the classic Range Rover when all seats are in use.
It feels nimbler on the road as well, with comfortable suspension and plenty of visibility.
