2017 Land Rover Range Rover: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2017 Range Rover is the new SVAutobiography Dynamic, a short-wheelbase performance flagship with a 550-hp supercharged V8. The rest of the range receives a light update centered on a larger standard touchscreen and wider use of standard lane-departure warning.
About the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover
4th generation (L405, 2013-2021), fifth model year and the last model year before the major 2018 refresh.
Land Rover positions the Range Rover as its flagship luxury SUV: a vehicle that delivers a quiet, richly finished cabin and real off-road ability in the same package. That dual personality is its core difference versus most large luxury SUVs. It is meant to feel equally at home as long-distance family transport, formal luxury transportation, and a genuine all-terrain vehicle, helped by standard four-wheel drive and height-adjustable air suspension.
The 2017 Range Rover lineup spans understated luxury, extra-roomy long-wheelbase models, and two distinct flagships. The SVAutobiography Dynamic pairs a 550-hp V8 with lowered, performance-tuned air suspension, while the SVAutobiography LWB emphasizes rear-seat comfort with reclining executive seats, rear tables, and a cooler in the center console. More mainstream versions retain full-time four-wheel drive and height-adjustable air suspension, and every trim has a 10.2-inch touchscreen with navigation.

2017 Land Rover Range Rover

“Land Rover Evoque is the perfect vehicle. It's very stylish and professional looking without being a huge vehicle to drive in tight traffic or park. Controls within touch, adequate seating and cargo area for my needs. Great handling on the highway with wonderful gas mileage and driver/passenger seat heating, and steering wheel heating.”
“Make sure this car is really worth what you are paying for it. Seems a little overpriced for what you get. The phone and navigation are not easy to connect and use. The Land Rover App for remote start always has to be password re-set. Heating system is kind of of weak.... make sure you get seat heaters. People love they way the RR sport looks, I always get a thumbs up with it.”
