2018 Land Rover Range Rover: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover gets a major mid-cycle refresh, not a full redesign. The headline change is a thoroughly modernized cabin built around the new Touch Pro Duo twin-screen system.
About the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover
4th generation Range Rover (L405, 2013-2021), mid-cycle refresh year.
Land Rover positions the Range Rover as the original luxury SUV: a full-size flagship that blends genuine off-road ability with a quiet, high-end cabin. What sets it apart is that it is not just a road-focused luxury SUV or just a rugged 4x4. Its identity is the combination of commanding seating position, air-suspension ride comfort, limousine-like rear space on long-wheelbase models, and real terrain hardware that still makes it useful beyond pavement.
The 2018 lineup spans the well-equipped base model, the richer HSE, V8-powered Supercharged and Autobiography trims, and long-wheelbase versions with extra rear legroom. The SVAutobiography Dynamic is the driver-focused flagship, pairing a 557-hp supercharged V8 with a lower, more road-focused suspension, while the SVAutobiography LWB puts the emphasis on lounge-like rear seating.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The main engines carry over, but the SVAutobiography Dynamic’s supercharged V8 receives a stronger tune, rising from 550 to 557 horsepower.
Styling
A refreshed grille, revised bumper details, and updated LED lighting give the exterior a cleaner, newer look.
Safety
Blind-spot monitoring moves from optional to standard on the HSE, Supercharged, and Supercharged LWB. Emergency braking is standard across the lineup.
Tech
Touch Pro Duo brings two dashboard touchscreens, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display becomes standard across the lineup.
Structural
Redesigned seat frames, softer cushioning, and added sound insulation improve seating comfort and reduce cabin noise.
