“The Range Rover Velar is a beautiful car. It is a pleasure to drive. Configuring features is very difficult and I have had to internet search how to simple things like pull my mirrors in. The outside styling is beautiful but also feels cheap and does not always look aligned.”
2021 Land Rover Range Rover: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2021 Land Rover Range Rover is a light trim-update year, led by the limited Autobiography Fifty celebrating the model’s 50th anniversary. The broader fourth-generation SUV carries over without a full redesign.
About the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover
4th generation (L405, 2013-2021), final model year before the 2022 fifth-generation redesign
The 2021 Range Rover is Land Rover’s full-size luxury SUV, built around a quiet cabin, air-suspension comfort, elevated seating, and genuine low-range off-road hardware. Its defining advantage is the combination of limousine-like seating and materials with permanent 4WD, adjustable ride height, deep-water capability, and terrain-specific drive settings. Standard- and long-wheelbase bodies serve drivers who prioritize either easier maneuvering or greater rear-seat space.
The P360 is the core version, pairing a mild-hybrid six-cylinder engine with air suspension, permanent four-wheel drive and dual 10-inch touchscreens. Westminster editions emphasize comfort and driver assistance, while Autobiography trims add features such as massaging seats, executive-style rear seating and premium audio. V8-powered and long-wheelbase versions provide stronger performance or about 7.3 inches of additional rear legroom.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The Td6 diesel trim was dropped. The P400e HSE and Autobiography changed from plug-in-hybrid power to hybrid power.
Styling
The numbered Autobiography Fifty joined in standard- and long-wheelbase forms with anniversary-specific exterior and cabin details. The SVAutobiography Dynamic Black added a coordinated special-edition appearance. P400 HSE and P525 HSE were renamed Westminster Editions, while a P525 Westminster long-wheelbase trim joined as the prior P525 HSE LWB left the lineup. Alloy wheels became standard on HSE Td6.
Safety
Westminster editions gained adaptive cruise control and expanded parking assistance as standard equipment.
Tech
Westminster editions added cooled front seats, a refrigerated console, four-zone climate control, upgraded surround audio and a head-up display. Fine-particle cabin-air filtration was introduced on some versions, and premium audio became standard on HSE Td6.

No. The 2021 Range Rover is the final model year of the fourth-generation L405, while the fully redesigned fifth-generation Range Rover arrived for 2022.
Did the HSE trims change for the 2021 Range Rover?
Yes. The P400 HSE and P525 HSE were renamed Westminster Editions and received added comfort, audio, climate, display and driver-assistance equipment. A long-wheelbase P525 Westminster also joined the lineup.
What is special about the 2021 Range Rover Autobiography Fifty?
The Autobiography Fifty is a numbered 50th-anniversary edition limited to 1,970 vehicles worldwide, reflecting the Range Rover’s 1970 launch. It adds anniversary-specific exterior and cabin details, a leather headliner and household-style power outlets to the V8 Autobiography equipment.
Is the 2021 Range Rover substantially different from the 2020 model?
No. The 2021 model is mainly a trim and special-edition update, not a mechanical or structural overhaul. It is most distinct for its Fifty, Westminster and Dynamic Black versions; much of the underlying fourth-generation Range Rover carries over.
