In the not-so-distant past, Land Rovers were built like tanks and people boasted of their capability as off-road vehicles. They were used by farmers and businesses to tow trailers and transport muddy dogs, dirt-covered boots and heavy equipment. Nowdays Land Rover stands as one of Britain's most iconic automotive manufacturers. Looking at the car of this brand, you might think that their main philosophy is that adventure should be accessible without compromising luxury.

The brand has a rich history and a loyal fan base. From the classic Defender to the luxurious Range Rover, Land Rover vehicles are famous for their off-road capability and elegant design. While the Defender is perhaps its most famous model, the three-row Discovery offers ample space and prestige. For a more affordable option, the Discovery Sport is a great choice. The top-of-the-line Range Rover requires deep pockets but provides big rewards.

Land Rover's commitment to sustainability is evident in its electrification efforts. The brand is introducing plug-in hybrid and fully electric models, such as the Range Rover P500e and the upcoming Range Rover EV, to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly luxury vehicles.

However, like many luxury vehicles, the brand faces some reliability challenges. Range Rovers are about as reliable as most luxury cars, especially those costing six figures. Used Range Rover SUVs can be good, reliable cars, but it definitely pays to research the vehicle you’re looking at. Range Rover takes a few hits with the cost of ownership and average repair costs, but it does well regarding safety features and fuel-efficiency ratings. Although most buyers want a car for its reliability, Range Rovers tend to make the top of the list for their features rather than their ability to hold value.

Therefore, if you are aiming for comfort and luxury, but want to save a little, then it is worth looking for a Land Rover at US auctions.
