Warranty

 

The 2012 Range Rover comes with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty, as well as a six-year/unlimited-mileage warranty that protects against corrosion perforation. Land Rover will also perform your first required one-year/15,000-mile maintenance for free. However, reviewers warn shoppers against Land Rover’s spotty reliability. J.D. Power gives the Land Rover Range Rover a rating of two and a half out of five for overall reliability, and Edmunds expresses serious doubts as well.

  • “Land Rover's spotty reliability also can't be ignored when considering a Range Rover purchase. Whether the company's new owners can amend the record remains to be seen, but in the past the Range Rover has been one of the lowest-ranked vehicles in mechanical reliability.” -- Edmunds
  • “Reliability isn’t a strong suit.” -- Car and Driver
