Range Rovers lose value faster than the average vehicle. That's a cost for whoever buys new, and an opening for whoever buys second. iSeeCars' 2026 five-year study puts numbers on both sides of that.
Yes. In iSeeCars' 2026 study of more than 950,000 five-year-old vehicles, the Range Rover lost an average of 61.7 percent of its value over five years and the Range Rover Sport 58.3 percent, against 41.8 percent for all vehicles. Part of that loss is behind any two- to four-year-old Range Rover, and a Land Rover Approved certified example adds a 165-point inspection and a certified warranty once factory coverage ends.
As of October 2026. Figures from iSeeCars' 2026 five-year depreciation study, which analyzed more than 950,000 five-year-old vehicles sold in the US between March 2025 and February 2026. "Value retained" is 100 percent minus the depreciation figure.
| Vehicle group | Five-year depreciation | Value retained |
|---|---|---|
| Range Rover | 61.7% | 38.3% |
| Range Rover Sport | 58.3% | 41.7% |
| Land Rover Discovery | 57.9% | 42.1% |
| All SUVs in the study | 44.9% | 55.1% |
| All vehicles in the study | 41.8% | 58.2% |

A five-year depreciation figure describes what the original buyer gives up between the showroom and resale. If you buy a Range Rover at two to four years old, part of that loss is already behind the vehicle, and you still get a modern Range Rover with years of use ahead of it.
Buy certified if it qualifies. A Land Rover Approved Range Rover under five model years old and under 60,000 miles carries a certified warranty of 1 year with unlimited miles or 2 years or 100,000 miles after factory coverage ends.
Check what factory warranty remains. A newer pre-owned Range Rover may still have part of its 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, with certified coverage starting afterward.
Budget for ownership. A lower purchase price leaves room for scheduled maintenance. Land Rover Austin offers prepaid maintenance plans, and our Range Rover maintenance cost guide covers what's typically involved.
In the same study, the Range Rover Sport held its value slightly better than the flagship, losing 58.3 percent over five years against 61.7 percent. Both sit well above the 44.9 percent average for SUVs. The practical difference for a pre-owned buyer is small next to what matters more: the individual vehicle's history, mileage and condition, and whether it qualifies for certification.

Keep every service record. Dated, itemized invoices that follow Land Rover's schedule are what the next buyer and any appraiser will ask for.
Complete open recalls. Recall remedies are free at an authorized Land Rover retailer, and a clean recall record is easy to show.
Trade it in while it still qualifies. A vehicle under five model years old and under 60,000 miles is eligible for an authorized Land Rover retailer to certify, if it passes the 165-point inspection, which gives the next buyer the option of certified coverage. Start with the trade-in tool.

Compare a new Range Rover in new inventory with two- to four-year-old examples in pre-owned inventory, and ask which are certified. If you're financing, start the financing application online before you visit West 5th Street.
iSeeCars' 2026 study found the Range Rover lost an average of 61.7 percent of its value over five years, compared with 41.8 percent for all vehicles in the study.
Slightly. The same study put the Range Rover Sport's five-year depreciation at 58.3 percent, against 61.7 percent for the Range Rover.
For many buyers, yes. A two- to four-year-old Range Rover has already absorbed part of its depreciation, and a Land Rover Approved certified example adds a 165-point inspection and a certified warranty after factory coverage ends.
Keep dated service records that follow Land Rover's schedule, complete any open recalls, and consider selling while the vehicle is still under five model years old and 60,000 miles, so an authorized Land Rover retailer can certify it if it passes the 165-point inspection.
