Land Rover Warranty Options

Land Rover’s four-year or 50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty is a standard offering in the luxury segment. However, there’s no factory-backed extended powertrain coverage, which is included with some competing brands. So, owners of models like the Range Rover Velar and Land Rover Defender are on their own if repairs are needed after the original warranty has expired. This vulnerability extends to the engine and transmission, which can require costly service work. Endurance Warranty offers vehicle service contracts that protect Land Rover owners against breakdowns and mechanical failures.

Land Rover Reliability

In a recent study, Consumer Reports didn’t assess new and used car reliability for Land Rover, but gave the brand an overall ranking of 30th out of 32 automakers. It’s also one of the few manufacturers not to receive a single model recommendation. In short, reliability isn’t a strong point from Consumer Reports’ point of view. The group says, “Used Land Rovers are risky purchases.”

  Dependability ratings for individual Land Rover models can be challenging to locate, mainly because there aren’t many on the road, unlike Toyotas and Hondas. For its flagship vehicle, the Land Rover Range Rover, J.D. Power quality and reliability rankings fluctuate between average (2022, 2024) and great (2023, 2025) among more recent model years. On the opposite end of the Land Rover spectrum, the entry-level Discovery Sport is rated only for 2016, earning a fair quality and reliability rating from J.D. Power.

  The more upscale Range Rover Evoque also has only a few assessed model years (2012, 2015, and 2020) from J.D. Power, all earning a fair rating. Meanwhile, neither J.D. Power nor Consumer Reports provides a reliability track history for the Discovery, a staple of the Land Rover lineup for many years.
