2025 Range Rover vs. the competition
Compare the New Range Rover to the Luxury SUV Competition
As an original luxury SUV, the iconic Range Rover knows no equal. Still, to be king of the luxury off-roading realm, staying in neutral is not an option. That's why the 2025 Range Rover continues to improve by offering new levels of refinement and responsiveness to surge past the competition. See how the new Range Rover compares to rivals like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and BMW X5.
The Land Rover Cape Fear staff is standing by so you can begin your luxury off-roading journey in the superior option. Dive into our comparison before you get seated in one of the new Range Rover SUVs for sale in Wilmington, NC.
Range Rover vs. Mercedes-Benz G-Class
Performance
Range Rover SV configurations featured at your Wilmington, NC Range Rover dealer churn out 606 horsepower. That tops the AMG® performance variant of the G-Class that only musters 577 horsepower. Base models for each SUV work with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine. The Range Rover has performance outputs of 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, compared to 443 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque for the G-Class. But select Range Rover models - non-SV configurations - can produce up to 523 horsepower. The G-Class is a gas guzzler, only earning 19 miles per gallon. As you take US-70 back to Morehead City, NC in your Range Rover, you'll earn 24 highway miles per gallon.
Capability
You can haul a heavier boat to Myrtle Beach, SC for the weekend with the Range Rover, which has a higher maximum towing capacity of 7,715 pounds, topping the Mercedes-Benz G-Class at 7,000 pounds. Each SUV is equipped with a permanent all-wheel drive system, but the Range Rover features the exclusive configurable Terrain Response®. With eight terrain modes, the Range Rover is better at traversing unknown terrain you may encounter beyond Morehead City, NC. The Range Rover also wins with off-roading capabilities. Explore the outdoors in a Range Rover, which has a superior off-roading ground clearance of 11.6 inches and a maximum wading depth of 35.4 inches. The G-Class maxes out at 9.5 inches of ground clearance and a fording depth of 27.5 inches.
Interior
The new Range Rover gives travelers from Jacksonville, NC more options, with Standard Wheelbase, Long Wheelbase, and seven-seat Long Wheelbase configurations available. The G-Class only seats five travelers. There is 41 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back row of the Range Rover, while the G-Class offers 35 cubic feet. Fit extra travel gear in your Range Rover as you load up in your Wilmington, NC driveway ahead of the weekend adventure.
Generic leather upholstery is standard for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, but you have to upgrade for Nappa leather upholstery. New Range Rover SUVs come with perforated Windsor leather seats for superior comfort. Rear Seat Entertainment for the Range Rover includes an 8-inch touchscreen controller located in the second-row armrest of the Executive Class rear seats. Twin 11.4-inch high-definition screens offer screen mirroring so the kids can watch their favorite films on the ride home to Hampstead, NC in the Range Rover. The MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment System for the G-Class is optional.
Technology
New Range Rover SUVs offer a Meridian™ Signature Sound System with 34 speakers, while the Burmester® 3D Surround Sound System in the G-Class only has 15 speakers. The G-Class features 12.3-inch twin displays for multimedia and digital instruments. Next-generation Pivi Pro - an award-winning infotainment system - incorporates all controls on a singular 13.1-inch touchscreen to offer easy connectivity. This curved floating glass interface of the Range Rover is larger than its rival. A 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display in the Range Rover works in harmony with Pivi Pro.
Range Rover vs. BMW X5
Performance
The Range Rover is the more powerful option. The 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine under the hood of the new Range Rover produces 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque for improved acceleration. X5 40i models work with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo engine that delivers 375 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. Both SUVs offer plug-in hybrid models. Consider the electric hybrid option from Land Rover Cape Fear. With 53 miles of fully electric power, you can begin your journey to Myrtle Beach, SC for the weekend in a Range Rover Electric Hybrid without using any fuel. The X5 PHEV improves its range, but at 38 miles, it still falls short of the Range Rover variant.
Capability
The BMW X5 has a towing capacity of 7,200 pounds. While impressive, this does not surpass the Range Rover's superior towing rating of 7,715 pounds. The X5 offers xDrive - BMW's intelligent all-wheel drive system - but the setup is not standard on base models. Every new Range Rover for sale in Wilmington, NC is a 4x4 vehicle with All Wheel Drive, All Wheel Steering, and Configurable Terrain Response®. The X5 has less than nine inches of ground clearance and possesses no water fording capabilities. Clear obstacles with nearly a foot of ground clearance in the Range Rover, and cross creeks outside Hampstead, NC with ease, thanks to nearly three feet of water fording capability.
Interior
The Range Rover offers seating for up to seven passengers in its secondary Long Wheelbase configuration. Multiple five-passenger configurations for the Range Rover are available, giving Wilmington, NC luxury SUV buyers more options. The Range Rover has more cargo space at 41 cubic feet. There is 34 cubic feet in the five-passenger X5. An exclusive Rear Seat Entertainment in the Range Rover features 11.4-inch high-definition screens to keep little ones entertained.
Expect a more serene ride to events in Jacksonville, NC with next-generation Active Noise Cancellation in the new Range Rover. The X5 cannot counter, and there's no PM 2.5 filtration or nanoe™X technology. Cabin Air Purification Pro in the Range Rover does a better job of removing allergens, bacteria, and odors from the cabin. The new Range Rover offers four-zone Climate Control, compared to Dual Zone Climate Control in the X5.
Technology
While the X5 features the BMW Curved Display combining a 14.9-inch Central Information Display and 12.3-inch instrument cluster, the Range Rover counters with the award-winning Pivi Pro system with a 13.1-inch curved floating glass touchscreen and a 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display. The Meridian™ Signature Sound System in the Range Rover counters the HiFi Sound System in the X5.
