Land Rover Range Rover L405

The fourth-generation Range Rover, codenamed L405, debuted for the 2013 model year and represented a major engineering leap. It was the first SUV to feature an all-aluminum monocoque chassis, a move that saved an incredible 926 pounds over its L322 predecessor. This weight reduction improved fuel economy, handling, and performance across a range of powertrains, which included supercharged V6 and V8 gasoline engines alongside V6 and V8 diesels.

The L405 is coveted for its blend of modern luxury and traditional off-road prowess. Inside, it's a significant step up from the L322, with a cleaner design, higher-quality materials, and updated technology, particularly in the 2018-onward facelift models with their dual-screen infotainment. Special editions like the SVAutobiography, with its extended wheelbase and ultra-luxurious appointments, are especially desirable.

With an average sale price under $40,000, early L405s have depreciated into an affordable price bracket for a modern luxury vehicle. However, the market is vast, with low-end examples trading for a few thousand dollars and pristine, late-model SVAutobiography models commanding over $200,000. While most are still depreciating used cars, the model's technical significance and timeless design give it strong future classic potential.

Prices range from as low as $1,000 for examples needing significant work to $233,045 for late-model, top-spec variants.
