2011 Land Rover Range Rover vs. Its Competition

The Lexus LX 570 gets some minor updates for 2011, but it's been essentially the same upgraded Toyota Land Cruiser since 2008.

Off-road performance is very good, though its bland appearance falls short of the competition.

The BMW X5 offers third-row seating, but it's otherwise not at any serious advantage.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, despite its military looks, can be very luxurious.

Cadillac's Escalade offers a more on-road take on the large SUV and flashier looks.

None of these vehicles have the sheer style of the Range Rover, however.

Quick Specs
9.0
The 2011 Land Rover Range Rover is a bit pricey, but it delivers a lot of value, too.
8.4
The 2011 BMW X5 offers impressive handling and features, but lacks the styling and interior that makes competitors pop, while the X5 M offers nearly sports car levels of performance with all the utility of a standard X5.
8.6
The 2011 Cadillac Escalade delivers solid, luxurious, and spacious accommodations with an advanced feature set. If you can live with the thirst of non-Hybrid models, it's unbeatable.
