What you get when you configure a 2025 Range Rover

A 2025 Range Rover configuration is the set of choices you make about engine, interior materials, technology features, and trim level before you buy or lease one. Land Rover offers the Range Rover in three main trim levels — Standard, HSE, and First Edition — and within each you can select options like leather type, wheel size, paint color, and driver information packages. The configuration process happens either on the Land Rover website, through a dealer, or by phone, and it determines both what the vehicle looks like and what it costs.

Understanding the configuration options matters because the price difference between a base model and a fully loaded one can exceed $30,000, and some popular combinations sell faster than others. If you know what matters to you — fuel economy, towing capacity, interior comfort, or specific tech features — you can build a vehicle that fits your needs rather than paying for options you will not use.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2025 Range Rover comes in three trim levels (Standard, HSE, First Edition), and each trim unlocks different standard features and option packages.
  • Engine choices affect fuel economy and towing capacity: the standard turbocharged four-cylinder gets different mileage than the available V8 or plug-in hybrid options.
  • Interior configurations include leather grades, seat heating and cooling, and dashboard materials that vary by trim and add cost incrementally.
  • Technology packages bundle features like adaptive headlights, surround-view cameras, and premium audio systems, and buying them separately costs more than buying the package.
  • Exterior choices — wheel size, paint finish, roof style — affect both appearance and real-world fuel economy, so larger wheels reduce mileage slightly.

The three trim levels and what comes standard in each

The Standard trim is the entry point and includes a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a 10-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a power liftgate, and dual-zone climate control. It comes with cloth seating, a six-speaker audio system, and basic driver information features like automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping information. The Standard trim does not include a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, or heated seats as standard.

The HSE trim adds leather seating, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, a 12-speaker Meridian audio system, and a power-adjustable steering wheel. It also includes the Terrain Response system, which adjusts the vehicle's handling for different driving conditions like sand, mud, or snow. The HSE comes with 20-inch wheels instead of the Standard's 19-inch wheels.

The First Edition is the highest trim and includes everything in the HSE plus ventilated front seats, a head-up display, a 16-speaker Meridian audio system, and premium leather throughout the interior. It also comes with adaptive LED headlights and a power rear window. First Edition models typically come with 22-inch wheels and unique exterior trim.

Engine and powertrain options

The standard engine across all trims is a 3.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This engine achieves an EPA-estimated 20 miles per gallon city and 26 highway, though real-world mileage varies based on driving habits and configuration choices like wheel size.

An optional 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine is available and produces 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. The V8 improves towing capacity to 7,700 pounds (compared to 5,500 for the four-cylinder) and accelerates faster, but it reduces fuel economy to approximately 17 city and 23 highway. The V8 is available on all three trim levels.

A plug-in hybrid option pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor and a battery pack. This configuration offers an all-electric range of roughly 50 miles on a full charge and can run on gasoline alone for longer trips. The plug-in hybrid costs more upfront than the standard four-cylinder but may lower fuel costs if you charge regularly and drive shorter distances. It is available on HSE and First Edition trims.

Interior and comfort configurations

Leather seat options vary by trim and include standard leather on HSE and above, with upgrades to premium leather or semi-aniline leather available as options. Seat heating is standard on HSE and First Edition; on Standard trim it is an option. Ventilated seats (which cool the seats in hot weather) come standard on First Edition and are an option on HSE.

The steering wheel can be leather-wrapped or wrapped in a combination of leather and suede-like material called Alcantara. Power adjustment of the steering wheel is standard on HSE and above; on Standard it is optional. The dashboard trim can be real wood veneer, open-pore wood, or a matte finish depending on the package you select.

Climate control options include dual-zone (Standard), tri-zone (HSE), or four-zone (First Edition) systems. A heated windshield and heated steering wheel are available as options on all trims. The panoramic sunroof is standard on HSE and First Edition but optional on Standard.

Technology and driver information packages

The base infotainment system includes a 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An upgrade to a 13.1-inch touchscreen is available and includes wireless phone charging and an upgraded graphics interface. A head-up display (which projects speed and navigation onto the windshield) comes standard on First Edition and is optional on HSE and Standard.

Driver information features are bundled into packages rather than sold individually. The standard package includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping information, and blind-spot monitoring. An available Advanced Driver information Package adds adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and traffic sign recognition. A Premium Driver information Package includes those features plus 360-degree surround-view cameras and parking information that can steer the vehicle into a space.

Audio system upgrades range from the standard six-speaker system to a 12-speaker Meridian system (HSE standard) or a 16-speaker Meridian system (First Edition standard). A Meridian Premium Surround system with 24 speakers is available as an option on all trims and includes noise cancellation and spatial audio.

Exterior choices and their real-world impact

Wheel sizes range from 19 inches (Standard trim standard) to 20 inches (HSE standard) to 22 inches (First Edition standard and available on other trims). Larger wheels look more distinctive but reduce fuel economy slightly — a 22-inch wheel configuration may reduce mileage by one to two miles per gallon compared to 19-inch wheels. Tire costs also increase with wheel size.

Paint options include solid colors like Fuji White and Ebony, metallic finishes like Carpathian Grey, and special finishes like Sunset Gold or Firenze Red Pearl. Metallic and special finishes cost more than solid colors. The roof can be body-color or contrasting black on most trims, and a panoramic sunroof is available as noted above.

Exterior trim packages affect the appearance of the grille, door handles, and side vents. The Standard trim has a silver grille; HSE and First Edition have a darker grille. Roof rails come standard on all trims and are body-color or black depending on configuration.

How to build and compare configurations

You can build a configuration on the official Land Rover website by selecting your trim level, then choosing engine, interior materials, technology packages, and exterior options one at a time. The website shows the price after each selection, so you can see how each choice affects the total. You can save your configuration and share it with a dealer or compare it to other configurations you have built.

Dealers can also build configurations for you over the phone or in person and can tell you which options are in stock versus which require ordering. If you order a custom configuration, delivery typically takes 8 to 12 weeks depending on the options and current production schedules. If you want a vehicle sooner, dealers usually have pre-configured inventory on the lot that you can see and test-drive when ready.

When comparing configurations, consider not just the purchase price but also fuel costs (which vary by engine choice and wheel size), insurance costs (which may vary by trim and options), and resale value (which tends to be higher for popular configurations like HSE with the V8 engine).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the plug-in hybrid cost a lot more than the regular four-cylinder?

The plug-in hybrid typically costs $8,000 to $12,000 more than the turbocharged four-cylinder, depending on trim level. Whether that extra cost makes sense depends on how much you drive, whether you have access to a charger at home, and local electricity rates. If you drive mostly short trips and charge daily, the fuel savings may offset the higher purchase price over time.

What is the difference between the HSE and First Edition besides price?

The First Edition adds ventilated seats, a head-up display, a 16-speaker audio system instead of 12 speakers, adaptive LED headlights, and a power rear window. It also comes standard with 22-inch wheels and premium leather. If you do not need those specific features, the HSE with options may give you what you want for less money.

Will a larger wheel size really affect my fuel economy?

Yes, but the effect is modest. Upgrading from 19-inch to 22-inch wheels typically reduces fuel economy by one to two miles per gallon because larger wheels are heavier and create more rolling resistance. Over a year of driving, this difference adds up, but it is usually smaller than the difference between engine choices.

Can I add options after I buy the vehicle?

Some options like upgraded audio systems or driver information packages can be added at a dealer after purchase, though the cost is usually higher than if you had ordered them with the vehicle. Other options like the panoramic sunroof or certain interior trims cannot be added later, so it is worth deciding on those before you buy.

What configuration is most common or easiest to find?

HSE trim with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine, 20-inch wheels, and standard leather is one of the most common configurations because it balances features and price. First Edition models with the V8 are also popular but more expensive. Dealers can tell you which configurations they have in stock and which would require ordering.
