2022 Land Rover Range Rover
Between 2021 and 2022, the biggest updates are an upgraded infotainment system and the option to add a third row if you go with the long wheelbase, which gives it a little more flexibility for families.
There’s also a newer-generation Range Rover available alongside this one in 2022, so just know you’re choosing between the classic body style and a more modern redesign.
- Two full LATCH positions outboard: lower anchors are in both side seats, so you can easily install two car seats without fighting for space
- Tether anchors across the back: all three seats have top tether anchors, which gives you flexibility for forward-facing installs
- Actually workable middle seat: I can squeeze between two installed car seats if I need to, which is a huge win for moms with younger kids
- Good spacing for two seats: fits a forward-facing and rear-facing combo without feeling crammed, which is really what most families need
- Rear-facing fit is decent but tighter: the rear-facing seat works behind a tall driver, just not a ton of extra room, so something to think about if you’re over 6 feet
- Easy movement around car seats: there’s enough clearance to climb in and access the middle, which honestly makes a big difference day to day
- Ceiling vents are a huge win: finally something that actually gets airflow to rear-facing kids instead of blasting their legs
The Exterior
Classic Range Rover Styling That Still Turns Heads
Overall, I mean it’s a Range Rover, so you already know what you’re getting here. It’s one of those cars that just always looks expensive and recognizable, and I do think this one leans a little more sporty with the way it’s styled.
- Iconic front end without the big center logo: the grille is really what catches your eye, and I actually like that the badge is off to the side so you see more of that design
- Very rounded front shape: it’s not aggressive, it’s more smooth and almost soft-looking from the front
- Side profile feels sporty: blacked-out roof, black trim, and no chrome gives it a more modern, slightly sportier look
- Huge wheels make a statement: they really fill out the car and add to that luxury feel
- That signature Range Rover detail on the side: the little four-line accent is one of those things you recognize right away
- Doors are massive: they open really wide, which I always notice as a mom because it makes getting kids in and out so much easier
- Back end is simple and clean: not a ton going on, but I actually appreciate that it’s not overdesigned
- Contrast is what makes it pop: especially with the black roof against the body color, it gives it that elevated, high-end look
So overall, I think it looks exactly how you’d want a Range Rover to look. It’s classic, a little sporty, and definitely still stands out without trying too hard.
First Row
High-End Tech That Takes a Minute to Learn
This interior definitely leans luxury, and you feel that right away. There are screens everywhere, and while it looks really cool, it does take a second to figure out what controls what. Once you get used to it though, it’s actually pretty intuitive.
- Two-screen setup: top screen for navigation and media, bottom for climate and seat controls
- Digital dash + heads-up display: keeps important info right in front of you without looking down
- Physical knobs still included: volume and temperature are easy to grab, which I always appreciate
Comfort Feels Like the Priority Here
I’m not going to lie, this is one of those interiors where you just feel a little spoiled. Everything feels soft, comfortable, and really well done.
- Massaging seats: not intense, but great for longer drives
- Heated seats and steering wheel: interestingly no ventilated seats in this one
- Seats and headrests are very comfortable: you notice it right away
- Panoramic roof: brings in a ton of light and makes the cabin feel bigger
Storage Isn’t Perfect, But It Works
There are some smart ideas here, but also a couple tradeoffs I’d notice as a mom.
- Cupholders and a dedicated phone spot: easy to keep things within reach
- Small extra storage areas up front: good for quick drop items
- Center console is small: because of the cool box, which takes up a lot of space
- Door storage is long but shallow: looks bigger than it actually is
Overall, it feels really premium and comfortable up front. It’s not the most straightforward layout at first, but once you’re used to it, it’s a really nice place to be.
Second Row
This Works Really Well for Two Car Seats and Still Gives You Options
I was honestly impressed with how functional this second row is for car seats. It’s not huge, but it gives you exactly what you need for a typical two-kid setup, and it’s more flexible than I expected.
Lower Anchors in Both Outboard Seats and Tether Anchors Across All Three Seats
You’ve got lower anchors in the two outboard seats, so that’s where you’re installing with LATCH. Then you have top tether anchors for all three seating positions, which gives you flexibility if you’re running a forward-facing seat in the middle.
- Two LATCH positions (outboard): easy installs on both sides without fighting for space
- Three tether anchors across the back: opens up the middle seat for a forward-facing option if needed
Two Car Seats Fit Comfortably Without Feeling Cramped
I had a forward-facing seat on one side and a rear-facing seat on the other, and that’s really the setup most families are going to have.
- Forward + rear-facing combo works well: no issues getting both installed securely
- Spacing is solid for two seats: you’re not dealing with overlapping or awkward installs
- Rear-facing behind a tall driver is doable: I had the driver seat set for my height and it still fit, just not a ton of extra room
You Can Actually Sit Between Two Car Seats If You Need To
This is one of those things I always test, because if you have two little kids, you might want to sit back there.
- Middle seat is usable in a pinch: I could climb in and sit between two installed car seats
- Not super comfortable, but it works: and honestly, that’s a win in this category
Enough Clearance to Move Around and Help Your Kids
One thing I really noticed is how easy it is to get in and out, even with car seats installed.
- Good legroom and knee clearance: makes installs easier and gives you space to move
- You can climb around the seats: which matters if you’re helping kids buckle
Ceiling Vents Make a Huge Difference for Rear-Facing Kids
This is one of my favorite features back here and something you don’t see in a lot of five-passenger SUVs.
- Ceiling vents actually reach rear-facing kids: instead of blowing air at their legs
- Additional vents and climate control below: helps keep airflow consistent
Overall, this second row does exactly what most families need. Two car seats fit well, the hardware is where you want it, and you still have just enough flexibility to make it work day to day.
Third Row
Third Row Is Finally an Option—and It’s Actually Usable
If you go with the long-wheelbase version, you can now get a third row, which is a big deal for this car. It finally puts it in the same category as other three-row luxury SUVs, and it’s not just for show.
- Genuinely usable space: about 34 inches of legroom, which is actually decent for older kids or occasional adults
- Power-folding seats: both rear rows can fold down electronically, which makes it really easy to switch between passengers and cargo
- Nicer features than most third rows: padded armrests, vents, and even seat heaters back there
Trunk
Mid-Size Trunk That Just Works for Everyday Life
This is a really practical trunk for a two-row luxury SUV. It’s not oversized, but it gives you enough space to not think too hard about what you’re loading in, which is honestly what most families need.
With about 32 cubic feet behind the second row, it sits right in the middle of this category. That’s very comparable to something like a BMW X5 or Range Rover Sport, so you’re not gaining or losing space here, just getting a solid, expected amount.
- Fits a stroller + groceries easily: you’re not playing Tetris every time you load it up
- Wide opening and flat floor: makes it easy to slide things in and out without lifting awkwardly
- Power-folding second row from the trunk: super helpful when your hands are full
- “Watermelon catcher” cargo barrier: keeps groceries from rolling out when you open the trunk
- Good lighting and an outlet back here: small things, but they make a difference
If you need more space, the long-wheelbase 2022 with a third row gives you more flexibility, but for a two-row setup, this is very practical.
Safety
Safety Features Cover the Basics and Then Some
This is one of those cars where you’re getting all the safety tech you’d expect in a luxury SUV. Nothing feels missing, and it all works in the background without being distracting.
- Forward collision warning + emergency braking: standard features you want, especially for stop-and-go driving
- Blind spot monitoring: helpful for a car this size where visibility can be tricky
- Adaptive cruise control: makes longer drives a lot easier
- Heads-up display: keeps your speed and alerts in your line of sight instead of looking down
Pretensioners Are Where You Want Them for a Family Setup
This is something I always pay attention to, especially with kids in the car.
- Front seats have seat belt pretensioners: helps tighten the belt instantly in a crash
- Outboard second row seats also have pretensioners: important if you’re installing car seats on either side
Overall, it has the safety features you expect, and the placement of things like pretensioners supports how families are actually using the car day to day.
Car Seat Setup That Works Well for Two Kids and Gives You Some Flexibility
This is a really practical setup for most families. You’re getting what you’d expect in a two-row SUV, but it’s executed in a way that actually makes installs and day-to-day use feel manageable.
- Lower anchors in both outboard seats: this is where you’ll install using LATCH, and both sides are easy to access
- Top tether anchors for all three seats: gives you the option to run a forward-facing seat in any position, including the middle
- Two car seats fit comfortably: I tested a forward-facing and a rear-facing seat, and both installed without crowding each other
- Middle seat is usable if needed: I was able to climb in between two car seats, which is tight but really helpful with younger kids
- Rear-facing fit is decent behind a tall driver: it works at around six feet, just without a ton of extra space
- Enough room to move around the seats: makes it easier to get in, help buckle, or adjust things without feeling stuck
Overall, this is a two-car-seat-friendly setup that gives you just enough flexibility to make it work for everyday family life.
