Pull up to the valet on Brickell in almost any luxury SUV and you’ll get a polite nod. Pull up in a Range Rover and the guy behind you in the Bentayga will crane his neck. That’s the kind of authority this vehicle has carried for decades, and the 2026 model does absolutely nothing to change that.
I’ve been driving cars on these streets for decades, and few vehicles feel as right for Miami as the Range Rover. It floats over the pavement of Wynwood, doesn’t flinch in the standing water on suburban roads after a July thunderstorm and looks like it belongs on the cover of an architecture magazine.
A new SV Black trim level adds dark styling elements inside and out for 2026, but there are otherwise no major changes to the Range Rover for the new model year. It comes with Narvik Gloss Black paint, black badges, a black grille, black 23-inch wheels, black perforated semi-aniline leather upholstery and a satin black ceramic gear shifter. Spotted on Ocean Drive at dusk, it’s a rolling piece of sculpture.
Land Rover offers four engine options: a turbocharged inline-six (P400) makes 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque while delivering 19 miles per gallon in the city and 24 on the highway. The P550e adds a plug-in hybrid system, boosting output to 543 hp. The P530 is a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 generating 523 hp and 553 lb-ft.
For South Florida buyers, the P550e is the sweet spot. It’s rated at up to 50 MPGe combined. In stop-and-go on I-95, you’ll run on electrons. When you merge onto the Palmetto, 543 horsepower answers without clearing its throat.
The base SE comes with a 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 13.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Meridian audio system, and a wireless charging pad.
Standard across all trims: forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, blind spot intervention, rear cross-traffic alert, automated parking, a 360-degree camera system, and front and rear parking sensors.
The 2026 Range Rover spans more than 10 configurations, from the P400 SE at $115,450 to the P615 SV Black LWB at $263,050. There’s a Range Rover for the Brickell condo dweller and the Star Island estate owner alike.
The 2026 Range Rover is impossibly good-looking, stratospherically comfortable, and genuinely capable of going anywhere, which in Miami means both the Everglades and the valet line at Komodo. I enjoyed driving it, but give it a spin and tell me what you think.
