L322 Range Rover Overview

The third generation Range Rover – dubbed L322 – was a huge step for Land Rover, and it was a HUGE step forward from the P38, which was only in production for a short time compared to the L322 and Range Rover Classic. That’s mainly due to the fact that the P38 was a massive cluster of truly awful quality, and while I love the P38, there’s no denying it’s not well built.

This new Range Rover that came out in 2002 was meant to change that, although it suffered from some huge growing pains. One of the biggest of those pains was changing ownership into different companies who really weren’t ready for the challenge that was bringing Land Rover into the modern age.

BMW purchased Rover Group in 1994 and spun off Land Rover into a separate entity, which was a really good move. Ford then bought Land Rover in 2000, and things began to change. Then finally, in 2008, the maker of the world’s cheapest car bought the brand and turned it into Jaguar Land Rover.

When it first came out, the Range Rover used variations of petrol and Diesel engines – ranging from the infamous 4.4 L V8 and the 2.9 TD6. In 2006, though, the L322 started using Jaguar engines for petrol and a TDV8 from Ford.

The one behind me has one of the smoothest and best engines of all time – the 5.0 L V8 from Jaguar with the not so great 6 Speed slushbox transmission.

Skipping ahead a few years from early production, we land in the 2010 facelift. At this point, the Range Rover now has a more sophisticated design, Terrain Response (added a few years earlier), a new infotainment system, and a much more modern look. We also saw one of the first TFT LCD displays used for an instrument cluster, which made the L322 stand out from the rest of the luxury vehicles on the market.

This specific Range Rover L322 has quite a list of options, but it’s still missing quite a few as well. Inside, we have the optional Jet Black interior with black piano style wood. The deep black leather makes the L322 pop. While I love the additional woods available in the third generation Range Rover, the black interior has always been the one that spoke to me. My second choice would be white leather, but that’s impossible to keep clean.

My L322 also has the LUX package at a total cost of $4,600, which included a set of 20 inch aluminum alloy wheels, cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, 14 way adjustable seats, Oxford leather on the seats, door pulls, console lid, and wood trim, autodimming exterior mirrors, and some other additional upgrades.

On top of that, this one is spec’d with the upgraded wood and leather steering wheel, which at the time, according to the window sticker, was $1,000 upgrade. And it’s one that I think was well worth it for the original owner.

The Range Rover L322 was a miss matched cluster of BMW, Ford, and TATA Motors. The interior trim ranges from high quality leathers and woods to cheap BMW and Ford interchangeable pieces. For example, the center trim is lined with beautiful wood, and on the inner part is a cheap awful plastic straight out of shed in the back. The story continues with the trim.

It’s a beautiful leather dashboard, but it’s ruined by Land Rover quality. The rubber piece here is notorious for coming unglued and causing a horrible road noice when not fixed. Interior pieces like the sunvisor clip are also notorious for breaking. So while the L322 is a luxurious 4×4, it’s still a proper Range Rover.
