How much does a Range Rover weigh? The answer is dependent on the model.

Range Rover kerb weight ranges from 1,835kg (1.84 tonnes) for the Range Rover Evoque D165 up to around 2,700kg (2.7 tonnes) for the Range Rover Vogue P440e PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). The Range Rover weight kg varies depending on the model, body size, engine and drive train.

This guide provides exact numbers for all 4 current models, explains the difference between kerb weight and GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) and explains what the weight means for UK towing limits.

Range Rover Weight by Model: UK Figures

The Range Rover kerb weight data for the models below is based on the official Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) specification for Range Rovers sold in the UK. Kerb weight is the weight of the vehicle when it is empty of all fluids, a 75kg driver and no passengers or luggage.

Model	Chassis	Engine Code	Drivetrain	Kerb Weight	GVW
Range Rover Vogue D300	L460	306DT	MHEV Diesel	2,390kg	3,130kg
Range Rover Vogue P440e	L460	306PS + motor	PHEV Petrol	2,700kg	3,400kg
Range Rover Sport D350	L461	30DDTX	MHEV Diesel	2,215kg	2,980kg
Range Rover Sport P460e	L461	306PS + motor	PHEV Petrol	2,490kg	3,200kg
Range Rover Velar D200	L560	204DTA	MHEV Diesel	1,856kg	2,440kg
Range Rover Evoque D165	L551	204DTA	MHEV Diesel	1,835kg	2,425kg

Range Rover Vogue Weight:

The Range Rover Vogue weight in D300 diesel is 2.39 tonnes (2,390kg). The long-wheelbase (LWB) seven-seat version weighs about 90kg more. The Autobiography SV specification has an additional 40-60kg of acoustic glazing and premium trim materials, bringing the total weight to 40-60kg more than the standard SE.

Range Rover Sport Weight:

The Range Rover Sport weight starts at 2,215kg (2.22 tonnes) in D350 MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle). The Sport SV 4.4-litre BMW V8 petrol weighs around 2,310kg. The Sport is 175kg lighter than the same model of the smaller wheelbase and shorter body Vogue D300.

Range Rover Evoque and Velar Weight:

The Range Rover Evoque weight is the lightest in the Range Rover family, with a weight of 1,835kg (1.84 tonnes) in D165 diesel specification. The Range Rover Velar weight is 1,856kg in D200 specification, 21kg heavier than the Evoque, even though it is the same size, because of the acoustic insulation package in the Velar.

Kerb Weight vs Gross Vehicle Weight: What’s the Difference

It is important to understand the difference between KW and GVW.

The Range Rover kerb weight is not the same as the Range Rover gross vehicle weight, and this is a problem when calculating payload or towing limits.

Kerb weight is the vehicle’s weight fully fuelled and ready to drive, but empty of passengers and cargo. The kerb weight of a Range Rover Vogue D300 is 2,390kg.

The Range Rover gross vehicle weight is the maximum weight of the vehicle with all passengers, luggage and accessories. The Range Rover Vogue D300 has a GVW of 3130kg.

The Range Rover payload capacity, the difference between kerb weight and GVW, is therefore 740kg on the Vogue D300. It is illegal to exceed the GVW on UK roads, and insurance is invalid.

The luxury SUV kerb weight comparison across premium competitors puts the Range Rover’s kerb weight into perspective; the BMW X5 xDrive450 weighs 2,245kg, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE450 is 2,205kg. The Range Rover Vogue D300 weighs 2,390kg, which is 145-185kg more than the direct competitors.

This extra weight is largely due to the Range Rover’s permanent 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) system, air suspension equipment and aluminium-bodied construction.

Reason Why Range Rover Models Weigh Different:

How much does a Range Rover weigh gives a different answer for each model, because of four factors:

• Body size and wheelbase: The Vogue LWB is 5,252mm long and weighs a lot more than the Evoque, which is 4,370mm long; each metre of body length is made from structural steel and aluminium.
• The type of engine and drivetrain (306DT, 204DTA) will also affect the weight, with the diesel versions being around 30-40kg heavier than the petrol versions because of the heavier construction of the blocks and the heavier diesel injection components.
• PHEV battery pack: Range Rover PHEV weight is always 200-310kg more than the diesel version of the same model. The 38.2kWh battery pack in the P440e Vogue weighs around 280kg.
• Specification level: Autobiography and SV trims feature acoustic glass, extra insulation layers and heavier seat mechanisms, while the SV specification on the Range Rover Vogue adds around 55kg to the SE trim.

All Range Rover models produced at Solihull have been built with an aluminium body construction, saving around 420kg (926 lbs) compared to equivalent steel body construction, which would have made the Range Rover Vogue D300 weigh in excess of 2,800kg.

The Range Rover Towing Weight and the UK Law:

Range Rover towing weight UK is regulated by 2 limits: the manufacturer’s towing capacity and the UK legal limit for a standard Category B licence of 3,500kg.

Model	Braked Trailer Max	Unbraked Trailer Max	UK Licence Required
Range Rover Vogue D300	3,500kg	750kg	Category B (standard)
Range Rover Sport D350	3,500kg	750kg	Category B (standard)
Range Rover Velar D200	2,200kg	750kg	Category B (standard)
Range Rover Evoque D165	1,800kg	750kg	Category B (standard)

Both the Vogue and Sport hit the UK legal limit of 3,500kg braked trailer weight. The Velar and Evoque are below this limit, and hauling a trailer over the manufacturer’s capacity limit renders the vehicle’s warranty and insurance invalid.

The Range Rover towing weight UK rating is valid for the listed engine version, and the towing capacity decreases with downgrade versions of the same model.
