2026 Land Rover Range Rover: Solon Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Range Rover at a Glance
Four trims for 2026: SE starts at $113,300, Autobiography at $158,900, SV at $219,200, and SV Black at $238,600, each before the $2,450 destination charge. That SE number covers more ground than it looks like at first glance — it's the base P400 six-cylinder in the short-wheelbase five-seat body, but SE is also sold as a long-wheelbase seven-seater, as the P550e plug-in hybrid, and with the V8. Every 2026 Range Rover, every trim, every engine, comes standard with all-wheel drive and adjustable air suspension. SV and SV Black step up to a 606-607-horsepower twin-turbo V8 found nowhere else in the lineup. Land Rover Solon, part of the Davis Automotive Group since 1991, has the current lineup at 6137 Kruse Drive.
Why SE and Autobiography aren't single vehicles
Most SUV trim ladders map one badge to one engine and one body. Range Rover doesn't work that way for its bottom two trims, and it catches shoppers comparing listings off guard. SE is a comfort-and-equipment level, not an engine choice — it starts as the standard P400 six-cylinder in the short-wheelbase five-seat body at $113,300, but the same SE badge also covers a long-wheelbase seven-seater, the plug-in hybrid, and the V8, each priced on its own. Autobiography is built the same way, starting at $158,900 for the P550e plug-in hybrid and climbing from there once the V8 gets added, in either wheelbase. SV and SV Black cut through that complexity: both come with the 606-607-horsepower P615 V8 as the only engine offered, short- or long-wheelbase, five seats always. Whichever way a buyer configures it, the air suspension and all-wheel drive underneath stay standard across every single combination.
Land Rover Solon has been part of Northeast Ohio since 1991 as part of the family-owned Davis Automotive Group, serving Solon, Cleveland, Hudson, Beachwood, Aurora, and Akron. The dealership's own service department, staffed with factory-trained technicians, has been doing this work in the same Kruse Drive location since the beginning — long enough to know exactly what a Northeast Ohio winter does to a luxury SUV's undercarriage.
The engine lineup, trim by trim
Four engines cover the whole range. The standard P400 is a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder with mild-hybrid assist, 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft, good for a 5.5-second run to 60 and an EPA-rated 19 city / 24 highway / 21 combined on premium gas — it's the only engine offered on SE at the base price point. Step up within SE or Autobiography and there's the P550e, a plug-in hybrid pairing that same six-cylinder with an electric motor for roughly 543 horsepower combined and about 21 miles of EPA-estimated electric-only range before it switches to premium gas; it's only ever sold in the short-wheelbase body, never the seven-seat or long-wheelbase versions. The P530 V8 (523 hp) is the other SE/Autobiography option, and the P615 (606-607 hp) is reserved entirely for SV and SV Black. None of the four asks for anything but premium fuel, and none of them skips the 8-speed automatic or the standard AWD.

What Range Rover owners say about this store
Eric R. summed it up in one line: "This is the best Range Rover in northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania." That's the kind of thing people only say once they've actually shopped around. On the service side, dea w. wrote about a recent visit: "I had a great experience with the service department at Range Rover Solon. James was professional, helpful, and kept me informed throughout the process. I especially appreciated that while diagnosing my vehicle, they identified and addressed an additional issue without charging me another diagnostic fee. Thank you, James, and the Range Rover Solon service team for taking good care of my vehicle." Land Rover Solon's overall Google rating sits at 4.66 across roughly 836 reviews.
Living with a Range Rover in Northeast Ohio
Every 2026 Range Rover carries Land Rover's New Vehicle Limited Warranty: 4 years or 50,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and on the powertrain, plus 6 years/unlimited miles against corrosion. It does not include complimentary scheduled maintenance the way a couple of competitors do, worth knowing before budgeting the first few years of ownership. Cuyahoga County winters are hard on any vehicle — road salt, freeze-thaw potholes, cold starts — and a Range Rover's air suspension and underbody components aren't exempt. The Range Rover service & repair guide below gets into what that actually means for maintenance, and the pricing & leasing guide covers what a Range Rover runs once Ohio's sales tax gets added.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Range Rover changing for 2026?
Mechanically, no major changes from the prior model year — SE, Autobiography, SV, and SV Black carry the same trim structure and engine lineup. What's worth knowing is that 2026 is the final model year of this generation before Land Rover's next-generation Range Rover refresh, so buyers cross-shopping model years should confirm which generation a listing actually describes.
What should I expect to pay for a 2026 Range Rover?
Start with the trim and configuration MSRP, from $113,300 for a base SE up to $238,600 for SV Black (and higher still for long-wheelbase and V8 SE/Autobiography configurations), add the $2,450 destination charge, then Ohio's sales tax and title fees. A written quote from Land Rover Solon's new inventory is the number that actually matters, since window pricing moves with configuration.
Is a Range Rover a reliable luxury SUV?
It's a mixed picture, honestly, and worth going in with eyes open. Land Rover's reliability reputation has historically lagged some German and Japanese luxury rivals, though recent model years have generally improved. Keeping to the factory maintenance schedule at an authorized dealer, rather than skipping visits, is the single biggest factor in how a Range Rover holds up over time.
What's the difference between SE and Autobiography?
SE is the base equipment level; Autobiography adds a step up in interior materials and comfort features and is positioned as the primary luxury trim, though the two share some of the same available engines (the P400 is SE-only, while both offer the P550e plug-in hybrid and P530 V8 depending on configuration). Neither is the performance trim — that's SV and SV Black, built around the V8-only P615.
Can I get a seven-seat Range Rover?
Yes, but only on SE and Autobiography in the long-wheelbase body. SV and SV Black are five-seat only, in either wheelbase. If a third row matters, confirm the LWB 7-seat configuration specifically when shopping, since it's easy to assume any long-wheelbase Range Rover seats seven.
