Range Rover Autobiography.

No — and a buyer should plan around that. The depreciation curve above is anchored on the Autobiography itself and walks down to roughly forty-two percent of MSRP at year five, with a year-three sweet spot flagged on the chart. Per the brand baseline disclosure cited beneath the curve, the full-size Range Rover depreciates faster than the luxury-SUV segment average and materially faster than the Mercedes G-Class. The Autobiography is a car the residual math rewards buying used rather than holding from new — the first three years carry the steepest part of the curve.

Both track the same brand curve in percentage terms; the SV does not escape the full-size Range Rover's steep early depreciation. The SV sits higher in absolute residual because it starts from a higher MSRP, but it also loses more dollars across the same window. Where the SV holds an edge is configuration — a documented SV Bespoke commission has a narrower, more discerning buyer pool than a volume Autobiography spec. On percent of MSRP retained, treat the two as tracking together.

Yes, and it matters more here than on most marques. The curve above flags year three as the point where the steepest depreciation has absorbed. The Land Rover Approved certified pre-owned program extends the factory warranty and includes a multi-point inspection — coverage that carries real weight given the Range Rover's mixed reliability record. For an Autobiography buyer, a year-three Approved car with documented service history is the most defensible entry point; year-one and year-two cars sit ahead of the sharpest residual drop.

Restraint holds value; maximalism does not. A coherently specified Autobiography — a standard or heritage-referenced paint, a disciplined interior combination, the long-wheelbase body where the buyer pool is deepest — sits above an aggressively optioned car with conflicting choices. Powertrain divides the audience: the P530 V8 and the P550e plug-in hybrid appeal to different buyers, and the V8 has tended to carry the broader resale audience. As everywhere in this segment, documentation of the original build is itself a resale axis.

The Autobiography depreciates hardest of the three. The Mercedes-AMG G 63 is the segment outlier — it holds at or near MSRP in its early years on allocation. The Bentley Bentayga tracks the Bentley brand curve, near forty percent of MSRP at year five. The Range Rover Autobiography reaches roughly forty-two percent at year five but gets there on a steeper early curve. The trade-off is entry cost — the Autobiography is materially cheaper to buy than either rival, and a year-three used example is the most cost-efficient way into the full-size luxury-SUV segment.
