Range Rover Leasing

Choose the cabin layout before the trim

A Range Rover enquiry starts with who will use the rear seats. If most journeys involve a driver and one or two passengers, begin with the Standard Wheelbase. If rear passenger space is the reason for choosing the car, compare the Long Wheelbase cabin and its exact seat specification. If you regularly carry more people, name the Long Wheelbase Seven Seats explicitly.

Long Wheelbase does not automatically mean seven seats. Nor does Autobiography or SV describe a single seating arrangement. Executive seating, centre consoles and optional cabin equipment can change how the space works. Tell us about child seats, adult passengers and luggage together, so the quote describes the layout you actually need.

Range Rover leasing: key facts

• Range Rover offers Standard Wheelbase, Long Wheelbase and a separate Long Wheelbase Seven Seats body configuration; the trim name alone does not identify the seating layout.
• The UK 2026 technical specification gives a standard overall length of 5,052 mm for SWB and 5,252 mm for both LWB layouts. Check optional equipment and the exact vehicle before measuring a garage.
• Published width is 2,209 mm with mirrors out, or 2,047 mm folded, in the UK 2026 dimensions sheet. Allow extra room to open doors and manoeuvre.
• The Long Wheelbase P460e is specified with 5 seats in the UK 2026 technical sheet. Do not treat a plug-in hybrid as the seven-seat version.
• The published kerb-to-kerb turning circle is 10.95 m for SWB and 11.54 m for LWB in the UK 2026 sheet; parking access still depends on surrounding space.
• For the LWB seven-seat layout, published boot capacity behind the third row is 212 litres dry, measured using solid blocks. This is not the larger volume quoted with the rear seats folded.
• GOV.UK: the maximum company-car BiK band is 37% in 2026/27 and 39% in 2029/30; the exact car can fall in a lower band.

Compare the Range Rover options

Plug-in hybrid, electric or mild hybrid? Start with your week

A plug-in hybrid is worth considering when you can recharge regularly and want electric driving for part of your routine while retaining a petrol engine for longer trips. Work through your ordinary journeys and charging access first. A PHEV badge on its own does not establish running costs or company-car tax.

Range Rover Electric is a separate powertrain choice within the Range Rover model family. It depends on charging for every journey. Ask for a plan covering home or workplace charging, longer journeys and towing before choosing the exact electric derivative. Manufacturer specifications and the vehicle shown in a quote must agree.

A mild hybrid still uses its combustion engine and is not a plug-in car. For drivers covering frequent long journeys without dependable charging, it remains a different practical option to assess. Compare total costs over the proposed term, including fuel or electricity, insurance, tax and any maintenance package.

Test the parts of ownership that a specification sheet cannot settle

Measure your parking space with the mirrors in the position you will use. Include access around the car, door opening and the space needed to use the split tailgate. The additional length of a Long Wheelbase is most useful when the cabin benefit matters on your regular journeys.

A full passenger load and a full luggage load need checking together. Take the cases, buggy or other bulky items that matter to a viewing. Ask for the towing approval, towbar, payload and permitted combination weight of the exact derivative if you use a trailer. A maximum elsewhere in the model range is not confirmation for your vehicle.

Range Rover Sport is a separate model, with a different body and cabin brief. Compare it when your priority is the way the car feels from the driving seat. Compare Defender when body style, seat flexibility and carrying outdoor equipment matter more than the Range Rover cabin layout. Neither comparison is a substitute for checking the actual specification.

Range Rover company-car tax across the lease

Range Rover includes electric, plug-in hybrid and combustion-engine derivatives. Treat the tax table as category guidance, then identify the certified CO2, qualifying electric range and P11D value of the exact vehicle. Similarly named PHEV entries can have different certification. Do not assign a single BiK percentage to the entire model range.

For an employee or director with private use, the taxable benefit normally starts with the car’s P11D value multiplied by the applicable BiK percentage. Personal tax then depends on the individual’s income tax rate and any relevant adjustments. The percentage is not the tax rate applied to the lease rental. A sole trader’s own business car use follows different rules.

The agreement can cross several tax years. Compare the whole path, not just the percentage in the year the car arrives.

These are conditional tax bands, not assigned rates for every Range Rover. Confirm the supplied car’s P11D, certified CO2, fuel type and registration date. Diesel supplements can apply where the required emissions certification is absent, subject to the annual maximum.

The electric-mile figures above are HMRC band thresholds, not promises of this car’s driving range. Newer plug-in hybrid certification can show more than 50 g/km. A temporary company-car easement may treat an eligible car as 1 g/km where the registration date, electric range and Euro-status conditions are met; it is not automatic and must not be transferred to lease-rental deductions. Check the vehicle documents and HMRC’s plug-in hybrid conditions with your accountant.

Use our company-car BiK guide alongside HMRC’s 2026/27 and 2027/28 tables and the published 2028/29 and 2029/30 changes. Tax information checked 22 September 2026. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change; consult your accountant.

Road tax and costs across the term

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). For 2026/27, the standard annual VED payment after the first year is £200 before any supplement. First-year VED depends on CO2 and registration rules; zero-emission cars currently have a £10 first-year rate. Ask how the funder treats tax increases during your agreement.

Expensive Car Supplement. The Expensive Car Supplement is currently £440 a year for five years from the second licence. The list-price threshold is more than £40,000 for petrol, diesel and hybrid cars, or more than £50,000 for qualifying zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025. Use the published list price before discounts, including relevant options, and check the registration date. Plug-in hybrids do not receive the electric-car threshold. GOV.UK explains VED and the supplement.

Planned eVED. The government plans Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) from April 2028, alongside VED: 3p per mile for electric cars and 1.5p per mile for plug-in hybrids. This is a future mileage charge, not a current lease rental. An agreement spanning introduction needs the funder’s written treatment of the charge and later changes. Check the government’s consultation response and final implementation guidance before committing.

VAT and the business accounts

VAT-registered businesses can normally reclaim 50% of the VAT on qualifying car rentals where private use is available, depending on circumstances and the normal VAT rules. Full rental-VAT recovery requires exclusive business use with no private availability. Separately supplied maintenance can qualify for full VAT recovery where the conditions are met. Read HMRC’s motoring VAT guidance.

The hire-cost rules normally disallow 15% of otherwise deductible rentals for cars above 50 g/km, subject to their scope and exceptions. A company-car BiK easement does not establish relief from this restriction. Check HMRC’s car-hire deduction rules.

For accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, revised FRS 102 generally requires a right-of-use asset and lease liability for lessees, including small companies using Section 1A. FRS 105 lease accounting for eligible micro-entities was not changed in the same way. Contract hire therefore does not universally keep a car off the balance sheet. Ask your accountant to apply the right framework; HMRC summarises the accounting standards.

Build the quotation around the way you will use it

Tell IVF your annual mileage, regular passengers, essential equipment, charging access where relevant and preferred timing. Ask for the precise model year, derivative, options and registration status to be written into the quotation. The catalogue is a starting point; the offered vehicle and funder terms need confirmation.

Business Contract Hire is taken by the business; Personal Contract Hire is taken by the private individual. Both are subject to status and individual funder criteria. Compare the initial rental, term, mileage, maintenance and applicable fees on the same basis. An initial rental is part of the hire cost, not refundable security or ownership equity.

A manufacturer warranty starts under the supplied car’s warranty terms, normally from first registration. Its time and mileage limits may finish before your lease does. It is separate from optional servicing and tyre cover. Confirm maintenance inclusions, insurance responsibilities, tax provisions and early-termination terms before signing.

At the end of contract hire, return the vehicle; there is no contractual purchase option. Excess mileage, damage beyond the funder’s fair wear and tear standard, missing equipment or other contractual charges may still be payable. Check the return process before choosing your agreement.
