- The 2010 Range Rover is available in one body style: a five-door model. The 2010 models are the HSE and the slightly smaller Sport. Each offers various trim levels. In 2010, the Rover Group unveiled a second body style, the Range Rover Evoque, which is scheduled for release in mid-2011.
- The 2010 Range Rover HSE and the Sport feature slightly different body dimensions, although the styling remains essentially the same. The Evoque, however, offers vastly different styling with a lower-slung body, headlamps that sweep back along the beltline, and a low roofline that slopes downward in the back. The HSE comes five trim levels. The base HSE, the HSE LUX, the Supercharged, the Autobiography and the ultra-luxury Autobiography Limited Edition with a price tag near $100,000 in 2010. All models feature Oxford leather seats, a Belgravia leather instrument panel and a 14-speaker audio system generating 720 watts. The HSE's frame sits on a 113.8-inch wheelbase with an overall length of 195.8 inches. It stands tall at 73.9 inches with an 87.2-inch width with the external mirrors extended. A 510-horsepower 5-liter V8 engine is available on the Supercharged model that sits on 10-spoke, 20-inch alloy wheels.
- The Sport comes in three trim levels: HSE, HSE LUX and Supercharged. The Sport is slightly smaller than the standard HSE models. Its wheelbase is shorter than the standard HSE by more than 5 inches at 108 inches and measures 188 inches long. The Sport is more than 3 inches shorter than the standard HSE at 70.4 inches tall, with its width measuring 84.9 inches with the mirrors extended outward. The Sport HSE features a 7-inch touch screen for driver information and a navigation system. The Sport Supercharged is equipped with the same engine as the Range Rover HSE Supercharged version and can achieve 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds. The Sport HSE LUX features stitched perforated leather seats and five-spoke, 20-inch wheels.
- The mid-2011 Evoque, to be released for the 2012 model year, is a radical departure from traditional Range Rover styling. Rover designed it to provide lower fuel emissions than other Land Rover and Range Rover offerings. The Evoque is a three-door model, although a five-door version is scheduled for later release. Rover designed the front-wheel-drive, turbodiesel-powered Evoque to deliver 50 mpg and compete against the Audi Q5 and BMW X3 SUVs.
