Quick answer
Is the Range Rover LWB a 7-seater?
Yes, in some versions. Seven seats are offered only on the long-wheelbase Range Rover, in HSE trim with the D350 diesel or in Autobiography trim with the D350, P380 or P540, while the plug-in hybrid and electric versions are five-seat only.
Best for Carrying adults in all three rows in luxury
On this page
The Range Rover 7-seater has a third row built for grown-ups: Land Rover quotes 864mm of legroom, Drive judges it properly usable for adults, and both seven-seat trims heat those seats.
The costs are price and size. The seven-seat HSE starts at £122,140, the long-wheelbase car is 5,252mm long, the boot holds 212 litres (dry) with all seven seats up, and seven-seat cars cannot be ordered with a spare wheel.

Range Rover LWB boot space

- 212L
- 5 seats up
- 857L
- Maximum
- 2,050L
With all seven seats in use the boot holds 212 litres, the 14th smallest of the 29 SUVs with a published boot figure and 28 litres less than the median. With five seats in use the boot holds 857 litres, rising to a maximum of 2,050 litres.
Land Rover quotes 'dry' boot figures and larger 'wet' ones that count the space up to the roof. The dry numbers are the better guide to what bags will fit and the ones we compare: 212 litres with all seven seats up is soft-bag territory, while 857 litres with the third row folded is a big five-seat boot.
Carrying five also frees up legroom, as the middle row slides back a further 50mm when the third row is not in use. See where it ranks in our 7-seater boot space comparison.
How it is measured Land Rover 'dry' figures for the D350 LWB seven-seat; its 'wet' figures, which Drive describes as measured to the roof, are 312, 1,061 and 2,601 litres. Auto Express also quotes 212 and 857 litres.

Third row: who fits?
Third row suitsAdults
Land Rover quotes 864mm of legroom and 909mm of headroom in the third row of the seven-seat LWB. Drive judges the back row properly usable for grown-ups, more so than in many luxury seven-seaters. Both seven-seat trims have heated third-row seats.
This is one of the few seven-seaters where the back row properly suits adults, so it works for families who travel with grandparents or older teenagers. Stadium-style seating raises third-row passengers above those in the front, so they see out of the car rather than staring at a seatback.
We could not confirm where the Isofix points are on the seven-seat car, so if you need child seats in the third row, ask Land Rover for the exact positions before ordering.

AJ20-D6 Idler Pulley Clash
A concern has been identified on certain AJ20-D6 engines where the Front End Auxiliary Drive (FEAD) belt idler pulley may over-rotate following a high torsion input and lead to a clash with and damage to the oil pressure and temperature sensor. A damaged oil pressure and temperature sensor can lead to an oil leak from the engine which can result in a slip hazard for following road users particularly two-wheeled vehicles.
Remedy: Vehicles will have the Front-End Auxiliary Drive (FEAD) idler pulley replaced.

Driver’s Airbag Potential Non-Deployment
A concern has been identified where the connector to the driver’s airbag at the clockspring may experience fretting corrosion over time. This can lead to an increased resistance in the driver’s airbag circuit potentially resulting in the airbag failing to deploy when requested to do so. An airbag which fails to deploy as-intended will increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Vehicles will have a protective lubricant gel applied to the driver’s airbag connector terminals.

Range Rover Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar Audio Amplifier Water Damage
A concern has been identified on certain 2026 model year Range Rover Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar vehicles where the audio amplifiers may have been subject to water damage and may not provide any audio output including no seat belt reminder audible warnings to the driver. A seat belt reminder audible warning chime that does not alert of an unlatched seat belt can increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Affected vehicles will have the audio amplifier replaced.

Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Panoramic Roof Side Finisher Loose
The manufacturer has identified a concern on certain Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles where the adhesion process used to re-attach the panoramic roof side finishers during vehicle quality rework operations in the assembly plant may not have been sufficient. An inadequately adhered panoramic roof side finisher could over time come partially or completely loose. This could result in distraction to the driver or other road users or in the event of complete detachment harm to other road users particularly pedestrians or two-wheeled vehicles and increase the risk of injury or a crash.
Remedy: Vehicles will have the panoramic roof side finisher removed and securely attached.

Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Plug-in Hybrid Battery Capacity
The manufacturer has identified a concern on certain Range Rover and Range Rover Sport plug-in hybrid vehicles where due to inadequate penetration of welding between the cells the battery’s capacity and therefore the vehicle’s electric range may be depleted below the design intent condition. A below-specification electric range will not meet the as-certified value for the vehicle and is therefore non-compliant to emissions legislation.
Remedy: Vehicles will have the hybrid battery/modules replaced.

Gear Shift Module Moisture Ingress
On Affected vehicles it is possible that moisture has entered the Gear Shift Module (GSM) during the assembly process. Under certain conditions there is a risk that this moisture could result in non-illumination of the Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicating the selected gear. Non-illumination of the LED gear indicator adjacent to the shifter would not conform to regulated requirements for automatic transmission control position indicator illumination.
Remedy: Affected vehicles will have the Gear Shift Module replaced.

Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Second Row Centre Seat Belt Buckle Cable Misaligned
On affected vehicles the second-row centre seat belt buckle may have been manufactured incorrectly. An internal obstruction to the seat belt tongue can prevent correct latching. In the event of a crash an insecurely latched seat belt buckle could increase the risk of personal injury.
Remedy: Vehicles will have the centre seat belt buckle and buckle retaining bolt replaced.

48V Harness Clash with Cross Brace
On affected vehicles the 48V cable could become too close to an underbody cross-brace and rub against the metal cross-brace exposing the cable core resulting in a short circuit and risk of fire.
Remedy: Inspect harness and as needed reposition the routing bracket as necessary.

2024 Model Year Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Loss of Drive
For affected vehicles the clutch plates within the hybrid transmission may have been manufactured with a flatness out of tolerance to the engineering specification.
Remedy: Diagnostic test to determine whether the clutch packs within the transmission are operating as expected. Any transmissions which fail the test will be replaced.

AJ20-D6 and AJ20-P6 Engine Oil Filter Housing Cracked
On affected vehicles the incorrect specification of plastic was used to manufacture the oil filter housing. This housing may over time and with vehicle use crack. This could result in oil under pressure leaking and coming into contact with hot components of the engine which may result in a fire. Additionally oil may leak onto the road surface posing a skid hazard.
Remedy: Replace the oil filter housing complete with filter and associated O-rings.

Range Rover LWB verdict: pros and cons
Our verdict The seven-seat Range Rover is the luxury SUV for carrying adults in all three rows, with 864mm of third-row legroom and heated rear seats. It is very long and very expensive, and choosing seven seats rules out the plug-in hybrid, the electric version and a spare wheel.
Pros
- Third row suits adults, with 864mm of legroom
- Heated third-row seats and stadium-style seating
- 3,500kg towing and five Euro NCAP stars from 2022
Cons
- 5,252mm long, so parking and garages need planning
- No spare wheel option on seven-seat cars
- Plug-in hybrid and electric versions are five-seat only
Good to know
- The seven-seat version cannot be ordered with a spare wheel (Auto Express)
- With the third row out of use, the middle row can slide back a further 50mm (Auto Express)
- The long-wheelbase body is 5,252mm long, 200mm more than the standard Range Rover's 5,052mm (Auto Express)
- Stadium-style seating puts third-row passengers 41mm higher than those in the front seats (Auto Express)
- Auto Express quotes a 1,870mm height for the Range Rover and a 2,175-litre maximum boot for the seven-seater, against Land Rover's 1,867mm and 2,050 litres dry for the seven-seat LWB (Auto Express, Land Rover UK)
Practicality
At 5,252mm long and 2,209mm wide with mirrors, this is one of the longest 7-seaters you can buy, so check your garage and expect to hunt for parking spaces. The lack of a spare wheel matters if you tow or drive on remote roads; braked towing is 3,500kg.
The Range Rover earned five Euro NCAP stars in 2022. For other ways to carry seven in comfort, compare the Land Rover Discovery and the Audi Q7.

Range Rover LWB FAQs
How big is the Range Rover LWB boot with all seven seats up?
212 litres with all seven seats in use, 857 litres with five seats in use and a maximum of 2,050 litres.
Can adults sit in the third row of the Range Rover LWB?
Yes. The third row is roomy enough for adults.
Is the standard-length Range Rover available with seven seats?
No. Seven seats come only with the long-wheelbase body, which at 5,252mm is 200mm longer than the standard Range Rover's 5,052mm, according to Auto Express. Check that your garage and parking spaces can take the extra length.
Can you get a seven-seat Range Rover plug-in hybrid?
No. The P460e plug-in hybrid and the electric Range Rover are five-seat only. For seven seats you need the D350 diesel, the only engine in HSE trim, or the D350, P380 or P540 in Autobiography trim.
See our list of plug-in hybrid 7-seaters for cars that combine a plug with a third row.
Does the seven-seat Range Rover have a spare wheel?
No. Auto Express reports that the seven-seat version cannot be ordered with a spare wheel, so check what puncture repair equipment the car comes with. If you tow or drive in remote areas, factor that in before choosing seven seats.
