Which Range Rover is the most affordable?
At a glance, the Range Rover Evoque is the most affordable model in the Range Rover lineup, with a starting price typically in the mid-$40,000s in the United States for model year 2025. This article explains why it's the entry point and how it compares with the rest of the lineup.
Beyond identifying the cheapest option, the piece examines what buyers get at that price, how the Evoque stacks up against larger Range Rovers, and what to consider when weighing value, features, and ownership costs.
Price landscape of the Range Rover lineup
The following snapshot reflects starting prices for the current Range Rover lineup in the U.S., acknowledging that prices vary by trim, options, and region. Destination charges and incentives can also affect the bottom line.

In short, the Evoque sits at the entry point of the family, while the other models scale up in size, capability, and price as you move toward the flagship Range Rover.
Why the Evoque remains the entry point
The Evoque is the smallest and lightest member of the Range Rover family, which helps keep its base price lower. It pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a compact footprint and trims that emphasize premium design and technology without delving into the higher-cost luxury or performance packages found on larger models.
Practical considerations for buyers
The bullets below explain the main reasons the Evoque starts at a lower price and what buyers might consider when evaluating trims and options.
- Compact dimensions translate to lower manufacturing and packaging costs relative to larger Range Rovers
- Smaller engine options and fewer standard packages at the base level contribute to a lower starting price
- Premium interior materials and tech remain, but some high-end features are reserved for higher trims
- Lower running costs (fuel, insurance, and maintenance) can make the Evoque more affordable over time for some buyers
Nevertheless, adding options, choosing higher trims, or selecting all-wheel drive can significantly raise the total purchase and ownership costs. Prospective buyers should weigh total cost of ownership alongside personal needs like cargo space and passenger comfort.
Summary
The Range Rover Evoque is the most affordable entry point in the Range Rover family for model year 2025, offering premium styling and modern tech at the lowest starting price. If budget is the primary driver, it provides compelling value, with larger models available if buyers seek more space, power, or luxury features. Always verify current MSRPs, regional pricing, and dealer incentives to understand the true cost of ownership.
