How do the Range Rover's features compare with its competitors? Among published figures, the 2026 Range Rover has the most off-road ground clearance (about 11.6 in), a 35.4-in wading depth, and the highest maximum tow rating (up to 8,200 lb, by configuration). It is the only one offered as a plug-in hybrid. The BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and Cadillac Escalade start lower in price and seat seven without needing a long-wheelbase body. The Escalade has by far the most cargo space. The Lexus LX matches the Range Rover's full-time 4WD focus with a locking center differential.
Each table covers one category so you can jump straight to what matters to you. Figures are for the 2026 model year. Where a manufacturer publishes a range by trim, the table shows the range or names the trim. Where we could not confirm a figure from a published source, the cell says “Not confirmed” rather than guessing. For a narrative take on who each SUV suits, start with the Range Rover vs. competitors overview.

| Mercedes-Benz GLS | 7,700 lb | GLS 450 and GLS 580 |
| BMW X7 | 7,500 lb | xDrive40i and M60i with factory hitch |
For a family boat or a mid-size travel trailer headed to a Wisconsin or Michigan lake, the loaded weight often lands well above the empty figure on the spec sheet. Weigh the full rig, and remember that the Range Rover P550e plug-in is rated far lower than the gasoline versions.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Range Rover SWB | 5 | — | 24.5–31.8 cu ft (varies by powertrain) | Not confirmed |

The BMW X7's third row offers 33.3 in of legroom. For Range Rover buyers who need seven seats, the long-wheelbase body is the only route; the standard-wheelbase model is a five-seater.
| Model | Suspension | Max ground clearance | Wading depth | Off-road systems |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Range Rover | Standard air suspension, adjustable height | About 11.6 in (off-road height) | 35.4 in | Advanced Terrain Response, Wade Sensing |
| BMW X7 | Standard two-axle adaptive air suspension | About 8.7 in | Not confirmed | xDrive AWD |
| Mercedes-Benz GLS | Air suspension | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 4MATIC AWD |

| Lexus LX | Body-on-frame | About 8.1 in (LX 600) | Not confirmed | Full-time 4WD, locking center differential, crawl control, hill-descent control |
Wading depth and air-suspension ride heights are unchanged between the Range Rover's short- and long-wheelbase bodies, so the extra length of the LWB doesn't cost any water-crossing ability.

A table can't show you how a third row feels or how a cargo figure translates to your stroller and hockey bags. Bring your list to Land Rover Schaumburg, at 920 W Golf Rd, and our team will walk you through any row of this matrix on an actual Range Rover, including the difference between the standard and long wheelbase.
