The Land Rover Range Rover is famed for its exceptional durability, which translates into a relatively steep depreciation curve compared to other luxury SUVs. A brand‑new Range Rover typically loses about 15–20% of its value in the first year due to initial market exposure and inflation. Over the next 4‑5 years, the depreciation accelerates, with the vehicle losing roughly 25–35% of its original sticker price. By the time a car reaches the 1972‑era mileage, a well‑maintained example often retains 45–55% of its original value, owing to two key factors: historic rarity and demand from collectors seeking a piece of automotive history.

It’s worth noting that depreciation can vary widely by region, condition, and restoration quality. The most pristine 1972 Range Rovers with detailed logs and original parts available can command premium prices, offsetting some of the typical loss in value.

When you compare the Land Rover Range Rover price of a 1972 model to similar vintage SUV offerings, several patterns emerge:

• Range Rover 1972 vs. Volkswagen Touareg Vintage: The Touareg, a later generation name‑plate, was engineered for a broader market. While its 2004 models began depreciating at 20–25% in the first year, the 1972 Range Rover maintains a higher average resale value in well‑preserved conditions, largely because of its original architecture and off‑road heritage.
