The 4th generation (L405) Range Rover again uses a unitary monocoque body-shell, but contrary to the previous model, it is made from all-aluminium rather than steel,{{cite web|last=Stoy|first=Andrew|title=Revealed:2013 Land Rover Range Rover sheds weight with all-aluminum unibody|url=http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/2013-land-rover-range-rover-sheds-weight-all-aluminum-unibody-us-market-wont-get|work=Auto Week|accessdate=28 May 2017|date=5 September 2012}} including unique high-strength alloy, up to 50% recycled aluminium; and production takes place in an all new aluminium facility at Land Rover's Solihull site.

The all-aluminium monocoque body structure is a first for a 4x4 SUV platform, according to Land Rover, resulting in a remarkable 39 percent lighter body-shell, and a reduction of {{Convert|420|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} compared to its predecessor. The Range Rover has a new version of Terrain Response, dubbed Terrain Response{{nbsp}}2.

The Range Rover has two diesel engines options and three petrol engines;

• 3.0 L V6 turbo diesel producing {{convert|258|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|600|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque,
• 4.4 L V8 turbo diesel produces {{convert|340|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|700|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque
• 5.0 L V8 petrol engine unit with two versions
• the naturally aspirated engine produces {{convert|375|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|510|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque
• the supercharged version produces {{convert|510|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|625|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque.
• A supercharged 3.0 L petrol V6 developing {{convert|340|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} or {{convert|380|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} were added in 2014.
• A 2.0 L I4 Ingenium petrol Plug-in Hybrid engine available for the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover P400e.

All engines use an eight-speed automatic transmission. Gears are selected from the Drive Select rotary shifter on the centre console or the driver can also manually select gears via the paddle shift controls on the steering wheel.

The car has permanent four-wheel drive with 50/50 torque split and a two-speed transfer case for high and low range options.

The Range Rover has electronic cross-linked air suspension with variable ride height. Multiple suspension modes are provided as standard, including: access, normal on-road, off-road and extended height. The car has an automated load leveling mechanism.

Adaptive dynamics continuously analyse vehicle movements over 500 times per second, reacting instantaneously to road conditions and driver actions. Variable dampers adjust to maintain a composed and balanced ride. The dynamic response system independently adjusts and monitors front and rear suspension units, reducing the amount of body roll during cornering, as well as enhancing control and stability at higher speeds.

The Range Rover's all-terrain capability features a new second generation Terrain Response system. The system monitors ground conditions to determine the most appropriate response to the terrain and automatically optimises vehicle settings. The system provides settings for grass, gravel, snow, mud, sand, and rock crawl, Terrain Response technology instantly reconfigures transmission, suspension, and traction settings. Controlled Acceleration Control prevents excessive speeds downhill, and Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle from inadvertently rolling backwards.

The Range Rover has driver and passenger airbags (side, seat-front, thorax and pelvis), plus airbags to protect rear-seat passengers.

Other safety aids include cornering brake control, which helps to maintain stability when cornering by adjusting the driver's generated brake pressure, along with dynamic stability control to maintain control by reducing engine torque and applying braking to the appropriate wheel and correcting understeer or oversteer.{{Euro NCAP |year=2012 |overall_stars=5 |description=Land Rover Range Rover, Large Off-Road |reference={{cite web|url=http://www.euroncap.com/en/results/land-rover/range-rover/10934 |title=Euro NCAP – Range Rover 3.0 TD 'Vogue', LHD (2012) |work=euroncap.com|accessdate=30 September 2015}} [http://euroncap.blob.core.windows.net/media/6276/euroncap_land-rover_range_rover_2012_5stars.pdf Report]|adult_points=33 |adult_percent=91 |child_points=41 |child_percent=84 |pedestrian_points=23 |pedestrian_percent=63 |safety_points=6 |safety_percent=86}}

In 2018, Land Rover unveiled the limited edition Range Rover SV Coupe at the 2018 Geneva Auto Show.{{Cite web |title=Range Rover SV Coupé (2018) : lancement annulé ! |url=https://www.autojournal.fr/land-rover/range-rover/sv-coupe/range-rover-sv-coupe-2018-lancement-annule-175192.html#item=1 |website=auto journal| date=31 January 2019 }} The variant would seat four passengers and be the fastest Range Rover ever built. The vehicle was expected to go on sale in 2020 as a 2021 model year vehicle with availability limited to 999 units. However, in January 2019, Land Rover announced that Range Rover SV Coupe had been cancelled due to financial constraints and due to the vehicle containing many expensive and unique parts that were incompatible with other Range Rover variants. Land Rover notified all customers that placed orders and reservations for the SV Coupe, informing them that development of the unique 3-door SV Coupe had been cancelled and that all their orders and reservations for the model were cancelled as a result. Land Rover stated that funding and investments towards development for the cancelled vehicle would instead be spent on developing electric crossovers and SUVs, as part of efforts to return to profitability.{{Cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a19125310/2019-range-rover-sv-coupe-is-officially-unveiled-and-packs-557-horsepower-news/|title=The 2019 Range Rover SV Coupe is Dead and Will Not Reach Production|date=30 January 2019}}
