The Range Rover (L322) is the third-generation Range Rover from British carmaker Land Rover, produced from 2001 through 2012. Contrary to its forebears, it is the first Range Rover with a unitary body structure (more commonly known as a monocoque even though the common motor cars never truly utilize the aforementioned structure) and it switched to all around independent suspension instead of front and rear rigid, live axles. Just like its predecessor, it grew in size, and styling became more butch. The L322 was originally planned and developed as the 'L30', under BMW ownership. The vehicle was intended to share components and systems (electronics, core power units etc.) with the BMW 7 Series (E38). However, BMW sold Land Rover to Ford, two years before the L322 went into production. In the UK and many other territories, ascending trim levels were initially marketed as "SE", "HSE" and "Vogue". Various other trims such as "Vogue SE", "Westminster", "Autobiography" and special editions were subsequently produced. In his Sunday Times column, Jeremy Clarkson once went on record to state that he owned a Range Rover TDV8 Vogue and it was "the best car in the world and best 4x4." As of 2025, he still owns and operates a car matching this description, and it primarily serves on his farm in Chipping Norton. The L322's successor, the L405, was announced in August 2012 and unveiled the same year at the Paris Motor Show.
