Our customers often have questions about performance, reliability, maintenance, technology, and ownership. Below are answers to the most common questions we receive at our Land Rover dealership.
Q1: Are Land Rovers reliable?
A: Yes. Modern Land Rover vehicles are designed with durability and performance in mind. The latest models use advanced aluminum-intensive construction and tested powertrains engineered for both on-road refinement and off-road capability. Routine service at a certified Land Rover center, like Land Rover Jackson, ensures long-term reliability.
Q2: How often should I service my Land Rover?
A: Land Rover recommends servicing your vehicle every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, in Mississippi's heat and humidity, it's smart to check fluids and filters more frequently. Regular oil changes, tire rotations, and inspections keep your Land Rover performing at its best.
Q3: What is included in Land Rover's factory warranty?
A: New Land Rover models come with a 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty, which covers most components and systems. Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models include additional warranty coverage and undergo a 165-point inspection for peace of mind.
Q4: Do Land Rovers perform well in hot and humid climates like Mississippi?
A: Absolutely. Land Rover vehicles are tested in extreme temperatures and environments. Their cooling systems, air conditioning, and advanced engine management systems are built to handle heat, humidity, and tough driving conditions. Routine maintenance helps ensure consistent performance year-round.

A: Several models offer three-row
configurations, including:

seven passengers.

Q8: How does Land Rover's all-wheel-drive system work?
