There is no reference to remote start in either of the links you have provided.
You can preheat or cool down the vehicle remotely, however since leaving the engine running is illegal in most countries, there is no remote start option.

 

It's not possible to preheat or cool a car that has been idle for a while if the engine isn't running though.

 

Depending on which country you are in, remote start is available but only through the inControl app. The remote start feature isn’t free—it requires a paid subscription to InControl Remote Premium. This feature is also subject to the vehicle having the proper equipment. Without the appropriate subscription and vehicle equipment, the app will only display basic status info — no remote climate control or start options.

 

That's exactly what the PHEV does INTRODUCING THE NEW RANGE ROVER: ELECTRIFIED, SUSTAINABLE LUXURY AND TRADEMARK PERFORMANCE | Land Rover Media Newsroom - the HVAC runs off the 48V system BTW. And since the MHEV can not start the engine for reasons laid out above, no one even considered mixing the MHEV into it until you did.

 

I'm not sure what you're going on about. No one mentioned the PHEV and no one should be assuming that we're talking about that model. It pales in comparison to the gas only version sales wise.

In any event and as another poster mentioned above, it is possible to do remote start on the gas only Range Rover with the right package.

 

Why should I have assumed a MHEV - inherently lacking remote start by design - is being considered by yourself as a candidate for remote start?
"The package" you are mentioning is precool/preheat available on the PHEV only, with an InControl Pro subscription and remote precool/preheat hardware. NAC market RR will not remote start due to compliance with the California emissions regulations, namely the idling regulations (5 minutes) and, crucially, the article 22515 regarding leaving the vehicle unattended with the engine running. Other US and Canada states have similar provisions. Your question has been answered, perhaps the dealer knows of some loophole that circumvents the regulations somehow (doubtful) and I would shoot this question to a dealer rather than here.

 

"What's the fuel economy of a 2025 Range Rover?"

"53 mpg"

-"No it's not"

-"It absolutely is. You have no idea what you're talking about."

-"Which model?"

-"The P550e"

-"Who cares about the P550e?"

1) It is NOT reasonable for you to presume anyone is talking about the least sold Range Rover.
2) the World doesn't revolve around California. Most States and ALL Provinces in Canada allow for remote start. It's a VERY common feature in vehicles these days.
3) There are no dealer specific loopholes. It is what it is based on regulations. If you're saying there is no way to remote start a Range Rover because of rules in California, then that's fine. However, someone else (who I know is incredibly knowledgeable as we also own Audi's) is saying that it is possible.

In any event, my question has been answered, yes by someone else, in a meaningful and reasonable way, upthread.

In any event, after wasting my time replying to your posts, it turns out you are indeed wrong.

"InControl® Remote provides information on your vehicle and enables you to interact with it remotely. This service lets you lock/unlock your doors, remotely preheat/precool the vehicle using the climate control function, and features remote engine start."

So I guess your contributions here have been a total waste of time. In any event, I still find it odd that someone from Poland is answering a question about the Remote Start feature in North America (yes, Canada and US cars typically have the same features enabled due to similar legislation) on a car that is rarely sold here (PHEVs). I'm not sure if you're aware MHEV RRs are both the P400 and P550 here - both represent the vast majority of Range Rover L460 sales. This isn't Europe where PHEVs may be sold more (I have no idea, I don't live there and I'm happy to disclose that.)

*I am totally being an ahole in this post but I'm annoyed with the back and forth which added absolutely no value to this thread.

 

Yes, you are. I am sorry I could not explain to you the low probability of this feature to be even available like to a grownup, but this is not the first time I encounter someone so fixed on his own idea, he rejects any reasonable doubt from someone else. Yes, all of them were aholes, so this small yet growing group of exhibits met its latest member.

I will not even delve into trying to counter this disdainful nationality rant, I am too embarrassed to even honor it with a reply.

 

As predicted and just in line with expectations...hook, line, sinker.

 

Yes, remort start works just fine, from the factory, with the normal Land Rover Remote app, no need for any special or additional subscriptions (within the first four year warranty period).

I use it near daily, most of the winter.

 

Remote start from app on my Samsung phone works fine on my L460 P400 MHEV in California.

 

Are you guys referring to the climate remote on the app? Is that the “remote start” feature?

 

I use remote start all the time from my app and the Apple Watch version of it. Sometimes it fails but in general it works well.

 

Under "Remote" tab on smartphone application, "Hold to start climate" says "Engine will start to power climate and purify air" and does that function on my L460 P400 MHEV in California.

 

Seems incredible a cheap Ford or Chevy comes standard with remote start from your fob - not requiring a phone or functioning vehicle modem or cellular service - in addition to an app which allows the same from your phone, while an expensive and upscale Range Rover requires a phone and functioning cell service. Not great in my opinion

 

Yes, when I say Remote Start I am using it interchangeably with Remote Climate. The former is what normal humans would call it, the latter is what JLR refers to it as. But it’s exactly what you expect it to be. No need to get hung up on semantics. Just trying to help another member, and prospective buyer.

To be accurate, it is indeed Remote Climate. It has always behaved, without fail, as any reasonable person would expect from a remote start.

I understand why it’s not a button on the Fob. It’s part of a holistic design that helps the overall security posture of the vehicle. A vehicle that is highly sought after by a variety of high tech theft vectors. This is a net benefit to all owners.

 

Mine is a 2020 RR, so it's the previous model. The InControl app works well for me, and includes remote start. For anyone unfamiliar with the app, it has many other useful features. It reminds you if the vehicle was left unlocked, and can be locked remotely if you do forget. You can also beep the horn and flash the lights in a parking lot with a sea of other SUVs. The app can be set to track where the vehicle is and where it has been in the Journeys section. In the Health section, it also tracks tire pressure, washer fluid level, brake wear, oil and coolant level alerts, and engine fault codes, and how far you can travel on the fuel left in the vehicle.

 

 

My 2025 RR has the “optional” features referred to in this thread. The reason I don’t specify is that I’m not clear to what all the options are. Several of them “expired” this month. I’m not paying almost $500 for subscriptions that I don’t understand what is included. So far, I still have the Remote Climate option. I won’t miss car play (I don’t think), because I think I’m using BT from my phone for maps (Waze) and music (Pandora). I could be wrong. Any advice for clarity is appreciated.

 

CarPlay is not dependent on subscriptions so you won’t lose it.

 

As an IT professional for 20+ years, allowing access to vehicle functions through the internet is not security at all. Being a “highly sought after” vehicle just means it will be targeted more.

Personally I’d prefer the ease and speed of the fob mounted remote start button.
