Range Rover. The name, now well known to motorists, for legendary and already cult model. Launched in 1970, the Range was then responsible for supporting the stalwart Land Rover that started the line in 1948. At the time, Land Rover designated a model in the Rover line, not a brand. The release of the Range Rover, a less simple but equally comfortable crossover paved the way for the future diversification of this nascent brand. In 1978, British Leyland (owner of Rover) formalized the separation of Land Rover from the Rover portfolio: it was independence! From the Discovery to the Defender, from the Freelander to the Evoque and the Velar, the most famous of all remains the Range Rover. Now in its fifth generation, released in 2021he lost his adventurous side to become a today A very high-class SUV.

Several technical improvements

This “new” Range Rover in fact very similar to the previous one which was released in 2012. The same athletic build, the same front end. The rear lights are narrowed, the model range of engines has been revised, the digital panel of the dashboard has been enlarged. And that’s about it. Just two years after launch, Land Rover is already making changes. Starting with the technical part. The range-leading plug-in hybrid units are now more powerful. Subtlety is allowed adopting a new electric motor that rises to 218 horsepower. The accompanying 3-liter 6-cylinder gasoline engine remains unchanged. Thus endowed, two new versions are available: the 460 hp P460e and the 550 hp P550e.. Despite such an increase in power, the electric motor wins in sobriety. This allows him to now announce an electric range of 121 kilometers.

Even more customization options

Another change, this time in a purely thermal version. The 4.4-liter V8 unit also sees an increase in horsepower, thanks to the use of micro-hybridization 48 V. It goes up to 615 horsepower, on a couple also on the rise, at 750 Nm! finally, the infotainment system has been updated and features Pivi Pro, the brand’s latest innovation. It adds its share of technology and intelligent driver assistance systems. And that’s not all… Autobiography ends, and sports SVs are it now eligible for SV Bespoke treatment. This is Land Rover’s personalization department. Thus, 230 body colors and 391 interior trim colors are available. Like the Bentley we talked about recently, the customer can ask for everything or almost! “Range” is final even more luxuriousmore customizable and more elite than before.
