The completely newly developed fifth generation of the British luxury SUV can be ordered in addition to various diesel and petrol variants as well as two plug-in hybrid versions (from January 2022), with either 324 kW (440 hp) or 375 kW (510 hp). ) Power. The new Range Rover is from 121.Available for 200 euros, the British have not yet communicated the prices for the plug-in variants. The car manufacturer has also announced a purely electric version. However, it is still a long time coming: It is scheduled to celebrate its premiere in 2024 as the first Land Rover model without exhaust emissions.
The Range Rover established the luxury SUV segment more than 50 years ago and is one of the most popular models on the market. The basis of the new Range Rover is also a new platform with the abbreviation MLA-Flex for “Flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture” or translated: flexible modular longitudinal architecture.

The drive portfolio of the new Range Rover includes two plug-in hybrids (PHEV) with a longer range and combined CO2 emissions of less than 30 g/km, which can be ordered from January 2022. According to the WLTP standard, the part-time electric vehicles can travel up to 100 kilometers purely electrically, which corresponds to around 80 kilometers in practice. This means that the typical Range Rover customer is able to do around 75 percent of their journeys exclusively electrically, according to the company in a recent press release.
Land Rover also wants to become more sustainable in the interior. That is why the selection of materials and surfaces for the Range Rover also includes a number of forward-looking solutions, such as innovative textiles such as Ultrafabrics or wool blends from Kvadrat. The textile combination of the technical Ultrafabric and the Kvadrat fabric has the same properties as traditional leather upholstery, but its production only generates a quarter of the CO2 that occurs with leather.

As standard on all variants of the new Range Rover, all-wheel steering continues to give it the tightest turning circle of any Land Rover model – and air-sprung chassis, which uses eHorizon navigation data to estimate the route ahead and fine-tune the suspension accordingly.

The new Range Rover is a British product, developed and designed in the United Kingdom for the world’s markets. He rolls exclusively in the Land Roverarm plant Solihull from the production bands.
