We saw the first factory pictures of the new, fifth generation Range Rover last week, while its official premiere was announced for tonight in London.
The new Range Rover comes on the MLA platform (Modular Longitudinal Architecture), and thanks to the use of aluminum, the platform of the new model is lighter than the old one, and it is adapted to the use of plug-in hybrids and electric drive.
In any case, this is announced to be the most radical and technically most advanced Range Rover to date.
Jaguar Land Rover CEO Thierry Bolloré says the new Range Rover is a brilliant manifestation of their vision to create the world’s most desirable luxury vehicles, as well as a compelling demonstration of pioneering innovation that has been a trademark of Range Rover for more than 50 years.
In terms of design, however, there are no major changes, but the evolution of current solutions has been applied, with inspiration from the Velar and Evoque models. It should also be mentioned that the coefficient of air resistance is reduced to 0.30.
2023 Range Rover Interior
All this with an even more luxurious interior and more advanced technology, with the Pivi Pro infotainment system with a 13.1-inch touch screen and a 13.7-inch digital screen in front of the driver.
In addition, there will still be a standard and extended model on offer, in four, five or seven seat versions.
In addition to internal combustion engines, the new Range Rover will also be offered as a plug-in hybrid, and in 2024 it will also receive a fully electric variant.
Engine
In the engine range, BMW’s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 petrol with 530hp and 750 Nm stands out, with which the new Range Rover reaches 100 km / h in 4.6 seconds (with launch control system) and can reach el . limited to 250 km / h.
Range Rover EV
The electric versions will combine a six-cylinder Ingenium 3.0-liter petrol, a 105 kW electric motor and 31.8-kWh lithium-ion batteries. The P440e version has a total of 440HP and 620 Nm, while the stronger version of the P510e has 510HP and 700 Nm. These versions also have an electric driving mode in which they can travel up to 100 km (according to WLTP).
The new Range Rover will also have non-electrified six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines in the range, all with all-wheel drive and a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Range Rover will be sold with the SE, HSE and Autobiography equipment packages, as well as the First Edition, which will be offered in the first 12 months of sale (with special colors that include Sunset Gold).
