For the new version, Land Rover has retained the silhouette and upright design with short overhangs and clamshell bonnet of the previous-gen Range Rover. However, look closer, and you will notice the attention-to-detailing and subtle sheet metal changes introduced in the new Range Rover.

While the Range Rover gets advanced LED headlamps with 1.2 million individual LED mirrors and a ‘gill’ motif on the grille at the front, the rear profile gets a nice-looking wide inverted U-shaped gloss black panel that accommodates vertical LED tail lamps on its side edges. The SUV has an unbroken design for its waistline, larger multi-spoke alloy wheels and flush-type door handles on the side profile.

Interior Design and Features

The cabin layout of the new Range Rover seeks inspiration from other new-generation Land Rover models like Velar and Discovery, with it creating a new benchmark in opulence in the history of Land Rover.

The new Range Rover gets a 13.7-inch full-TFT instrument console and a floating 13.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, both of which work in sync with the new-generation Pivi Pro operating system from Land Rover. The infotainment screen is a one-stop unit to control almost 90 per cent of the functions of the car and features a haptic feedback option too. The cabin also gets a new four-spoke design for the steering wheel and a minimalist centre console accommodating a stubby gear lever.

Some of the other new premium features in the new Range Rover are a 35-speaker 1,600W Meridian Signature sound system with active noise cancellation, Cabin Air Purification Pro with dual-nanoeX technology and PM2.5 air filtration, physical dials for four-zone automatic climate control with touch panel and 11.4-inch touch-operated infotainment screens behind the front seats for rear passengers. The four-seater versions also get an 8-inch touchscreen controller between the rear seats for controlling various functions.

Engine and Transmission

Based on Land Rover’s MLA-Flex platform, the new Range Rover will be available in India with two petrol and one diesel engine option. Starting with the petrol-powered options, the range starts with a 3.0-litre six-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine, which produces 395 bhp of power and 550 Nm of torque. Then there is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, which makes 523 bhp of power and 750 Nm of torque. Lastly, there is a 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine, which belts out 346 bhp of power and 700 Nm of torque. The 3.0-litre petrol and diesel engines also feature a 48V mild-hybrid technology. An 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox is the standard transmission option across the whole range.

Chassis

Having all-wheel-drive and all-wheel steering as standard fitments, the new Range Rover features Integrated Chassis Control for enhanced driving dynamics. It is also armed with a fully-independent electronic air suspension with twin-valve dampers, which use navigation data to sense the road conditions ahead and alter the suspension settings based on the data received, while on the go. For more off-road driving ability, the new Range Rover comes with Terrain Response 2 system with six driving modes.

Competition

Just like in many parts of the world, the new Range Rover will directly compete with top-of-the-line luxury SUVs like Bentley Bentayga and Mercedes-Maybach GLS. The top-spec variants will also take on the mighty Rolls Royce Cullinan.
