The 2022 Range Rover: First look at new luxury SUV

The 2022 Range Rover has been revealed. As the fifth-generation of one of the world’s most recognised cars, the all-new Range Rover treads a careful path between evolution and revolution. New features include the option of seven seats in the long-wheelbase model, as well as an all-electric powertrain that’ll arrive in 2024.

In this CarGurus UK video, Vicky Parrott takes a first look at the 2022 Range Rover, which is Land Rover’s first model to sit on a new ‘MLA-Flex’ platform that’s designed for both pure electric and combustion-engine applications, and plug-in hybrid models. We won’t see the pure electric version until 2024, but in the meantime there are two plug-in hybrids – the Range Rover P440e and P510e - both with a class-leading electric range of 62 miles, rapid charging up to 50kW (also a rarity in PHEVs), and a six-cylinder 3.0-litre petrol engine to keep you going when the 38.2kWh battery is depleted. CO2 emission of under 30g/km are likely to make it popular with company car buyers.

A variety of 3.0-litre, six-cylinder mild hybrid diesels with varying power outputs are likely to be popular with private buyers, while a couple of mild hybrid petrol 3.0-litre, six-cylinder engines and a 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 finish off the lineup.

Equipment levels are generous even on the standard Range Rover, while Autobiography models will up the style ante with panoramic glass roof, bigger wheels and more, and the SV (Special Vehicle) model will bring personalisation options and even more style swagger.

This version of the Range Rover is intended to push even further upmarket into Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan territory, so the materials and tech are classier than ever. If the seven seat model isn’t for you, there’s a standard rear bench or a two-person executive seat layout that can even be specced with a swivelling table that rises up in between the seats.

As for the tech, Amazon Alexa is the integrated voice control system for the slick touchscreen system, as is wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Opt for the SV and you can choose from any number of smart, modern finishes ranging from a leather-free interior that uses recycled plastics, to ceramic-finishes on the door cards. Naturally, if you want to you can completely personalise your Range Rover in any fashion that you wish… if your pockets are deep enough.

All the other vital Range Rover traits remain. Fully adaptive air suspension and a new generation of Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2 system promises to maintain its famous off-road prowess and towing capacity. It’ll still wade in 900mm of water (PHEV versions included) and tow up to 3,500kg with a braked trailer. On top of that, standard all-wheel steering is now said to improve low-speed manoeuvrability, although we are yet to drive it so we’ll have to wait until 2022 before we find out for ourselves.

The mk 5 Range Rover is available to order from the end of 2021, with deliveries starting in the first half of 2022.

[coventrycity]

Looks absolutely brilliant in the flesh

[beekaye]

FInally looking more modern and setting the bar for luxury SUV. Hope it stays reliable for 5-6 years

[jimmywang]

ordered mine this morning…..at Vancouver

[Firemanify]

Can't seee much difference apart from the backlights, and using a bit of Bluetack to stick a tablet on the dashboard

[LinhPhamVietNam]

JS Bach is really a good match for the "minimalism"

[smoothmicra]

It looks more urban than ever, rather than something you would take off-road. Fair enough cos they only get driven on tarmac.

[interceptor-sskb]

Atleast they haven't ruined it I was worried but it looks great. The deal breaker would be if it's not made in the UK

[ToxxicMafia]

I dont know much about wrap and PPF application but it looks like it would be easy to do that kind of job on this car

[Croatian-]

Range Rovers always looked good, especially this new version. However, lets get to the point. Did reliability improve?? that's all we want to know.

[dailyhunter]

Good review. How much is it gonna cost me?

[aidanwilson]

Great designs like the new Range Rover really stand out on the road, at the same time it just looks like an update of the previous model and the only big difference is the weird styling of the rear lights which might improve with familiarity, hopefully this new model will be more reliable as JLR has got better but there is still a long way to go, along with the Defender it will give the company a big financial boost after years of uncertainty as they transition to electric vehicles.

[hondamonkeyboy]

No doubt the Premiership football community will be 'over the moon' with this arrival.

[TheAmritsarsingh]

Head of the design team must been drunk. I don’t know why they keep showing the rear end changed. Is it going to drive backwards?

[KyleHubb]

Who would choose a Bentayga or Cullinan over this? Even the DBX feels dated in comparison.

[markreeves]

The dash and buttons are the same as my Jaguar F Pace

[christopherhume]

Well if no-one else is going to say it then I will, the two shark fins on the roof look really stupid.

[gtselikas]

Make a good diesel version of it let the hybrids aside :/

[Honda_Hooligan]

Like most LR products it'll spend most of its life broken.

[MrMarkhall]

The rich get Range Rovers and the poor get Peugeots.

[donaldduck]

Looks so smart, classy, sophisticated and well designed. Every time I look at new BMW, Audi or Merc these days with their massive in your face grills and badges, they just seem so tacky and common, the sort of cars dumb uneducated people lease to impress their neighbours. This car is for the people who don't care what other people think about them, the people who have no interest in impressing co-muppets, the sort of people who have shed loads more money than me. I might get one mind, the PHEV obviously, I just need £90k trade in for my Vaxhall Ampera.
