The first below the doors that now sweeps upwards towards the rear, the second runs back from the clamshell bonnet and is sharper and tighter than before, while the third separates the model’s trademark floating roof. In profile, the Range Rover is still defined by three clear horizontal lines. The tail-lights and indicators have been incorporated into a solid-looking black panel that is opaque when the lights aren’t on. Land Rover’s design reductionism is clear at the rear, where the biggest styling changes for the new car can be seen. However, leather will still be offered as standard. With this in mind, no Range Rover will wear an engine or trim level boot badge, while alternatives to leather will be offered in the form of Kvadrat technical Ultrafabric to improve sustainability. Hybrid power can now be optioned on SV models.Īccording to Land Rover’s Design Director, Massimo Frascella, the new Range Rover’s design is all about reductionism, reducing the lines and joints in the body to give a new, more understated take on modern luxury. Land Rover has also introduced SV versions of the new Range Rover, with the new range-topping specification available in short- or long-wheelbase form. This latter setting retains a programmable state of charge for deployment later in the driver’s journey. 50kW DC rapid charging enables a 0-80 per cent recharge of the battery in under an hour.Īlongside fully electric EV mode, there’s a choice of Hybrid mode – the default setting, which combines both power sources and uses predictive energy optimisation tech, as well as geofencing to ensure electric propulsion is available in low emissions zones, for example – and Save mode. CO2 emissions have also been slightly improved for the PHEVs with 16g/km in hybrid drive mode. Range Rover claims the 0-62mph time for the P550e stands at five seconds flat - half a second quicker than the P510e.īoth variants will offer up to 75 miles of range on electric power only (with an expect real-word range of 59 miles). The detuned P460e puts out a total of 453bhp and the P550e has 542bhp - up from 503bhp in the P510e. Both PHEVs use a 3.0-litre straight-six turbocharged petrol engine in tandem with a 217bhp (up from 141bhp in the P440e and P510e) electric motor.
