The Land Rover Range Rover (L460), generally shortened to Range Rover, is the fifth generation of the Range Rover, a range of mid- and full-size luxury crossovers produced by Land Rover. It was revealed in London on 26 October 2021. The car is available in two different wheelbases, and the vehicle is available in guises consisting of petrol, petrol mild hybrid, petrol plug-in hybrid, and diesel mild hybrid. A seven-seater option was available slightly after launch.

Development and launch

The fifth generation Range Rover was revealed on 26 October 2021 by the Jaguar Land Rover Chief Creative Officer and the car's designer, Gerry McGovern, at the Royal Opera House in London.[2][3][4] It is built upon Jaguar Land Rover's new MLA-Flex platform

Overview

Internally designated L460, the vehicle is based on the MLA platform, which it shares with the smaller third generation Range Rover Sport. The vehicle is 53 mm longer, 63 mm wider, and 35 mm higher, while its wheelbase has grown by 22 mm. For the long-wheelbase model, as the SWB model, its length has also grown by 53 mm, while its wheelbase as grown by 75 mm.[7] Because of the fact the vehicle is built upon the MLA-Flex platform, the L460 has 50 per cent greater torsional rigidity compared to the outgoing model, with a static rigidity of 50,000 Nm per degree. The new chassis also features a steel front bulkhead with a closed-section arrangement. This helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness from the road coming into the cabin by about 24 per cent.[7][8]

For the first time on a Land Rover, the L460 is the first vehicle to offer four-wheel steering.[8] With a turning circle of 10.95 m, or 11.54 m for the long-wheelbase model, the L460 features a double wishbone suspension at the front, while it features a multi-link suspension at the rear.[9] Rear-wheel steering is also available with a turning circle of up to 7.3 degrees.[10] Independent air suspension combines air spring volumes with twin-valve monotube dampers, which are managed by the "Adaptive Dynamics" system. The air suspension also adds variable ride height.[10] The Range Rover also features Range Rover's "iAWD" (Intelligent All-Wheel Drive) system, which is controlled by Land Rover's Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) system. The system enhances efficiency by disconnecting drive at the front axle at speeds between 35 and 160 kph, which reduces drag losses by 30 per cent and decrease its CO2 emissions by 4g/km.[10]

Features

All models features a 13.1-inch touchscreen, which runs Land Rover's "Pivi Pro" interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both available, as well as the Amazon Alexa integration. Additional standard features include navigation, wireless smartphone charging, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a 13.7-inch digital gauge display. Optionally, rear seat entertainment systems with twin 11.4-inch displays are available as well as a Meridian Audio system with 35 speakers and noise cancelling technology are available. Different leather choices are available for interior, however a leather-free option, which adds wool or other vegan materials are available. Available seating configurations, including four, five, or seven are available, possibly depending on configuration and wheelbase. The four-seater arrangement includes a centre console dividing the two rear seats along with an electrically operated tray table and a mini-fridge.[11][4] The L460 also features 23-inch wheels, upgrading from the 22-inch of the previous iteration.
