![]() ![]() Even the floor mats are made with one eye on the environment, recycled plastics and fabric offcuts make up 40% of their construction. Or you can have Ultrafabric, Land Rover's name for man-made leather which is 30% lighter than the real deal and produces a quarter of the CO2 during manufacturing. The Range Rover's glitzy exterior carries through to the interior where you'll find a cabin design that is dominated by huge infotainment screens, open-pore woods, your choice of planet-friendly or traditional leather upholsteries and selectable mood lighting.Įco-friendly upholstery options include Kvadrit – a wool blend that will only be available on top-of-the-range models. It's also 50% stiffer than the car it replaces and has a 'double-glazed' steel bulkhead that reduces tyre roar from the front wheels by 24%.Ģ022 Range Rover interior design and technology In terms of size, the new Range Rover has a wheelbase that's 75mm longer than the outgoing car, while the LWB model adds another 200mm to that. SV customers can select from 14 SV unique colours while the SV Bespoke Match-to-Sample service provides limitless scope for custom colours. In all, you can choose from 12 paint finishes including solid, metallic and 'premium metallic' shades such as Lantau Bronze, Belgravia Green, Batumi Gold and Charente Grey. The outgoing car's split tailgate remains, however, giving you somewhere to sit while sheltered by the boot lid – it's something that's featured in every Range Rover since the 70s. Taillights and indicators that are only visible when illuminated (because they're hidden behind a smoked glass valance) are the easiest way to spot the new Range Rover from the old model. There's a contrast-colour detail where you used to see gills behind the front wheels and long-wheel-base models get a subtle 'L' badge in the C pillars. The modernisation of a familiar shape continues around the sides, where you now get door handles that recess into the bodywork when not in use and flush glass that help reduce the Range Rover's drag coefficient to 0.30Cd – a 0.2Cd improvement on the old model. They can turn off individual LEDs so you don't blind other road users with your full beams and can light up corners based on information from the car's sat-nav.Ī new feature is the Range Rover's Manoeuvring Lights that illuminate the area around the car to make it easier to see your immediate surroundings at night. They can project an image on startup, have scrolling indicators and an effective range of 500m. Two horizontal line's below the headlights emphasise the car's width and hide the car's various sensors.ĭigital LED headlights are fitted as standard. That starts with a front-end with components – its headlights, grille and lower bumper – that flow seamlessly into each other. It's styled to appear like it has been shaped from one piece of metal. You get the same upright windscreen, low window line and pronounced shoulders that have been on every model so far. One thing's for sure – it looks like a Range Rover. Land Rover says the new Range Rover should look as at home in front of an opera house as it does parked outside a farmhouse. Both of which offer more luxury but lack the Range Rover's go-anywhere heritage. High-end Range Rovers push across the county lines of cars like the Bentley Bentayga (£147,000) and Rolls Royce Cullinan (£264,000). It's more rugged than the Range Rover (arguably a posh alternative to the latest Land Rover Defender), but not as posh. So how does the Range Rover compare to the competition? The BMW X7 starts from £77,000 but is so ugly you'd need to be paid that to buy it, while the Mercedes G-Class starts at £109,000. Prices for posh SV models will be revealed at the same time, expect their price to start with a two and end with five zeros. ![]() ![]() Prices for the plug-in hybrid P440e and P510e will be revealed in 12 weeks but expect both to cost more than £100,000. The P400 starts from £98,000, the V8? It's only available in top-end trim levels and, because of this, carries an entry fee of at least £129,000. You can choose from the six-cylinder P400 with 400PS or do the job properly by snaring yourself the V8 P530 with – you guessed it – a thumping 530PS. Laugh in the face of wallet-crippling fuel economy? Then you'll want one of the petrol models. More power? The D350 strokes the same basic engine up to 350PS and charges you £97,500 for it. Even a 'basic' Range Rover starts from £94,000 - that buys you a car in SE trim with the entry-level D300 diesel engine with six cylinders and a healthy 300PS. ![]()
