The King is dead, long live the King!
With over 50 years of evolution, JLR has announced the arrival of the 5th generation Range Rover which takes the marque to a whole new level of luxury and sophistication. On sale later in 2022, the new Range Rover is rammed with new tech, from 4-wheel steering to power assisted doors as well as two wheelbases. In standard form the new Range Rover comes with five seats, but opt for the long wheelbase, that adds and an extra 200mm between the axles, and you can specify a third row of seats making it a seven seater. Powering the 2022 Range Rover will be two plug-in hybrid options. The first, badged P440e, combines a 3.0 litre straight six turbocharged petrol engine with a 38.2kWh battery and a 141bhp electric motor for a total combined output of 434bhp and 620Nm of torque. The second option, badged P510e, offers more power from its 3.0 litre petrol engine but uses the same battery and electric motor, taking the total combined output to 503bhp and 700Nm of torque. This package offers a 0-62mph time of 5.7-seconds and in EV driving mode a top speed of 87mph. The shared electrification across both plug-in choices means hybrid Range Rover variants can travel up to 62 miles on a full charge, with Land Rover claiming a real-world zero-emission range of 50 miles and CO2 emissions of less than 30g/km. Rapid charging capability at up to 50kW is included, so you can expect that 80% top-up will take less than an hour; a full charge takes five hours. 6
