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. [1] [2] [3] It is built upon Jaguar Land Rover's new MLA-Flex platform, which underpins large vehicles that either use straight-six or V8 engines. [4] Eight PHEV models were available from launch, however As of 2023, the L460 launch consists of 12 models. The car will be the first from JLR to use an engine developed under the combustion and electrified powertrain partnership agreed between JLR and BMW in 2019, the 4.4L BMW/JLR V8 engine. [5] [4]

At launch, models consisted of the P440e, P510e, P360, P400, P530, D250, D300, and the D350. As of 2023 (late), models consist of the P400, P460e, P510e, P550e, P530, P615, D250, D300, and the D350. Produced since mid-2022, the L460 is built at the Solihull plant in Solihull, United Kingdom.

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 (2.1 in) longer, 63 mm (2.5 in) wider, and 35 mm (1.4 in) higher, while its wheelbase has grown by 22 mm (0.87 in). For the long-wheelbase model, as the SWB model, its length has also grown by 53 mm (2.1 in), while its wheelbase as grown by 75 mm (3.0 in). [6] 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. [6] [7]

For the first time on a Land Rover, the L460 is the first vehicle to offer four-wheel steering. [7] 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. [8] [9] Rear-wheel steering is also available with a turning circle of up to 7.3 degrees. [8] 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. [8] 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 km/h (22 and 99 mph), which reduces drag losses by 30 per cent and decrease its CO2 emissions by 4g/km. [8]

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. [10] [11] The L460 also features 23-inch wheels, upgrading from the 22-inch of the previous iteration.

2024 update

In 2023, for the 2024 model year, Land Rover has replaced the P440e with the more powerful P550e. The P615 is added, and the SV Bespoke program is available on the Range Rover which provides buyers with a seven-step process through colours, interiors, materials themes and more. To help promote the SV Bespoke program, Land Rover revealed the limited Carmel Edition at the 2023 Monterey Car Week. Priced at 371,345 USD, only seven models of the Carmel Edition will be built. The Carmel Edition features 23-inch wheels, two-tone upholstery, embroidered pillows, and pearl oyster accents. [12] [13]

All engines are coupled with an eight-speed automatic gearbox with a low-range capability, and supply power to the wheels through an all-wheel-drive system which can decouple the front axle to improve efficiency under certain driving conditions. [4] The plug-in hybrid variants use a 38.2-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery (with 31.8 kWh usable). [15]

From launch, it was the first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car with doors, and an available hard roof. Contrary to conventional car and truck chassis, it used a sturdier fully box-welded frame. Furthermore, due to post-war steel shortage, and aluminium surplus, Land Rovers received non-rusting aluminium alloy bodies, favouring their longevity. In 1992, Land Rover claimed that 70% of all the vehicles they had built were still in use.
