![]() The majority of models will be available with this engine, at least at the beginning. This unit delivers a stout 523 horsepower and 553 pounds of twist. ![]() Next up, a new 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 sourced from BMW replaces Land Rover's old supercharged 5.0-liter. Altogether, this setup gets you 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The base offering is a 3.0-liter turbocharged I6 augmented by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, which should provide a bit of extra oomph as well as seamless stop-start events. Underneath its towering hood, the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover offers a diversity of powertrains, some as familiar as an old friend and others that are brand-spankin' new. For enhanced grip, a locking rear differential is standard, while the Terrain Response 2 system, with its six driver-selectable modes, allows you to tailor how the vehicle behaves on different surfaces, from snowy highways to boulder fields to sand dunes and practically everything in between. This luxury SUV should have up to 11.6 inches of ground clearance and the ability to wade through 35.4 inches of water. For a little context, that's less than a Honda Civic sedan.īut what about capability? The Range Rover has always been able to scale mountains and ford raging rivers, something that will not change for 2022. Rear-wheel steering trims the vehicle's turning circle to just 36 feet, the smallest of any Land Rover SUV ever. This allows the back wheels to turn up to 7 degrees for enhanced agility at low speeds and greater stability on the highway. Enhancing agility, rear-axle steering is included across the 2022 Range Rover model lineup, too. The Integrated Chassis Control system preemptively fine-tunes how the vehicle reacts to varying road conditions for a smoother ride. Ironing out roadway imperfections, electronic air suspension is standard. This foundation should make the vehicle safer and more refined than ever. The MLA-Flex architecture is made of about three-quarters aluminum and boasts 50% greater torsional stiffness than its predecessor. Backing those looks up with substance, the 2022 Range Rover is built on a new platform. ![]() Substance to match the styleīut a pretty face isn't enough. The new model is a real looker, refreshingly different from major competitors like the brash Cadillac Escalade and overwrought BMW X7. While addressing media at a preview event, Gerry McGovern, chief creative officer of Jaguar Land Rover, described the 2022 Range Rover as "a master class in restraint." He said keeping things clean and reducing styling elements to their essence is one of the hardest things to do in design, though his team has clearly succeeded in our view. No trim, creases or unnecessary add-ons this vehicle looks super clean. But keeping this SUV grounded in the 21st century, it also features things like retractable exterior door handles, a two-tone paint job and the latest in lighting technology. Note the falling roofline, strong shoulder and rising sill, traits that have been nameplate mainstays for five decades. The result of this design restraint is an SUV that looks stunning in person and is around 12% more aerodynamic than before.Įven though it looks like a concept car, with its uncluttered front end, slab sides and slitted vertical taillamps, plenty of classic Range Rover styling cues have been retained. There are no superfluous lines, tacked-on accents or bulging fenders and there's no grossly oversized grille dominating its face ( ahem, Audi and Lexus). Visually, the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover is cleaner than the Pine-Sol lady's kitchen floor. Now in its fifth generation, this trend-setting luxury SUV offers more opulence, technology and seating capacity than ever before, yet it's also more environmentally responsible. No, it doesn't look that new - the outgoing model is supersleek, too - but the 2022 Range Rover has been comprehensively overhauled.
