Locally, there will be a choice of HSE and Autobiography models as well as a unique Autobiography based First Edition available exclusively in a Sunset Gold satin finish.
Both the Standard (SWB) and Long Wheelbase (LWB) body designs will be available with five seats and the LWB with an option of a third row of seats. Debuting in the Range Rover is the new BMW-sourced P530 4.4-litre V8 engine with two parallel twin-scroll turbos – one for each cylinder bank. It produces 390kW and 750Nm of torque and with Dynamic Launch engaged will get to 100km/h in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 250km/h. There’s also the D350 3.0-litre straight six turbo diesel with 257kW and 700Nm of torque that will get you to 100km/h in 6.1 seconds.
The third option is the new Extended Range P510e plug-in hybrid that combines Land Rover’s 375kW straight six petrol engine with a 38.2kWh lithium-ion battery and a 105kW electric motor with a range of 113km. Because of the instant torque it moves from standstill to 100km/h in 5.6 seconds.
All are driven through an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox powering all four wheels via Intelligent All-Wheel Drive hardware with a twin-speed transmission, giving it a selection of low-range gears for use when towing and driving off-road.
The Intelligent Driveline Dynamics uses Torque-on-Demand technology to optimise the torque split between front and rear axles, using a network of sensors to determine the best torque split for elevated traction in all conditions. In 2024 a full EV will be launched as part of Land Rover’s Reimagine strategy of bringing full-time zero tailpipe emissions to the Range Rover.
