Although there are still a few days to go before the official release date in the early morning of October 27, Beijing time, the new generation of Range Rover has been displayed in advance without reservation. Following the leak of the previous few new car official pictures, more real car pictures of the new generation of Range Rover have been leaked out a few days ago. Previously, foreign media said that the new generation of Range Rover's top power model will get a 4.4T V8 engine from BMW.
New car features:
The body design is smoother and has a flat design style
The headlight cluster cavity structure and the interior details of the front grille are completely new designs
Judging from the actual pictures of this exposure, the overall styling ratio of the new generation of Range Rover basically continues from the current model. Perhaps it is consumer dissatisfaction with the Discovery 5 styling that has led Land Rover to clearly adopt conservative principles towards the design of the new generation of Range Rover. In short, in addition to the new flat design style and local new details, it is not an exaggeration to say that the new generation of Range Rover in front of us is more like a mid-term modification.

Not limited to styling design, the latest real car drawing exposed this time also shows us more design details of the new generation of Range Rover. Among them, the new tailgate continues to adopt the upper and lower folio design, and has an electric opening and closing function, which can be said to be the classic design of Range Rover.
The steering wheel has a motorized adjustment function and is equipped with larger paddle shifters
The size of the headrests in the front seats has increased, and the wings on both sides of the headrests have been added, and the ride is expected to change
The interior pictures of this exposure show that the new car is equipped with a new LCD dashboard, which is not the concave design of the current model, but a new suspension processing, which is expected to improve the visual effects compared to the current Range Rover. At the same time, as the main interior difference from the current Range Rover, the new car is equipped with a large-size floating multimedia screen and electronic gear lever, and the center of the front seat is designed with freestanding armrests in addition to the armrest box hand pillows, which is also one of Land Rover's design traditions.
The overall functional layout of the interior is similar to that of the current Range Rover, but many details have been adjusted
The area shown in the picture is suspected to be a third row of seats, which may indicate that the new generation of Range Rover will add three-row seat models and is expected to be in a 6- or 7-seat layout
