In October 2021, the totem of the Land Rover brand, the new generation of Range Rover, made its world debut. As a "local tycoon" model with a very high degree of recognition around the world, the popularity of the Range Rover in China is self-evident, and this blockbuster replacement has naturally caused an uproar in the domestic car market, successfully attracting the attention of countless people.
The new generation of Range Rover after the appetite of the local tycoons, but also recently officially opened the pre-sale in China, this pre-sale provides two models, one for the new generation of Range Rover P400 model extended version, the pre-sale price of 2.0988 million yuan, and the other for the new generation of Land Rover Range Rover P530 premiere version, pre-sale of 2.5188 million yuan. According to the news, the pre-sale of these two versions of the new generation of Range Rover has exceeded 9,000 units in just one hour, which is enough to see the love of local tycoons.
So as the pioneer of large luxury SUVs, the successors of the excellent results of previous models, what is the magic of the new generation of Range Rover, which has attracted many "local tycoons" to flock to it? Let's take a look.
First of all, the new generation of Range Rover is based on Land Rover's new MLA-FLEX architecture, the same as the fourth generation model, still available in two types of standard axle and long axle, the standard axle of the three circumference of 5052/2047/1870mm, wheelbase of 2997mm, and the long shaft version of 5252/2047/1870mm, wheelbase of 3197mm, the overall size compared to the current model slightly increased.
In terms of the appearance of the new car, the overall silhouette and elements are well inherited from the style of the fourth-generation model, the classic mussel shell engine cover has been retained, and the inverted trapezoidal middle net and L-shaped light group are also roughly the same as before, but the overall line is more straight and simple.
The classic "shark gill" element of the side has also been retained, and the through-line waistline extends from the top of the shark's gills to the rear of the car, and with the hidden door handle, the entire side looks cleaner and cleaner.
The rear of the new car is no longer angular, the overall contour is much rounder, two narrow longitudinal taillights stand on both sides of the rear, and a horizontal black trim strip connects the light sets, this design makes the Range Rover a little more refined, less "rugged and luxurious".
In terms of interior, the new generation of Range Rover is also more refined, the largest 13.1-inch full LCD instrument and 13.7-inch frameless suspension central control screen in the history of the Land Rover family set a good scientific and technological tone for the entire interior; the newly designed multi-functional steering wheel style is retro and novel; at the same time, the interior uses a large number of leather, solid wood trim panels and chrome trims, giving the new generation of Range Rover the sense of grade; it is worth mentioning that the new generation of Range Rover will replace the knob-type gear handle with an electronic gear handle, Seems to be missing a bit of classic taste.
In terms of power, the P400 model extended version of the new generation Range Rover this time adopts the power layout of Injeli's 3.0L dual supercharged engine + 48V motor, which is a high-power version with a maximum horsepower of 400 horses and a peak torque of 550 Nm. The subsequent low-power version of the P360 model has the same power layout, but with only 360 horsepower and a peak torque of 500 Nm. The P530 premiere is powered by a V8 4.4T twin-turbo engine code-named N63 from BMW, with a maximum horsepower of 530 hp and a peak torque of 750 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, the new generation of Range Rover is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard and matches the four-wheel drive system.
Write at the end
In general, the appearance of the new generation of Range Rover interior and configuration, compared to the current model has a lot of improvements, the launch of the P400 model extended version of the model for high-end models, compared to the current Range Rover, its pre-price of more than 2 million is also reasonable; and the P530 premiere version as a model equipped with V8 engine set a pre-price of 2.5188 million yuan, for a number of "local tycoons" can even be said to be very cost-effective, And the order volume of 9,000 in one hour is enough to show the attractiveness of the new Range Rover for the majority of consumers.
