Friends who know Range Rover should know that range rover is a set of powerful off-road energy and high-end luxury in one of the SUV models, some time ago the new fifth generation Range Rover announced the pre-price of two special edition models, respectively, 2.0988 million yuan and 2.5188 million yuan, high-end models plus various taxes, landing more than 300 W! 3 million of it, in the end has it gone to a higher level on the basis of its predecessors? With such doubts in mind, let's plate it.
01
Appearance: Traditional while remaining concise
The first time I saw the Range Rover in person, I was like most people, this... The new Range Rover? 300W landing it on this? It feels no different from the old model! But how should a classic and successful luxury car like the Range Rover or the Porsche 911 be designed? Too avant-garde, or too much change, will lose the original lineage, less heritage, but can not always change nothing, so the appearance of the new Range Rover can only be slightly changed on the basis of the predecessor.
02
Interior: The lifting and shifting knobs are no longer there
The interior and exterior of the new Range Rover, like the exterior, are inherited from the design of the previous generation, but the details are adjusted to show their identity as a new generation.
In order to meet the needs of different users, the whole range of Range Rover also provides a variety of exterior colors and interior collocations for consumers to choose, and local tycoons can prepare their new car in advance.

The 530 hp is manic and the PHEV is environmentally friendly
In terms of power, the new generation of Range Rover in terms of gasoline engines, the P360 and P400 models use a 3.0T inline six-cylinder twin supercharged engine + 48V light hybrid system, the maximum power is 360/400 hp, the peak Nm 500/550 Nm, the top model P530 will use a 4.4T twin-turbo V8 engine, the maximum power of 530 hp, the peak torque of 750 Nm, all match ZF 8AT gearbox.
The new car will also launch a gasoline engine plug-in hybrid model, which is composed of a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine and motor, providing two versions of P440e and P510e, of which the maximum power of the motor is 105kW, and with a lithium battery pack of 38.2kWh, the maximum pure electric mileage is 100km, and I did not expect that this strong man can also have an environmental protection concept.
The new generation of Range Rover comes standard with full-time all-wheel drive and all-terrain systems, in which the standard axle model is close to an angle of 34.7 degrees, the departure angle is 29 degrees, and the wading height of 900mm is still maintained through the angle of 25.2 degrees, coupled with the addition of long-travel adjustable air suspension, the off-road capability of the new Range Rover is still the best in the same class. But how many car owners will drive it off-road?
In addition, the new car also has a four-wheel steering system, and still uses an all-aluminum body, and the body stiffness is 50% higher than the old model. After all, the first version of the model has a length of more than 5.2 meters, four-wheel steering and a higher intensity body, which is expected to bring some agile performance to the big fat man.

A review of range rover history
First Generation Range Rover: 1970-1996
970 Range Rover first model release, the original Range Rover is not as good as today's Range Rover shows a high-end luxury side, the original Range Rover is a powerful model, for a simple example you know, the original Range Rover seats, dashboards are all made of plastic, so that you can wash directly with water pipes after the owner cross-country. what？ Is this still the high-end luxury Range Rover we remember?
Of course, the first generation of Range Rover already used a lightweight all-aluminum V8 engine, and has a full-time four-wheel drive system and four-wheel disc brakes, which also makes it powerful enough.
But in fact, what surprised me the most was not the plastic seat of the original Range Rover, but its victory in rally? In 1979, the first Dakar Rally championship car was the Land Rover Range Rover, and in the subsequent 1981 and 1984, the Land Rover Range Rover also reached the top of the Dakar Rally again.
Second Generation Range Rover: 1995-2002
In September 1994, the second generation of range rover was officially released, it still maintains the tough appearance of the original range rover, but in the face of opponents like mercedes-Benz G-class, the second generation of range rover also uses a lot of magic weapons, such as air suspension, while ensuring the suspension travel required for off-road, greatly improving the comfort of daily driving. Even the small facelift Land Rover Range Rover, launched in 1997, can also be equipped with a satellite navigation system.
It is these changes that make the Range Rover no longer a pure off-road vehicle, and more and more celebrities choose the Range Rover as their scooter. It's like a country boy who, through his own hard work, breaks out of his own world in the big city.
Third Generation Range Rover: 2002-2012
The third generation of range rover, launched in 2002, has entered the luxury market and has moved away from the traditional girder body to a load-bearing body that is more suitable for urban road conditions. In 2005, Land Rover brought the Range Rover Sports Edition, providing richer choices for local tycoons.
Fourth Generation Range Rover: 2012-2022
The fourth generation of the Range Rover should be familiar to everyone, he was unveiled at the 2012 Paris International Motor Show, it is the world's first SUV model with a lightweight all-aluminum body, so that it loses 420 kilograms compared to the previous model. While slimming down, the fourth-generation Range Rover has not lost its off-road genes, equipped with the second generation of intelligent all-terrain feedback adaptation system and ATPC all-terrain process control system and many other innovative off-road auxiliary functions, it is still a luxurious SUV with strong comprehensive performance.
