What do China's big brothers like to drive? Song Simin in "Snail Residence" recommended the Range Rover, according to him, "this man driving, bloody"!
At present, the new generation of Range Rover has been confirmed to land in the domestic market in the year of the Chinese Nongyin Tiger, and was officially launched at the Beijing Auto Show on April 21, with the pre-price of the two configuration models of the new car being 2.5188 million yuan and 2.0988 million yuan respectively.
According to the news, the first batch of car owners need to increase the price by 500,000 yuan to pick up the car, which means that the new car will bypass the previous competitors BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS, and the price will be further aligned with Bentley Bentley! So does it have the strength? Let's take a look now.
Seemingly unchanged, in fact, it is reborn
At first glance, the new Range Rover may seem to be no different from the current model, but as the saying goes, "the devil is out of the details"! In fact, Land Rover has redesigned this model in many places, such as a more flat and smooth body line, so that the aura of this car is more integrated, and the flat design of the headlights and grille at the front of the car also has a futuristic sense of the Range Rover star vein.
The side is also a soft and flat shape, here also thanks to the addition of hidden door handles, making this car more "modern" atmosphere, and the U-shaped "cheek piece" moved to the front door also fits the overall design language, looking very straight and simple.
The most earth-shaking change is nothing less than the rear, the slender body is tied to the smooth and flat rounded rectangle of the rear, which has the taste of a Rolls-Royce-like British old-school luxury car. The slender vertical taillights, when extinguished, are integrated with the upper penetrating decorative strips, which is very futuristic. The design of the entire rear of the car is personally considered to be a textbook that takes into account both retro and avant-garde.
There are also people here who are worried that such a thin "light strip" will not be visible at night? Here I think it is redundant, first of all, under the popularity of LED light sources, the area has long been not the only standard of "bright or not", the luminous flux of this taillight must have reached the standard under today's regulations before mass production delivery, this point the engineers of the depot have already had a number, we don't have to worry.
The large-screen interior is more technological and stylish
The interior of the new car has also changed the old-school greasy feeling of the current model, the simple design coupled with the horizontal and vertical lines, quite want to see the performance car, and the carriage uses different materials and a variety of colors, but also a good creation of the texture of the luxury car.
The new 13.1-inch suspension central control screen + 13.7-inch full LCD instrument + HUD display, which sets off a certain sense of science and technology, and the interface UI system of the central control has appeared on the new Jaguar model, and its single-interface operation logic is still quite easy to get started.
The shape of the electronic barrier + liftable all-terrain feedback system knob below can also be found on the new F-PACE.
Available in two wheelbases, 7 seats were added for the first time
The new car is still available in two wheelbase models, namely the standard axle (5052/2209/1870mm long, 2997mm, wheelbase 2997mm) and the long shaft (5252/2209/1870mm, wheelbase 3197mm), which is one lap larger than the current model, and the long-axle model is expected to add a seven-seat layout for the first time.
In addition, as can be seen from the official picture, the thickness of the seats in the third row, as well as the space, are very good, and the practicality is greatly improved.
The new MLA-Flex platform + BMW V8 power
Of course, the new car is also the first model built by Land Rover based on the MLA-Flex platform, in addition to the structural rigidity of the all-aluminum body increased by 50%, the new car benefits from excellent ductility, and will also lay out more power systems, in addition to light mix and plug-in models, pure electric version models will also be unveiled in the future.
However, here, I would still prefer to recommend the most powerful P530 version for the big brothers, because it is equipped with a 4.4T V8 twin-turbo engine from the BMW Group, with a maximum output of up to 530PS, a maximum torque of 750N·m, and a 0-100km/h only 4.7s! Faster than the old 5.0 SC version, can you stand it?
And BMW power is naturally also with the "water and milk blend" ZF 8AT variable box, according to the overseas media test drive feedback, the power output of the new car will be more smooth, the shift logic is more reasonable, and the overall sports performance is stronger.
After a $500,000 markup, do you choose Bentley Bentayga or choose it?
After the 500,000 markup, the price of the new generation of Land Rover Range Rover models is close to the guidance price of the Bentley Bentayga V8 model, so which of these two cars should be chosen?
There is no doubt that both are British royal cars, but from the brand height, Bentley naturally wins a lot, but this also means that want to own this car is not so simple and cheap, as a Bentley, you have to choose it, the configuration is enough to choose the level of the Range Rover, there is no 3.5 million will certainly not be able to drive!
In addition, compared with the luxurious Bentley Bentayga, the Land Rover Range Rover is obviously much more versatile from the hardcore off-road SUV, and it is more restrained temperament, and it is more suitable for business, and the respected entrepreneurs open themselves or sit in the back row, there is no sense of violation, so to some extent, the market radiation of the Range Rover is broader.
What do you think? If you had the same budget, would you choose range Rover or Bentley Bentayga? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
