"This is not an ordinary jeep, this is a Land Rover!" The British royal family's car, you think it is ugly, but I think it is the best looking one in the car, this driving man, bloody, all hope to have a Land Rover, in the city for a long time, all hope that they can be like a wild horse, a mane, the wind fluttering on the grassland. The Land Rover is a man's leg, the wind blowing in the air. You can't see this car in the city, and once you're out of town, especially on the mountain road, you know it's good. This is a classic dialogue of Song Siming played by Zhang Jiayi in the "Snail Residence" TV series, many domestic consumers are planted by this advertising output after watching the drama, and Song Siming opened the third generation range Rover, the flagship model of Land Rover.
Now, the Land Rover brand has finally brought the fifth generation of the new Range Rover, as the big brother of the family flagship model, the new model has almost all the top technical equipment of Land Rover, and for the first time has a 7-seater version, this article we will take a look at the new generation of Land Rover Model Extended Edition through the real picture how to build a new flagship in the era of electrification.
Range Rover models are more than 50 years old, and in 1969, Land Rover's Velar was officially launched. To keep the first Range Rover prototype a secret, to disguise its identity, engineers named it "Velar." In Italian, the word means disguise. Since the launch of the first Range Rover in 1970, the car has been constantly evolving. Due to changes in the market and urban environment, for many brand SUV vehicles began to slowly become urban SUVs, The Range Rover still maintained a good off-road performance.
The new generation of Range Rover is based on the MLA-Flex luxury electrified architecture, and the new platform is mainly to reduce the weight of the body and improve the quietness of the car. The model shot this time is a long wheelbase version. From the appearance, this car is more slender and rounded and delicate, this long wheelbase version of the Range Rover length, width and height are 5252 * 2047 * 1870mm, wheelbase is 3197mm, this data has obviously seen how long the body is, the length of the long wheelbase version has increased by 52mm, the wheelbase has increased by 75mm, and the rear legroom and the second row of sitting posture have been qualitatively improved.
The new smart digital LED headlights at the front are a continuation of the Land Rover family's design, with a beam range of up to 500 metres and a combination of Signature daytime running lights, dynamic turn signals, adaptive high beams and welcome lights. At the rear, the highly recognizable hidden taillights and turn signals are also controversial about the appearance of this model. The ultra-short front suspension and stern design make the body look very smooth. The nearly flush design of the window glass and ABCD columns greatly reduces the drag coefficient, which is only 0.3.
In addition, the new generation of Range Rover for the first time introduced advanced dynamic response system and four-wheel steering system, which can effectively make this behemoth easy to control, in a relatively small space to achieve more flexible body control. After all, it is a luxury SUV familiar to off-road, and the new generation range Rover standard chassis has a minimum ground clearance of 219mm, a proximity angle of 26.1, and a departure angle of 24.5 degrees. The minimum ground clearance for off-road chassis height is raised to 294mm and wading depth is 900mm.
The concealed door handle is not available on older models, also to reduce wind resistance. The original factory uses 23-inch 15-spoke silver effect aluminum alloy wheels. The real-time model adopts an optional blackening style. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a new P530 twin-turbo V8 engine, with a maximum power of up to 530 horsepower and a peak torque of 750 Nm. It is matched by an 8-speed automatic manual transmission from ZF and is equipped with an intelligent all-wheel drive system.
Coming to the interior part, because the new generation of Land Rover model extended version of the real-time model is an exhibition car borrowed from the United Kingdom, it also belongs to the trial installation project stage, and there will be certain differences with the mass production model, such as the real-time model or the fabric seat and so on. Therefore, in the interior part, we still use the overseas official interior drawings to interpret.
The new car's 13.7-inch LCD instrument panel features a semi-suspended design, while the 13.1-inch HD curved touch screen remains of a high standard. The car is equipped with the InControl OS 2.0 system, most of the functions are concentrated in this screen, and it is also a mainstream equipment of Jaguar Land Rover products. The fluency and touch feel are not bad. In addition, the rear row is equipped with two 11.4-inch LCD screens and supports the Hdmi interface.
The interior of the new Range Rover adopts semi-aniline perforated leather interior and rear executive seats, all of which are the materials and configurations of the top luxury cars currently on the market, and the luxurious atmosphere is very in place. The front row features commander-style seats with 24-way electric adjustment and massage. At the same time, the new generation of Range Rover Model Extended Edition also comes standard with a MeredianTM premium sound system with third-generation active noise reduction technology and steering wheel heating.
For the first time, the new car is also equipped with an air purification system, which uses dual nanoeTM X technology to effectively remove odors, bacteria, allergens, and significantly purify the air, and particles can be intercepted and purified without passing through the filter. At the same time, the new interior materials equipped with the new models are more avant-garde, and the personalized materials and styles that can be selected are also richer. Including innovative leather alternatives made in collaboration with European premium textile manufacturer Kvadrat combined with Ultrafabrics imitation leather materials, it achieves lightweighting while emitting only a quarter of the carbon footprint of conventional leather.
