Land Rover is a very interesting car, cheap cars to reduce the price, expensive cars to increase the price. The flagship range rover is priced at a strong price all year round and is very expensive. It is deeply loved by rich big men from all walks of life. The new generation of Range Rover is expected to be listed on April 21, the new design and materials, and more technological, the two pre-sale models given in the early stage are 2.0988 million yuan and 2.5188 million yuan, the former is a 3.0T model extended version, the latter is a 4.4T Range Rover premiere version, it can be seen that the 3.0T model is rising, the amplitude is more than 100,000 yuan, so is the new generation of Range Rover worth such a price increase?
Motivation surprises? The price is hectic?
It's usually the look of the first thing, but the power of the new Generation Range Rover is very interesting and worth talking about first. It is reported that the new generation of Range Rover has a variety of power units, including a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine, a 4.4T V8 engine, and a PHEV version that will be added in the future.
The 3.0T engine is actually an old friend, and like the current Range Rover above, it has an inline six-cylinder, turbocharged, and 48V light mix. The P360 model has a maximum horsepower of 360 PS and the P400 model has a maximum horsepower of 400 PS. Match the 8AT gearbox, there is not much to say. Focusing on the 4.4T engine, this engine can actually see who it is from the displacement. Why did Land Rover abandon the 5.0 engine that had been used for many years in favor of BMW's engine?
First of all, the engine of the 5.0 machine is from Ford, it has been many years, and the horsepower performance is still good, but the fuel consumption and emissions are not very optimistic. Because Land Rover and the parent company do not have the strength of their own research and development, not without ability, but the development costs money, the volume can not be reached, and the cost cannot be shared. So I chose BMW's 4.4T engine, that is, the one above the BMW M5, as a reference, the maximum horsepower on the BMW is 600Ps, 635Ps, and in the Range Rover, it should not be so aggressive, about 530Ps.
In terms of drive form, it is still four-wheel drive, equipped with Dynamic Response Pro system, four-wheel steering and so on. At present, there is a 4.4T Range Rover premiere version of the pre-sale model, with a pre-price of 2.5188 million yuan, which is slightly more expensive than the current 5.0 SC V8 565PS SVA Yaodong Edition, but it is not clear the configuration level, so it cannot arbitrarily say that the price increase or price reduction. However, the 3.0T Range Rover model extended version has exceeded the price of all current 3.0T models, and it is indeed a price increase.
Exterior design: flat and very modern
Looking back at the styling design, the exterior styling of the new Range Rover can still see the shadow of the previous generation, but it is obvious that this is a new car, which is enough to see that the designer still has some ability. The overall layout of the front of the car and the current model have not changed much, such as the middle net and the headlights on both sides, but a lot of flat design has been done, and the entire front of the car can not see the protruding part, on a flat surface. At this level, it doesn't take too many fancy elements to work well.
If you don't look at the rearview mirrors on the side, it is almost a flat surface, and the classic shark gill shape on the side has become a silver U-shaped trim, and the door handle is hidden, and the upper and lower color separations are done.
The tail has made a minimalist design, the tail lights, trim strips are very small, the overall has become a little rounded, the sense of futurism is a little. The taillights are arranged vertically, placed on both sides, connected by a black strip in the middle, with the Land Rover's English logo on it, and the turn signals are hidden at both ends of this strip. The lower enclosure is made black, the skid plate is silver, and the exhaust looks hidden, but it can also be seen from a lower viewing angle.
Interior design: a fusion of luxury and modern technology
This time, the changes in the car are not smaller than those outside the car, and they are flattened with the outside of the car. The upper and lower color separations of the central control screen, the upper part is dark color, the lower part is light color, and the middle is divided by the air conditioner outlet, which is straight and connected to the dashboard, which looks very harmonious. The central control screen is not embedded, but suspended, and because of the size, it extends down a section, here is a BUG, is it possible for the driver to knock on the leg? Only when the real car comes, it will be verified.
The lower part of the center console is the air conditioning control area, the touch-type design, good to use us to see the individual, the gear shift area uses some wood grain trim, there should be a wireless charging function of the mobile phone, the gear shift lever is made electronic, there are some control knobs next to it, and the driving mode switch is made into a knob that can be lifted and lowered, which is to retain some classic elements of Land Rover.
Of course, full terrain feedback, iAWD, active lock rear differential, these land Rover's usual strong functions are also equipped, other intelligent digital LED headlights, Brembo brake calipers, streaming media mirrors, premium audio, rear screen, in general, the luxurious atmosphere in the car is full.
Affected by special circumstances, the Beijing Auto Show was postponed, and the Range Rover was originally listed at the Beijing Auto Show, but Land Rover obviously did not want to postpone the sale. At present, Land Rover attaches great importance to the domestic market, and the sincerity can be seen from the location of the listing in China and synchronized with overseas. The new generation of Range Rover itself is still remarkable, the price of the temporarily can not be determined to be a simple price increase, to wait for the listing to judge, but for the consumer group to buy Land Rover, this price is indeed nothing.
