Allowing all kinds of negative news to circulate on the Internet, but it does not affect the love of the rich, there are not many models with this absolute brand confidence and product appeal, but the Land Rover Range Rover is a typical representative of this type of car in the past ten or twenty years.
Land Rover Range Rover, has long become synonymous with million-level luxury SUV, unconsciously, the last replacement time of this SUV has reached 10 years, although the product strength is still enough, but according to the car life cycle, it has indeed reached the replacement time.
On the evening of April 21, the new generation of Range Rover was presented to Chinese consumers with a new attitude and a new look, and the official price of the new car was also announced: 1.468-249.8 million yuan. The new Range Rover has launched a total of 4 versions, all of which are long-axis versions, and compared with the starting price of the old long-axle models, the threshold for the price of the new car is reduced by 100,000 yuan (the starting price of the old model is 1.573 million yuan). In addition, the new Range Rover also launched a 7-seat version for the first time.
Although it is a replacement model, the front face design of the new Range Rover is not much different from the old model, and it is almost impossible to re-understand and recognize it, and it can be seen at a glance that this is the Range Rover.
The same is true for the side styling, the style and elements of the old model are basically used in the new car, the straight body line, the suspension roof, etc., the biggest difference is that the shark gills at the front door have become simple, and different colors are available, and the door handle has become an automatic telescopic structure. In response to change, this is the design concept of british car brands, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, McLaren, Jaguar and other car companies are so, when the rich adapt to this style, only need to make appropriate adjustments according to this style, if drastic changes, it may be a senseless risk.
The rear is the biggest change and the most controversial part of the new Range Rover, the shape is more rounded and full than the old model, and the range Rover's signature vertical arrangement taillights have become very slender, and now it is indeed much more pleasing to the eye than the first time.
There are 8 kinds of exterior colors, but in the future, more color schemes will be available, and various special editions and limited editions have different colors, and even personalized customization.
In terms of size, the new Range Rover has a length, width and height of 5252mm/2047mm/1870mm, and a wheelbase of 3197mm, which is significantly higher than that of the older long-wheelbase models.
Simplicity is the best adjective for the new Range Rover cabin style, and although the layout is similar to that of the old model, the hovering screen and the center console with fewer buttons can make people look much more comfortable. The 13.7-inch central control screen has a curved display effect, the new car engine system brings a new operating interface, while the air conditioning operation panel below is still composed of three screens.
The retro-shaped four-spoke steering wheel is the exclusive design of the luxury flagship model, which is not as simple and sporty as the three-spoke model, but it can give the driver a feeling of great authority and stability.
The window control button returns to the middle of the door panel, no longer the design of the old Land Rover on the window edge, and the "old for new" Range Rover owners need to adapt. Although the seat adjustment keys are simplified, the direction is controlled up to 24 times, and comfort functions such as massage are also supported. The door handle is cleverly hidden in the chrome position, and I wonder how many people will not find the place to open the car door?
The second row of entertainment system screen supports angle adjustment, which can realize external video source delivery, the central armrest also has a built-in screen for controlling seats, air conditioning, cabin lighting and other related functions, and the high-end model also has two side seat power leg rests, in short, you can imagine the rear seat of the distinguished configuration, the new Range Rover will be equipped.
The four main seats in the first and second rows are equipped with a pair of active noise-cancelling speakers, and the quiet effect of the new Range Rover is expected to be significantly improved.
The new Range Rover is equipped with the third row of seats, only the Grand Edition is a regular seat, the other three models are equipped with foldable simple seats, which are not suitable for driving, the practical significance is to fold in the trunk, open fishing or camping mode, that is, similar to the rolls-Royce Cullinan third row seat mode.
In terms of mechanical hardware, the new Range Rover is equipped with a four-wheel steering system for the first time, which is indeed a convenient feature for such a large SUV, the addition of 48V active anti-roll control system can also achieve a more stable driving attitude, and 1400N·m torque can minimize body roll when cornering.
In addition to the first version of the new Range Rover, the other three models are equipped with a 3.0T inline six-cylinder high-power turbocharged engine + 48V light hybrid system, with a maximum power of 400Ps, a peak torque of 550N·m, and an acceleration time of 5.9 seconds per 100 kilometers; the first version uses a 4.4T V8 twin-turbo engine with a maximum power of 530Ps, a peak torque of 750N·m, and zero-hundred acceleration in only 4.7 seconds. All models have an 8AT transmission and are equipped with Land Rover's second segment of intelligent all-terrain feedback adaptation.
For a top luxury car like the Range Rover, the analysis configuration does not seem to make much sense, even if it is the "lowest-end" model, it also has L2 automatic driving, 360 ° panoramic image, air suspension, rear seat power adjustment, 19-speaker British treasure audio, pixel-type full LED headlights, full car double-layer soundproof glass, rear electric sun blinds, etc., and there is no need to worry about the richness of functions.
In addition to the product experience of the car itself, the after-sales service of the new Range Rover is also quite distinguished, the maintenance of the first 3 years is completely free, the roadside assistance in the first 3 years is free, the free rescue of the lifelong accident vehicle, the free door-to-door pick-up and delivery car, the exclusive customer service hotline, the exclusive rest area, etc.
The price of the new Range Rover is still high, but it is cheaper than the old long-axle model, which is undoubtedly a very cost-effective option for its potential buyers. I know that the new generation of range Rover that has been fully upgraded still can't escape the crazy blows of keyboard players, and negative reviews such as poorly repaired Land Rovers and Indian cars will inevitably follow, but do the rich really care about online reviews? No, because at this moment, people who can afford it may have ordered or even about to pick up the car, sitting in such a quiet and advanced Range Rover carriage, how can they hear keyboard comments from the outside world?
