The new generation of Range Rover has been launched, and there are currently four models launched, one of which uses a new powertrain, the 4.4T V8 engine from BMW, which is slightly weaker in terms of power parameters than BMW with the same engine, but it does not prevent it from becoming the fastest Range Rover so far.
Leaving aside the first version of 4.4T, the other three are 3.0T, 400 horsepower versions, and the old model uses the same engine, which is a bit interesting at this time, because the same is the extended version, which is also 400 horsepower 3.0T, the price of the new model is 146.8-204.8 million yuan, and the old model is 157.3-1933 thousand yuan. Low-end is cheaper, high-end is more expensive.
If you don't look at the 7-seat version, then the same compared to the 5-seat version, the new model is obviously more expensive. There must be a reason for being expensive, especially if it is so expensive, in addition to the exterior styling, interior design, what are the substantial changes?
Overall change
Let's not look at the specific models, let's look at the overall changes. The new generation of Range Rover changes are obvious but not so obvious, and it is difficult to say that it has changed a lot in terms of appearance, but it has indeed changed everywhere. Less domineering, more rounded, and a sense of technology has improved.
For example, the front face grille, headlights, or you can see the shadow of the previous generation of models, after flattening. The lower encirclement runs through the left and right, and it is much softer. The shark fins on the sides became U-shaped and the door handles were hidden. The A/B/C/D columns are sprayed black, and the sense of technology is obviously improved.
If you think that the change in the front of the car is not so obvious, then the rear of the car can distinguish the difference between the old and the new. The black trim that runs across the rear of the car is not only decorative, the turn signals are hidden inside. The taillights became very narrow and arranged vertically, and this shape will be the mainstream in a few years.
The difference in the car is even greater, the steering wheel is made into a two-spoke type, and there is no domineering feeling in the past. The air conditioner outlet runs through the center console and is a popular design at present. The central control screen was originally two pieces, but now it has become one, and the size has increased. The air conditioning control area became very ordinary. The gear shift mechanism has become short electronic and is no longer a knob shift that can be raised and lowered. However, next to the gear lever, the driving mode switch retains the knob that can be raised and lowered, which is a kind of inheritance. If you use grace and luxury to describe the old model, then the new model is the new era of light luxury.
The new Generation Range Rover, like the old model, comes standard with a British Treasure sound, with 19 low-end sources and 29 high-end speakers on the headrest. The InControl OS 2.0 system supports CarPlay and CarLife, and the front row comes with a mobile phone wireless charging pad, which the older model did not have.
Terrain Response's second-generation intelligent all-terrain feedback adaptation system is standard, and the most intuitive thing is that the chassis can be seen, of course, this function is not unusual. The rear axle differential lock, which was originally available at the top of 400Ps, has become standard in the new generation. Another feature is the rear wheel active steering, which reduces the turning radius, which is necessary for models of this size.
Streaming rearview mirrors are standard, and it's not surprising to appear on cars at this price point, or it can be said that the response is a bit slow. The rear screen starts from the second low, that is, the standard of the 5-seat version, and the price of the optional installation has also become lower. There is also a new control panel in the back row, which is not on the old model.
Comparison of specific models
After reading the whole, we will look at the comparison specific to the models. Because there is no 3.0T model with exactly the same price, so choose a close, the new generation chooses the 2022 3.0 L6 400PS Shengshi Extended Edition, the guidance price is 1.648 million yuan, and the old model chooses the 2022 3.0 L6 400PS Heirloom Extended Classic Edition, the guidance price is 1.573 million yuan.
The advantages of the new model are: 360-degree panoramic image, reversing side warning, full-speed domain adaptive cruise, automatic parking, active rear wheel steering, rear axle differential lock, wading induction, front mobile phone wireless charging, boss key, rear control screen, streaming media rearview mirrors, and heated water jets.
The older model has the following advantages: 22-inch rim, steering wheel heating, front seat massage, 230V power supply, car refrigerator.
From the configuration level alone, the advantages of the new model are greater, if it does not involve terminal price fluctuations such as mark-ups or preferential treatment, then the difference of 75,000 yuan is actually cost-effective for the new model.
The V8 version is super cost-effective
After watching the 3.0T version, let's talk about the version of V8, maybe there are really affordable in the audience. After all, it is the brand flagship, and Land Rover still needs a V8 to support the scene. This generation of Range Rover abandoned the 5.0L machine plus V8 that had been used for many years and asked BMW instead to buy a 4.4T. Because it is a bought engine, it is certainly not as strong as BMW installed on its own car. But that's it, the V8 version of the new Range Rover is also the fastest to date, with a 0-100km/h acceleration of 4.7 seconds.
We don't know what price bmw engine bought, and Land Rover will not disclose it, but in terms of the price has not changed, it should not be too cheap, of course, it may be because the old model is too expensive.
The new engine has a maximum horsepower of 530Ps, slightly smaller than the old model, but with a torque of 750 N·m, which is stronger than the old model. Coupled with BMW's tuning, the power on the wheel may be surpassed. So the acceleration ability is so strong.
Looking at the configuration, because the price is exactly the same as the old SVA Yaodong version, we will compare these two versions. The new advantages are: 23-inch rim, automatic parking, rear wheel active steering, wading induction, front mobile phone wireless charging, rear LCD screen, rear control screen, streaming media mirrors, rear electric sun blinds, and heated water spray nozzles. The advantages of the old model are: rear seat massage, laser headlights.
It can be seen that the new configuration level is more advanced, but I don't know why the laser headlights have been cancelled, it may be that it is of little use, after all, the conditions for opening are very harsh.
To put it simply, the new generation of Range Rover is improving, even if it is a price increase, it is reasonable. Especially the V8 version, if you are not bad money, willing to spend money, choose this at least better than the old model. But Land Rover with BMW engine, always feel a little loss, after all, BMW's same 4.4T X5M is less than 1.5 million yuan, acceleration is faster.
