The Land Rover Range Rover continues to set the standard for luxury SUVs with its impressive blend of heritage, modern design, and advanced technology. Updating both the exterior and interior aesthetics, the latest iteration maintains the iconic silhouette but emphasises more refined details and cutting-edge capabilities. The new model offers significant enhancements in performance, technology integration, and eco-friendliness, making it an appealing choice for both adventurers and luxury seekers alike. Its bold stance and luxurious interior make the Range Rover a remarkable vehicle that commands attention and respect on the road.
The starting price for the Land Rover Range Rover is approximately ₹1.10 crores for the base model. Prices can escalate to nearly ₹2.5 crores for the more opulent trims loaded with luxurious features and advanced technology. The various trims available cater to a broad range of preferences and budgets, ensuring buyers can select the model that best fits their lifestyle and desires.
The 2024 Land Rover Range Rover was officially unveiled in January 2024, signalling the continuation of Land Rover’s legacy of crafting premium all-terrain vehicles. Pre-orders began shortly after the launch, with first deliveries scheduled for March 2024.
The Land Rover Range Rover is available in several variants catering to diverse tastes. The primary configurations include a Standard Wheelbase (SWB) model that focuses on luxury and everyday practicality. The SUV is further available in a Long Wheelbase (LWB) iteration that offers additional legroom and comfort in the rear seats. There are three main variants: HSE, Autobiography, and SV. The entry-level HSE features a Meridian 3D sound system and gets semi-Aniline leather seats alongside a power tailgate. The Autobiography variant adds digital LED headlamps with signature DRL and image projection. It further features a distinct exterior trim. The top-of-the-range SV variant gets a sliding panoramic sunroof alongside 24-way heated and cooled electric front seats with Executive Class Comfort Plus rear seats.
The Range Rover showcases a refined design that embodies its off-road capability and luxury heritage. The sleek body lines and sculpted silhouette give it an elegant yet formidable presence on the road. The vehicle features distinctive LED headlights and taillights, a signature grille, and optional 23-inch wheels that enhance its road presence. The updated model also introduces a new colour palette, including subtle metallic shades that further tailor the aesthetic appeal to personal tastes.
Inside, the Range Rover continues to impress with a cabin designed for comfort and luxury. Premium materials, including leather upholstery, wood veneers, and metal accents, are used throughout the interior to create an inviting atmosphere. The spacious cabin offers a state-of-the-art infotainment system with a large touchscreen interface that integrates seamlessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Rear passengers benefit from generous legroom and the option for heated and cooled seats, creating a luxurious experience that rivals high-end hotels.
The Range Rover is available with three hybrid engine options. The 3.0-litre diesel mild-hybrid unit makes 345 bhp and 700 Nm of torque. The 4.4-litre mild-hybrid petrol unit makes 606 bhp and 750 Nm of torque. The Range Rover is further available with a 3.0-litre plug-in hybrid engine in its top variants and this makes 542 bhp and 800 Nm of peak torque.
The Range Rover offers respectable fuel efficiency for a luxury SUV, with an estimated mileage of 10-13 kmpl depending on driving conditions and engine choice. The hybrid variant—an attractive option for eco-conscious consumers—promises enhanced efficiency while contributing to reduced carbon emissions.
Safety is paramount for the Land Rover Range Rover. The SUV comes equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a 360-degree camera system. Notably, it has received a five-star safety rating in recent crash tests. The multiple airbags and robust structure further ensure that passengers are well-protected in the event of a collision.
Flagship luxury SUVs across brands have some stellar highlights in terms of dominating road presence, an absolutely opulent cabin, features that cuddle every senses and a drive performance that's usually engineered to bully. But while the latest Range Rover claims to have all of these, it also pays rich tribute to its past with ample cues in the fifth-generation model from erstwhile versions.
Your chauffer deserves a pay raise! Any SUV in the segment that Range Rover falls in is hardly self-driven and the person behind the wheel has the task of driving a tank that's well over 5,200 meters in length in a battlefields that are Indian cities.
The Range Rover is a mammoth vehicle and while it is kitted with all kinds of assisted driving technologies mated to the 3-litre mild hybrid petrol motor, it sure does take quite some getting used to. The SUV doesn't quite like slow-paced, bumper-to-bumper traffic (frankly, who does anyway?). And it creeps its way forward while sipping generously on fuel - one can almost see the fuel gauge falling with the naked eye. But once the roads open up, the Range Rover silently rumbles forward with superb finesse. The eight-speed auto gearbox ticks the right numbers at the right time and with 400 bhp and 700 Nm of torque at your disposal, the path forward is yours for the taking.
The Range Rover weighs around 2.5 tonne but on the move, its weight is hardly ever felt. It isn't obviously built for sprints but press the throttle and the entire fortress of a frame moves ahead purposefully. Ride comfort - perhaps its biggest test - is plush on well-paved roads but the enormous 22-inch wheels mean that pot holes weren't exactly blown to oblivion as the Range Rover passed over. The air suspensions, however, do try their best.
Of course, this SUV is also a true-blue off-road beast and even though - honest admission here- we did have the guts to test a multi-crore vehicle in uncharted territories on our very own, it does boast of Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2 system, 294 mm of ground clearance and a wading depth capability at 900 mm. For the masses, Mahindra Thar has a water wading capacity of 650 mm.
Flagship SUVs almost always have cabins that are either flashy or stuffed with features. Or both. The 2022 Range Rover does have a mile-long list of features but its cabin is anything but flashy. Instead, it is deliberately understated in its LWB (long wheelbase) version.
Physical buttons are nearly extinct inside and almost every minute functionality can be operated through a tablet that is integrated into the foldable central armrest. This includes controls for back angle, expandable foot rest, the window shades, sunroof, ambient lights, heating and massage, and more. And if that's still not enough to impress, there are two 11.4-inch screens on the back of the front seats which come with headphones each.
The rear-left passenger seat is the place to unwind in for sure but even if you are made to sit in the front, there's much to be impressed with. A 13.1-inch infotainment screen, a 13.7-inch driver display and a 35-speaker Meridian system are all tailor-made to elevate the experience of the drive itself. And once it is time to take a break, open the trunk door for a fold-out section where you can park yourself for a picnic. Climbing in though can be a challenge from any of the five doors of the vehicle and although the car lowers itself for entry, it still may be a slight challenge for many. Also, and for anyone asking, this is a five-seater SUV.
The Range Rover is likely to occupy space of at least two ‘conventional’ cars. At least. But while it has huge proportions from the outside, it is a gentle giant to look at. Much like how the cabin is carefully understated, the exterior design language is captivatingly minimalist.
Whether it is the vertical strip LED tail-lights, flush door handles, the assimilated fog lights on the bumper - the 2022 Range Rover lets its visual aura do the talking. The similarities between this and the first-gen Range Rover are uncanny but it is indeed remarkable how the designers have ensured a beautiful confluence of modernity with tradition in the vehicle's overall design language.
The latest Range Rover starts at around ₹2.4 crore and the model in this review is at ₹3.50 crore (ex-showroom). Now that's some serious money for an SUV that's seriously big, seriously capable and seriously opulent.
In a market that is dominated by the German brands, Range Rover continues to target the power players who appreciate the finer points rather than the flashier bits. The Range Rover than offers that perfect exclusivity factor that is at ease and in command wherever it goes.
