The 2022 Range Rover has been revealed. As the fifth-generation of one of the world’s most recognised cars, the all-new Range Rover treads a careful path between evolution and revolution. New features include the option of seven seats in the long-wheelbase model, as well as an all-electric powertrain that’ll arrive in 2024.

In this CarGurus UK video, Vicky Parrott takes a first look at the 2022 Range Rover, which is Land Rover’s first model to sit on a new ‘MLA-Flex’ platform that’s designed for both pure electric and combustion-engine applications, and plug-in hybrid models. We won’t see the pure electric version until 2024, but in the meantime there are two plug-in hybrids – the Range Rover P440e and P510e - both with a class-leading electric range of 62 miles, rapid charging up to 50kW (also a rarity in PHEVs), and a six-cylinder 3.0-litre petrol engine to keep you going when the 38.2kWh battery is depleted. CO2 emission of under 30g/km are likely to make it popular with company car buyers.

A variety of 3.0-litre, six-cylinder mild hybrid diesels with varying power outputs are likely to be popular with private buyers, while a couple of mild hybrid petrol 3.0-litre, six-cylinder engines and a 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 finish off the lineup.

Equipment levels are generous even on the standard Range Rover, while Autobiography models will up the style ante with panoramic glass roof, bigger wheels and more, and the SV (Special Vehicle) model will bring personalisation options and even more style swagger.

This version of the Range Rover is intended to push even further upmarket into Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan territory, so the materials and tech are classier than ever. If the seven seat model isn’t for you, there’s a standard rear bench or a two-person executive seat layout that can even be specced with a swivelling table that rises up in between the seats.

As for the tech, Amazon Alexa is the integrated voice control system for the slick touchscreen system, as is wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Opt for the SV and you can choose from any number of smart, modern finishes ranging from a leather-free interior that uses recycled plastics, to ceramic-finishes on the door cards. Naturally, if you want to you can completely personalise your Range Rover in any fashion that you wish… if your pockets are deep enough.

All the other vital Range Rover traits remain. Fully adaptive air suspension and a new generation of Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2 system promises to maintain its famous off-road prowess and towing capacity. It’ll still wade in 900mm of water (PHEV versions included) and tow up to 3,500kg with a braked trailer. On top of that, standard all-wheel steering is now said to improve low-speed manoeuvrability, although we are yet to drive it so we’ll have to wait until 2022 before we find out for ourselves.

The mk 5 Range Rover is available to order from the end of 2021, with deliveries starting in the first half of 2022.
