Far behind us are the days when the Range Rover was virtually alone in its luxury SUV segment. The actors have multiplied, bringing with them different interpretations. The British icon now wants to reinvigorate itself with a fifth generation that wants to be less anachronistic thanks to its platform capable of electrifying itself.
But, while waiting for the arrival of this first all-electric livery, scheduled for 2024, the model takes its first steps on a brand new MLA-Flex chassis allowing two wheelbase lengths, according to the tastes of the buyers. However, you have to have a keen eye to see the aesthetic evolution of the SUV, which retains its trapezoidal grille high enough, but lined with thinner optics. It is especially the rear part that exhibits the most marked difference with its coated typographic hook acting as lighting.

Land Rover also promises a plug-in hybrid version with a range of around 100 km.
