Land Rover has re-defined what a luxury SUV is after revealing its fifth generation Range Rover. The sleek, round design is another step forward and sure to please longtime Range Rover lovers. There will be four different models (SE, Autobiography, First Edition, and SV) available, with the choice of a standard or long wheelbase, providing the capacity for four, five, or even seven seats in the cabin.
The 2022 Range Rover features an all-new base known as “MLA Flex.” Made from 80% aluminum and high and ultra high tensile steel, this new construction allows for the introduction of an electric motor, something Land Rover is keen on exploring with future models.

Other highlights include a 1600w Meridian Signature Sound System with 20w (60mm) speakers in the headrests, active noise cancellation, a cabin air purification system, power-assisted doors, an auto-dimming interior rear mirror, and 20-way heated electric front seats with power recline heated rear seats
While we can’t comment on how it drives, the new features introduced look like making the experience an absolute pleasure. The Electronic Active Rear Locking Differential offers more traction and grip no matter the terrain while Torque Vectoring by Braking assists cornering. The Dynamic Response Pro is another nifty gadget that surveys the road ahead and prepares the car for any obstacles or changing conditions before you get to them.
As far as engines go, there are a number of choices depending on the model of Range Rover you decided to splash out on. The standard SE comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 48-volt hybrid assistance capable of an impressive 395 hp and 406 lb-ft.
The Autobiography and First Edition are powered by the new 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that delivers 523 hp and 553 lb-ft. These models can also reach 60 mph in a tidy 4.4 seconds. Coming in 2021 is the plug-in-hybrid six-cylinder model that makes 434 hp and 516 lb-ft and has a projected EV range of 62 mph.
The 2022 Range Rover is available to order now and is expected to arrive in the spring of 2022. The plug-in hybrid model should arrive in the summer. Prices for the Range Rover start at $105,350 for the SE, $153,350 for the Autobiography, and $159,550 for the First Edition. The SV is expected to be the most expensive of the four when it arrives.
