Recently, overseas media exposed a set of test spy photos of the new Land Rover Range Rover. Although it is covered with the shell of the current Range Rover, some clues can still be seen. It is reported that the new generation of Land Rover Range Rover will be based on a new aluminum-intensive architecture (aluminum-intensive architecture). The fifth-generation Land Rover Range Rover is expected to be launched in 2020 at the earliest, and it will launch an impact on ultra-luxury mid-to-large SUVs such as Bentley Bentayga.
Although it is camouflaged with the current Range Rover shell, it can still be seen that the suspension and exhaust of the new car have been adjusted to a certain extent. Additionally, there is a cutout in the rear bumper, perhaps to accommodate models with a longer wheelbase. In addition, according to foreign media predictions, the length, width and height of the new generation of Land Rover Range Rover are 4999/1983/1920 mm, and the wheelbase is 2922 mm.
The new car will be built on the latest aluminum-intensive architecture, and in preparation for the new model, its Solihull (Solihull) factory has undergone major modifications to adapt to the advanced technology adopted by future Land Rovers. To make room, the Discovery range has been moved to a new factory in Nitra, Slovakia. The Solihull plant will also produce a new generation of Range Rover Sport and pure electric Land Rover models.
In terms of power, it has been reported that Jaguar Land Rover and BMW have reached an agreement to further cooperate in the field of internal combustion engines. In addition, the Ford Bridgend plant of the 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine used by the current Land Rover will be closed next year. We can speculate that the next-generation Range Rover will be equipped with BMW’s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, and its six-cylinder diesel engine may also come from BMW. In addition, the pure electric version of the new generation of Land Rover Range Rover may be released as a single model. It is expected that the favorite will be launched in 2022. Before that, we will also welcome the plug-in hybrid version of the new Range Rover.
