Land Rover announces the world premiere of its largest and most luxurious model, the 2022 Range Rover. The premiere of the fifth generation has been announced for October 26 this year.

From what can be seen in the photos, Land Rover engineers have followed an evolutionary approach when designing the bodywork, which will again be offered in a standard and extended edition. Among the details that emphasize the Land Rover tradition are without a doubt the characteristic horizontally divisible fifth doors.

The new generation of Land Rover SUV models will be built on the Jaguar Land Rover MLA platform and will be powered by petrol and diesel engines, and will also have a plug-in hybrid version. There’s primarily BMW’s 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 engine with 523 hp (385 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The same engine is used by the BMW X5 and X7 models. It reaches 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. The engine is paired with an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission that transmits power to all wheels.

The 2022 Range Rover will enter the battle for buyers looking for their luxury SUVs among models such as the BMW X7, Mercedes / Maybach GLS, Bentley Bentayga, Lexus LX, etc. The first units should appear in showrooms early next year.
