What Do You Want To Know About The New Range Rover?
What Do You Want To Know About The New Range Rover?-November 2024

Image for article titled What Do You Want To Know About The New Range Rover?

The Land Rover Range Rover has been a staple of one-percenter off-road luxury since pretty much the dawn of time. Over the years, it’s gone through four generations and has pretty much become its own sub brand. You don’t say you have a Land Rover. You have a Range Rover, and people know the rest.

Well, now it’s time to check out the Range Rover’s fifth generation. It’s already debuted over in Europe, but this being America, we’re always a little behind. Anyway, I want to know what you want to know about it. I’m covering hundreds of miles over two days in this behemoth, and I wanna know what you’re curious about.

The all-new Range Rover may look similar to the outgoing fourth gen, but underneath it’s all new. That includes the powertrains. Gone are the supercharged V6 and V8. In their places are a three-liter I6 mild hybrid and a 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 borrowed from BMW. The V8 puts out about 520 horsepower, and the I6 makes 395 horsepower.

The inside of the new Range Rover is also a big departure from the old one. The dual screen setup has been replaced by a single, larger, screen. Buttons also seem to have been moved out of the physical realm and into the digital. I’ll be interested to see how that impacts functionality. It is a Range Rover, after all. There are just fewer knobs, buttons and switches than there were before. It looks very pretty in photos, but we’ll see how good it really is in practice.

This is also the first time a proper Range Rover has been available with a third row of seats – enough room for seven passengers. Before that was reserved for “lesser” cars like the Range Rover Sport and Discovery.

So, that’s all I know right now. Drop me a line in the comments with what you’d like to know more about!

At $19,500, Would You Let This 2003 Mercury Marauder Steal Your Heart?
Today’s Mercury is a one-owner car that, according to the ad, has been pampered all its life. Let’s see if it’s priced to ensure a second owner will take over the car’s coddling. The eighth track on Cheap Trick’s 1979 album, Dream Police takes its title from a repeated...

The 2022 Lynk & Co 01 Is a Car for People Who Don't Care About Cars
The 2022 Lynk & Co 01 Is a Car for People Who Don't Care About Cars
The is difficult to describe. Not because it’s uncategorizable. It’s a compact crossover, and if you close your eyes and sketch a contemporary crossover, you’ll end up with : a slightly bulbous body, four doors, a hatch, black plastic wheel arches over 20-inch wheels that somehow look undersized. A...

BMW and Bosch Are Getting Deeper Into Hydrogen Fuel Cells
BMW and Bosch Are Getting Deeper Into Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Hydrogen power is kind of unique in the world of alternative energy because it’s already reasonably mature. Fuel cells have been around for decades now, so it’s the infrastructure that’s keeping things from taking off rather than the technology. BMW doesn’t seem to care about that because, according to...

Mitsubishi's Ralliart Performance Brand Is Coming Back To The US
Mitsubishis current lineup is… shall we say spartan. It’s hard to see the brand’s performance history in what they sell now; in fact, you’d never know that just seven years ago, the brand was still selling one of the most capable sport compacts of all time, the . Since...

Nissan Rogue Will Cost a Little More for 2023 But Also Gain a Midnight Edition
A is a car that even Rogue owners do not spend a lot of time thinking about. A guy I know owns a new-ish Nissan Rogue for the sole reason that his car buying strategy — pre-pandemic, at least — was to show up to car dealerships and ask...

At $7,000, Is This 1986 Buick Century Gran Sport a Grand Bargain?
At $7,000, Is This 1986 Buick Century Gran Sport a Grand Bargain?
The naturally-aspirated 3.8 in today’s Buick GS is 90 horsepower shy of the turbocharged edition in the contemporary Grand National. Let’s see if the price is also commensurately lower, or if it’s a Grand National disaster. Asking under five grand for a clean-running car in today’s market is laudable....
