New Range Rover bookings for 5th generation luxury SUV

Tata Motors-owned Land Rover has started bookings for its fifth-generation luxury SUV, the new Range Rover, in the Indian market. It comes with a comprehensive line-up of six and eight-cylinder powertrains and comes with a starting price of Rs 2.32 crore ex-showroom. The Range Rover sits at the pinnacle of luxury SUVs in India and the new fifth generation Range Rover raises the quotient significantly higher, according to Rohit Suri, President and Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover India.

With its entry, the luxury SUV space sees a new competition. The new Range Rover will compete with cars like MaybachGLS priced at Rs 2.4 crores and Bentley Bentayga, which starts at Rs 4.10 crores. The company says it defines modern luxury by giving more refinement, customer choice and scope for personalisation than ever before.

Range Rover is the original luxury SUV and has led by example for 50 years, combining serene comfort and composure with all-conquering capability. The New Range Rover is the most desirable yet, blending breathtaking modernity and aesthetic grace with technological sophistication and seamless connectivity, it said in a statement.

The Range Rover comes with the latest mild-hybrid MHEV 3.0 litre petrol engine, which delivers power of 294 kW and torque of 550 Nm, and 3.0 litre diesel engine with power of 258 kW and 700 Nm torque. It is available in SE, HSE and Autobiography models.

The new Range Rover was worth it, according to experts. Before its global launch, the car was said to have undergone a five-year, seven-million-hour testing procedure. The New Range Rover is defined by three lines: the falling roofline, strong waistline and rising sill line.

These trademark features combine with a characteristically short front overhang and a distinctive new boat tail rear complete with a practical split tailgate to create an elegant profile that conveys Range Rover's peerless presence, the company said.

Land Rover's latest Electrical Vehicle Architecture EVA 2.0 is the enabler-in-chief and includes Software-Over-The-Air SOTA updates for more than 70 electronic modules, so the New Range Rover will constantly evolve, improve and remain up to date as it matures. It has Land Rover's award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment technology with a 33.27 cm curved, floating screen.

The New Range Rover continues to deliver a compelling combination of effortless performance and peerless refinement with a comprehensive line-up of advanced six and eight-cylinder powertrains, according to the company.
