Range Rover First Edition D350 – $298,800 Range Rover Autobiography P530 LWB (seven-seat) – $304,700 Range Rover Autobiography D350 LWB (seven-seat) – $286,600 Range Rover Autobiography P530 LWB – $303,100 Range Rover Autobiography D350 LWB – $285,100 Range Rover Autobiography P530 – $297,600 Range Rover Autobiography D350 – $279,600 The 2022 Range Rover line-up is comprehensive at launch and will rapidly become more so, with a range of different drivetrains and an eight-speed ZF torque-converter automatic transmission is mated to them all, with a low-range transfer box to aid the off-road capability I will come back to. The Range Rover is immediately available as an SV variant from Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO division with these kinds of interior features, so you really can spend as much as you like. Most Range Rovers will be five-seaters, but the LWB can be had with an additional row of seats to make seven, or fancy versions can have just four – perhaps with a motorised fold-out table if in LWB form. The Range Rover is also wide, at 2209mm across the body – seemingly the same width as across its door mirrors. The Bentley Bentayga is 5141mm long, the BMW X7 5151mm. The standard-wheelbase version is 5052mm long, up 75mm on the last one, with a 2997mm wheelbase, while the long-wheelbase variant adds another 200mm to those totals. The Range Rover was a big car before and remains one now. Static torsional rigidity is said to be 33kN per degree – up to 50 per cent better than previoulsy. There are rings of strengthening steel, too, around the lower body at the A-pillar section, and the whole body at the C-pillars and D-pillars, plus around the edges of the front-door apertures. It rides on a new platform called MLA Flex, 80 per cent aluminium but with a steel bulkhead at the front. The new Range Rover can be had in short or long-wheelbase forms, and both are larger than the versions they replace. More technology? More price? Put it this way: “Alexa, how much is this new Range Rover I’m sitting in?” While the new Land Rover Defender was a product transformed and the latest Land Rover Discovery went a bit on-piste compared with its predecessor, what we have here is the same luxury-car-meets-SUV – the sort of model the Range Rover helped to define – only more so. This is the sixth-generation Range Rover, and, well, it doesn’t feel like it needs a reinvention, does it? 2022 Range Rover reviewed in our international first drive ahead of its Australian arrival this year. ![]()
