Big tech updates to the cabin.
This gallery of spy photos gives us a first look inside the cabin next-gen Land Rover Range Rover. Although the interior is only partially visible, the photos reveal major technology upgrades for the iconic luxury SUV.
It is evident that the interior of this Range Rover Range Rover is still not complete. It is possible to still see the large digital cluster of instruments. It seems like the steering wheel combines buttons and physical switches with capacitive sensors.
The center console houses a shift-by–wife gearshift with a placeholder surround. A few dials can also be seen, but they don’t have a clear function.
The center stack houses an angled infotainment screen. Although it doesn’t look as large as the new screens from the huge Mercedes MBUX Hyperscreen, it is large enough for drivers to read.
This Range Rover’s exterior looks very similar to the spy photos. Although the overall design doesn’t change much, there are some tweaks such as narrower headlights or a larger grille. It’s easy to understand why a Range Rover vehicle would not want to make major changes to its iconic design.
Next-gen Range Rover will switch to Land Rover’s Modular Longitudinal Architecture, which uses a greater amount of aluminum to decrease weight. It is now capable of supporting electrified powertrains more effectively than ever before. The new model will also switch to a BMW-sourced, 4.4-liter twin turbo V8. However, there would be diesel and plugin-hybrid versions as well as fully electric models throughout the vehicle’s life.
The new Range Rover will debut in 2021. Although sales might start in certain areas before the end, wide availability is unlikely until 2022.
