2022 range rover2/19/2023 ![]() This latest generation of the Range Rover also retains its split tailgate, which is electrically operated as standard. Packaging the battery doesn't actually impact boot space, with the standard car's 818-litre offering carried over for the PHEV. There's a superb level of legroom in the rear even in Standard Wheelbase form so rear-seat passengers won't be complaining. When it comes to space inside there's no drawback by adding a relatively big battery, made possible by the latest car's all-new MLA-Flex platform. Top-spec SV models – available in Intrepid and Serenity themes – feature every bit of kit you could imagine as standard. The reality is that many owners might just simply connect their smartphone wirelessly and opt to use either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It's snappy to respond to finger prods and the graphics are good, with Land Rover claiming 90 per cent of tasks are accessible in just two steps from the home menu. The 13.7-inch digital dash is joined by a 13.1-inch central touchscreen running the brand's Pivi Pro system. The steering is light and precise, and with active roll control, rear-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension the Range Rover PHEV serves up agility and comfort in just the right split, weighted towards the latter. On the twistier Spanish roads of our test route the car's tech combined to deliver a surprisingly rewarding driving experience for a big, luxury SUV. On the move it feels like the suspension filters out all of the nasty feedback and vibrations you don't want, so you're removed from the mechanical systems working away underneath you to just the right degree. At lower speeds the wheels still do thud slightly over grids and potholes, but it's far from intrusive. Visibility is good and it's actually easy to manoeuvre thanks to standard all-wheel steering that means this five-metre-long car has a turning circle as tight as a supermini's.ĭespite the chassis having to deal with the plug-in hybrid car's extra mass, and on 22-inch wheels, the Range Rover's ride is still supreme, offering cushioning from bumps in conjunction with surprisingly good body control. ![]() Throttle pick-up is linear and the big SUV delivers enough acceleration in EV mode to mix it with city traffic, where the car feels big but more socially acceptable thanks to its powertrain. Land Rover's engineers have turned up the ICE component's potency for the latter, with a total system output of 503bhp and 700Nm of torque. Both use the same 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six petrol engine, with the former offering a total of 434bhp and 620Nm of torque. It comes in two flavours, P440e and P510e, the numerical figure denoting the total combined power output of its petrol-electric set-up. ![]() Land Rover will go the whole hog next year and unveil a fully electric Range Rover, beating the likes of Bentley to market with a luxury EV, but for many this might not quite cover all of the bases a car as competent as the new Range Rover needs to, so as a transition technology before the brand turns fully EV the Range Rover plug-in hybrid will spearhead the assault for now. Ultimately, a car like this is meant to deliver unrivalled luxury, and this plug-in version climbs to higher heights than any model so far. The ride is (mostly) great and it handles surprisingly well for such a big machine. Adding a significant dollop of electric torque to boost refinement further still, making the P510e serene on the move. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.This plug-in hybrid model is the most relaxing Range Rover yet. N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year. ![]() Based on this data and further analysis, we predict reliability for the latest year. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. The results are presented relative to the average model that year. ![]() Consumer Reports subscribers reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles during the past 12 months that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime, in any of the trouble spots included in the table below. The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey. ![]()
