ALL-NEW 2022 RANGE ROVER REVIEW L460 - STILL A LUXURY SUV KING?

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Range Rover L460 marks a significant evolution for the iconic luxury SUV, emphasizing a cleaner design and enhanced technology. The reviewer highlights the stiffer chassis, standard rear-axle steering, and optional 23-inch wheels as key improvements for driving dynamics and aesthetics. Inside, the introduction of an animal-leather-free interior with "Ultrafabrics" and "Quadratic fabrics" is praised as a progressive step towards sustainability, offering a premium feel comparable to traditional leather. The cockpit features impressive dual screens (13.7-inch infotainment and 13.1-inch digital instruments) with a responsive interface. Notable features include the optional head-up display, a panoramic roof, and the highly configurable "executive seating" in the rear, offering exceptional comfort. The split tailgate with the "tailgate event suite" remains a practical and unique selling point. Engine options include petrol, diesel, and a plug-in hybrid, with an all-electric version slated for 2024. While the reviewer appreciates the overall refinement and luxury, the voice command system and the complexity of some electronic functions are noted as areas for improvement. The SV trim, with its bespoke options, contributes to a substantial price point of around 160,000 euros.
