TheLand Rover Range Rover (L460), generally shortened toRange Rover, is the fifth generation of theRange Rover, a range of mid- and full-size luxury crossovers produced byLand Rover. It was revealed in London on 26 October 2021. The car is available in two different wheelbases, and the vehicle is available in guises consisting of petrol, petrolmild hybrid, petrolplug-in hybrid, and diesel mild hybrid. A seven-seater option was available slightly after launch.
The fifth generation Range Rover was revealed on 26 October 2021 by theJaguar Land Rover Chief Creative Officer and the car's designer,Gerry McGovern, at theRoyal Opera House in London.[2][3][4] It is built upon Jaguar Land Rover's newMLA-Flexplatform, which underpins large vehicles that either usestraight-six orV8 engines.[5] Eight PHEV models were available from launch, however As of 2023[update], the L460 launch consists of 12 models. The car will be the first from JLR to use an engine developed under the combustion and electrified powertrain partnership agreed between JLR andBMW in 2019, the 4.4LBMW N63.[6][5]
At launch, models consisted of the P440e, P510e, P360, P400, P530, D250, D300, and the D350. As of 2023[update] (late), models consist of the P400, P460e, P510e, P550e, P530, P615, D250, D300, and the D350. Produced since mid-2022, the L460 is built at theSolihull plant inSolihull, United Kingdom.
Internally designatedL460, the vehicle is based on the MLA platform, which it shares with the smaller third generationRange Rover Sport. The vehicle is 53 mm (2.1 in) longer, 63 mm (2.5 in) wider, and 35 mm (1.4 in) higher, while its wheelbase has grown by 22 mm (0.87 in). For the long-wheelbase model, as the SWB model, its length has also grown by 53 mm (2.1 in), while its wheelbase as grown by 75 mm (3.0 in).[7] Because of the fact the vehicle is built upon the MLA-Flex platform, the L460 has 50 per cent greater torsional rigidity compared to the outgoing model, with a static rigidity of 50,000 Nm per degree. The new chassis also features a steel front bulkhead with a closed-section arrangement. This helps reducenoise, vibration, and harshness from the road coming into the cabin by about 24 per cent.[7][8]
For the first time on aLand Rover, the L460 is the first vehicle to offerfour-wheel steering.[8] With a turning circle of 10.95 m, or 11.54 m for the long-wheelbase model, the L460 features adouble wishbone suspension at the front, while it features amulti-link suspension at the rear.[9][10]Rear-wheel steering is also available with a turning circle of up to 7.3 degrees.[9] Independentair suspension combines air spring volumes with twin-valve monotube dampers, which are managed by the "Adaptive Dynamics" system. The air suspension also adds variable ride height.[9] The Range Rover also features Range Rover's "iAWD" (Intelligent All-Wheel Drive) system, which is controlled by Land Rover's Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) system. The system enhances efficiency by disconnecting drive at the front axle at speeds between 35 and 160 km/h (22 and 99 mph), which reduces drag losses by 30 per cent and decrease its CO2 emissions by 4g/km.[9]
All models features a 13.1-inch touchscreen, which runs Land Rover's "Pivi Pro" interface.WirelessApple CarPlay andAndroid Auto are both available, as well as theAmazon Alexa integration. Additional standard features include navigation, wireless smartphone charging,SiriusXM satellite radio, and a 13.7-inch digital gauge display. Optionally, rear seat entertainment systems with twin 11.4-inch displays are available as well as aMeridian Audio system with 35 speakers and noise cancelling technology are available. Different leather choices are available for interior, however a leather-free option, which adds wool or other vegan materials are available. Available seating configurations, including four, five, or seven are available, possibly depending on configuration and wheelbase. The four-seater arrangement includes a centre console dividing the two rear seats along with an electrically operated tray table and a mini-fridge.[11][4] The L460 also features 23-inch wheels, upgrading from the 22-inch of the previous iteration.
In 2023, for the 2024 model year, Land Rover has replaced the P440e with the more powerful P550e. The P615 is added, and the SV Bespoke program is available on the Range Rover which provides buyers with a seven-step process through colours, interiors, materials themes and more. To help promote the SV Bespoke program, Land Rover revealed the limited Carmel Edition at the 2023Monterey Car Week. Priced at 371,345 USD, only seven models of the Carmel Edition will be built. The Carmel Edition features 23-inch wheels, two-tone upholstery, embroidered pillows, and pearl oyster accents.[12][13]
The car is available with either the standard wheelbase of 2,997 mm (117.99 in) with a length of 5,052 mm (198.90 in), or the long wheelbase of 3,197 mm (125.87 in) with a length of 5,252 mm (206.77 in).[14] Both variants have a height of 1,870 mm (73.62 in), and width of 2,047 mm (80.59 in).[14]

All engines are coupled with an eight-speed automatic gearbox with a low-range capability, and supply power to the wheels through an all-wheel-drive system which can decouple the front axle to improve efficiency under certain driving conditions.[5] The plug-in hybrid variants use a 38.2-kilowatt-hourlithium-ion battery (with 31.8 kWh usable).[15]
