In 2024, Land Rover will release an all-electric Range Rover according to the company’s announcement. The news was accompanied by the unveiling of the 2022 Range Rover, which is a redesigned fifth generation of its premium SUV. The new architecture for future models will be based on a new flexible structure, which has an electrical architecture to allow for over-the-air software upgrades.
Land Rover prepares an all-electric Range Rover for 2024
This upcoming electric car from Land Rover has not been revealed in great detail. In 2022, the new Range Rover will be available in a mild hybrid version and a plug-in hybrid model.
The 2023 extended-range plug-in hybrid will have an inline six-cylinder engine with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. It has a 105 kW electric motor and a 31.8 kWh lithium-ion battery with a 31.8 kWh usable capacity. This combination will offer up to 62 miles of EV range and have 434 horsepower.
The 2022 Range Rover will be offered in a number of variants, including standard and long-wheelbase body types, six- and eight-cylinder powertrains, and seating choices. The Range Rover P400 SE mild hybrid has a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine that generates 395 horsepower and 406 pound-ft of torque, with a starting price of $104,000 without taxes.
The 2022 Range Rover line concludes with the P530 First Edition, a long-wheelbase body model with a 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 that generates 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque and starts at $163,500 without taxes. Other technical highlights in the 2022 Range Rover include a new electrical vehicle architecture, referred to as internally EVA 2.0, that will enable the firm to communicate wirelessly with more than 70 electronic modules.
This implies that Land Rover should be able to add new apps and make improvements to existing features on the car’s infotainment system using a software update. That’s a crucial feature for any carmaker hoping to keep up with today’s technology-driven world.
The 2022 Range Rover will have Amazon Alexa as the built-in voice assistant that may give news updates, access the driver’s calendar, handle vehicle functions, etc. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are expected to be available in the vehicle too.
