The new-generation Range Rover has been spied numerous times in 2020 and 2021, showing its different variants including the long-wheelbase and the plug-in hybrid version. The luxury SUV is gradually shedding its camouflage revealing more of its evolutionary design. This is the case with the latest spy shots, which are the most revealing yet. It makes sense since the official reveal could take place before the end of the year.
All the fake body extensions below the camouflage wrap are now gone, allowing us to see more details on the SUV’s bodywork. The single intake on the front bumper covering most of its width is clearly visible, as Land Rover’s technicians didn’t bother to cover it. Thus, the design of the front end seems to be a lot less cluttered compared to the outgoing model, in combination with the slimmer LED headlights and grille.
The new Range Rover retains the imposing dimensions and the proportions of the current generation which was first unveiled back in 2012. The model is instantly recognizable especially from the profile thanks to the large greenhouse and the flat waistline, a characteristic of all Range Rover generations. The rear end will change more dramatically, as implied by the turn signals located below the rear windscreen, although retaining the long rear overhang and the large tailgate.
Despite the visual similarities, the new Range Rover will ride on the brand new MLA platform and offer more electrified options, available in mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery-electric variants. Like its slightly smaller sibling – the Range Rover Sport – it will be available in the performance-oriented SVR variant which is rumored to get a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 sourced from BMW. We expect to learn more about the Range Rover in the official debut that’s rumored to take place towards the end of 2021.
