2022 Land Rover Range Rover

Confusingly, Land Rover is producing both a brand-new Range Rover and the outgoing model for the 2022 model year. We will cover the new Range Rover's trim levels and features first, followed by the older model.

The new 2022 Land Rover Range Rover (fifth generation) is available in two body style configurations: short wheelbase (SWB) and long wheelbase (LWB). Both have seating for five as standard, but you can also get the LWB with a third-row seat to boost maximum capacity to seven passengers.

Three trim levels are available: SE, Autobiography and First Edition. The SE is not available in the LWB five-seat configuration. Otherwise, all trims are available in all body styles.

Two powertrains are available:

• P400: turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder (395 horsepower, 406 lb-ft of torque)
• P530: turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft)

Both come paired to eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The P400 powertrain can only be ordered on the SE. The P530 engine is optional for the SE and standard on the Autobiography and First Edition.

The entry-level SE model includes:

• 21-inch alloy wheels

Every model in the redesigned Range Rover lineup also has these advanced safety features:

PREVIOUS (FOURTH-GENERATION) RANGE ROVER
The outgoing Range Rover was available in a head-spinning number of configurations. The six main trim levels are Base, Westminster, Autobiography, SVAutobiography Dynamic, SVAutobiography Dynamic Black Edition and SVAutobiography. The Base and SVAutobiography Dynamic and SV Autobiography Dynamic Black Edition trims come with the standard wheelbase, but the Westminster and Autobiography are also available in a long-wheelbase configuration. The SVAutobiography comes only in a long wheelbase. Every Range Rover comes equipped with all-wheel drive.

Four powertrains are available, all of them mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission:

• P360: turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder (355 horsepower, 365 lb-ft)
• P400: turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder (395 hp, 406 lb-ft)

• SVO: supercharged 5.0-liter V8 (557 hp, 516 lb-ft)

All Range Rovers come extremely well equipped and offer a near endless array of customization options. Note that the ongoing microchip shortage caused Land Rover to discontinue certain features for the outgoing Range Rover, depending on when the vehicle was built.
