The V8 variant is something of a throwback in terms of legacy, if not technology like the eight-pot found in the Range Rover a couple generations ago, it's made by BMW. Base models come packing the mild-hybrid 3.0-liter inline-six that's quickly become a familiar face across the Land Rover lineup, here making 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. Under the hood lies a choice of two different gas-powered powertrains, at least to start in the United States. So, here in 2022, how does the vehicle once so memorably described on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as "a transporter of gods" hold up in the face of a changing world and fresh competition? We headed to California to find out. The era of gasoline powertrains is coming rapidly to a close in favor of electric vehicles, so the Range Rover is finding ways to go green the world's wealthy are growing wealthier, so the Range Rover can push upmarket and, perhaps most notably, the SUV has now become the de facto vehicle of choice in nations across the world, so the Range Rover now needs to offer even more all-around family-friendly capability on top of everything else it does well. But this Range Rover faces a very different future than any of its predecessors. No, a new version of the "true" Range Rover has only come around five times in human history the first debuted in 1969, the second followed a whopping 25 years later, the third arrived in 2001, the fourth in 2012.Īnd now we're here a decade after that, once again faced with an all-new Land Rover Range Rover. Of course, when I say that, I'm referring to what Land Rover snobs would probably refer to as the real Range Rover - that is, not one boasting a suffix like Sport or Evoque or Velar, but the one that can trace its lineage all the way back to the days of the Apollo missions, when it arguably pioneered the then-silly-sounding idea of a luxury sport utility vehicle. It's a rare day when a new Range Rover debuts.
