The ‘big daddy’ Range Rover has much to offer in terms of luxury and style. Take a closer look inside and out of what is the most luxurious and comfortable SUV Range Rover has ever built.
Certain cars only work when you see them in the sheet metal, and the Range Rover is a prime example of that.
Revealed in late October 2021 and launched in South Africa in August 2022, this latest generation of Land Rover’s luxury SUV is reliably handsome and the depths of its detailing are clear.
How stylish is it?
Upfront, the new Rangie wears a familiar light signature and begins the three sweeping lines that all Range Rover models have featured. The front overhangs are still short, while the sill line rises in height against the falling roofline. At the rear there’s a new “boat tail”-like design and the split tailgate, which we’ve come to know the brand for, has been retained.
Overall, the idea was to build an SUV that looks like it’s carved from a solid form. The finish is flush, and the lighting is designed to remain hidden until it’s illuminated. It’s based on Land Rover’s new flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture, also known as MLA-Flex.
Elsewhere, at the one extreme, the Range Rover can be voluminous, long-wheelbase transportation for up to 7 people, with the SUV’s first 7-seat option. At the other end of the scale, a Range Rover SV with the Signature Suite cabin makes for a lavish four-seater, with 90+ cm of legroom to stretch out in the rear.
Sandwiched in between are various configurations with five seats, short- and- long wheelbase options, and of course Land Rover’s 3-strong array of engines.

How luxurious is the interior of the Range Rover?
Along with astronomic power and a great deal of luxury, this SUV offers an extreme level of comfort for its passengers. Starting with the seats, top end materials have been used to provide the softest feel to the driver as well as all the passengers on board. The headrests are designed can be adjusted to contour perfectly to the passengers’ head, thus offering greater comfort.
The cabin stretches from familiar luxury features through to more ambitious materials: technical fabrics with a high percentage of recycled content, for example, and a near-aniline leather that the automaker says not only feels more like furniture hide but uses fewer dyes and other chemicals in the process.
Clients can choose from over 1.6-million potential configurations, including upwards of 13 wheel designs, bespoke paint colours, sustainable wood trim, elegant metal trimmings, ceramics, and Ultrafabric sustainable leather upholstery.
There is also wood veneer surfaces with elaborate patterns laid out poshly around the cabin, formed by hundreds of individual laser-cut pieces, all laid by hand. Opt for the four-seater Range Rover SV Signature Suite and you’ll see this wood trim from front to back, extending to the centre fridge between the two rear seats.
Furthermore, there is no doubt that the 2022 Range Rover is the epitome of leading-edge technology and is loaded with some mind-blowing tech features on board. It features the Pivi Pro infotainment system: a 13.1-inch fully touch display that is convexly curved and has a floating appearance over the dashboard. The display features an inbuilt navigation system with voice recognition. It also offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless connectivity and is paired up with an industry-leading Meridian sound system that offers an immersive surround sound experience.
Meanwhile the driver’s instrument cluster – a 13.7-inch digital display – shows the status of the vehicle and the engine as well as navigation which can all be controlled with the buttons mounted on the steering wheel.
Purists may bewail the further distancing of this fifth-generation model from the more rugged designs of the earlier iterations, which undoubtedly wore their work talents more clearly on their sleeves. Even so, given the number of people who get to take their Range Rover off-road, this move toward even greater on-road civility is something that can hardly be argued with.
What engines are on offer?
There are 3 engines to choose from.
The range starts with a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain in the P460e comprising a 3.0-litre, straight-6 turbocharged petrol engine that’s paired with a 38.2 kWh battery pack to allow for an electric driving range up to 113 km. Total outputs for this powertrain is 338 kW and 550 Nm.
A 3.0-litre turbocharged diesel burner (D350) is available in the D350, the same used in the Defender and Discovery, and it produces a useful 258 kW and 700 Nm of torque.
The engine offering is headlined by a powerful 4.4-litre V8 turbocharged petrol engine that produces either 390 kW and 750 Nm of torque in the P530 or you can opt for the range-topping P615 SV with 452 kW and 750 Nm.
