Pics of the new Range Rover have been released and are circulating online. This fourth-gen car (current one has been around since 2002) will make its world debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show and will go on sale next year.
The Range Rover’s classic shape is maintained, but Evoque influences are evident at both ends. The big news for this new Rangie is a new all-aluminium monocoque body and chassis that makes it 420 kg lighter than the current car. This is a world’s first for the SUV segment, but Jaguar-Land Rover is an expert in this, having done the same for the Jaguar XK and XJ limo.
Autocar UK quotes global brand director John Edwards as saying that the new bodyshell is not only 39% lighter than the old steel structure, but also stiffer in both torsion and bending. The new front and rear subframes are also crafted from aluminium. The same report mentions a longer wheelbase (by about 100 mm) and front/rear tracks. All of the above should make the Range Rover more agile than ever.
Three engines will be offered, a 3.0 V6 diesel, an updated 4.4 V8 diesel and a 5.0 supercharged petrol V8. All three will be paired to an eight-speed automatic gearbox by ZF. Terrain Response 2 is new and improved. Full details when the car is officially unveiled.

Rich feeling always
gorgeous looking SUV.
perhaps RM600k and above when it reach PJ.
why the exterior looks ugly? previous version is better…
I prefer the old…the bling factor of the exterior is too much
RR + Evoque. Cantiq, elegant.
Rolls Royce, I meant.
Great looking……..but if land rover could just change the bumper…….than it’ll be perfect
A pale comparison to the Evoque. Even the new Defender looks more exciting than this. The designers are too conservative on the Range Rover.
Looks like a combination of the Ford Flex and Ford Explorer?
Elegant, much better than the old shape, those fools above commenting don’t know what a Range Rover is supposed to be. It is not meant to be like the Evoque. The Range Rover is the Bentley of SUVs.
lame, I prefers BMW X5
this is gentlemen’s car, X5 is hipster car or MLM dudes’ car.
Solid Range Rover design.
At my country, this type of car is used by soccer mom, in your country it becomes luxury item because of the super high tax imposed on it…pity Malaysian people
Top gear uk crew uses and loves range rover, hip hop artist like mario and jay-z has one, its the best off road and road suv in the world, and u are suggesting this magnificent car is only for soccer mums? Wherever ur from, u all must be driving space ships and eat gold to have such high standards.
shedding 420 kg shall do wonders to its performance.
the styling is a tad conservative. but i’m sure they know what their customers want. also, the rr buyers are quite blase about v beckham i suppose, and that’s a good thing. perhaps the rr sport can show a bit youhful intentions.
but those vertical lines down the front doors….like gills of a great white!!are they functional at all? or just to break the slab-sided-ness
The proportions are alright (retains the overall traditional shape) but the details are fussy and overwrought. The contemporary Evoque styling elements/detailings are at odds with the overall traditional RR shape/identity (like putting lipstick on a pig). The interior is a success however. Nonetheless, I am sure the new RR will perform wonderfully and sell very well as it remains its own in that class, well until the rumoured BMW X7 or Bentley SUV comes into play that is.
Then we shall hope that X7 will be 2050mm in width and 1980mm in height(excluding roofrail if any) with overall length 5400mm 7 seater to exceed the Mercedes rival and Ninja King.
Looks like an luxury apartment moving on the road…em..
no longer the body on frame design… the best and only true luxury off roader is dead… guess it has to evolve to make money
it looks outdated and perhaps a little bit ugly…
if ur looking for a lux suv , this shubbe tops of your list
the front bumper ? come on..
