The fourth generation Range Rover will probably see a Malaysian launch soon, since a unit has popped up at JPJ Putrajaya, presumably to undergo testing for type approval. A tip of the hat to regular contributor Akmal, who has sent in a few pix from JPJ Putrajaya before this.
The new L405 Rangie was first unveiled in September 2012 with three engine models – a 510 PS supercharged V8, a 258 PS turbodiesel V6 and a 339 PS turbodiesel V8. A diesel-hybrid version is supposed to be announced this year. The model sighted at JPJ Putrajaya is the supercharged V8 model.
The current third generation model on sale in Malaysia is available either with a 5.0 litre supercharged V8 as well as a turbodiesel V8. Read more about the fourth gen model here.
