Land Rover has introduced the redesigned 2022 Range Rover. When it arrives, the new Range Rover will once again rival the fifth-generation Cadillac Escalade.
Outside, the 2022 Range Rover features a new exterior design with simple, smoothed-out lines and features. Wheel sizing is up to 23 inches in diameter. Both standard and long-wheelbase configurations are offered, as is a new three-row setup for the cabin space, with available seating configurations accommodating four, five, and seven passengers.
The infotainment spec features 13.1-inch central touchscreen, as well as 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster and configurable display. Customers can also get a 1,600-watt Meridian sound system with active noise cancellation and 35 speakers. Haptic feedback, Amazon Alexa integration, and wireless Apple CarPlay / Amazon Alexa support are all included.
As for the cabin materials, the 2022 Range Rover offers a few alternatives to traditional leather offered, such as a combination of Ultrafabrics and Kvadrat wool-blend.
Under the skin, the 2022 Range Rover rides on the aluminum-rich Land Rover’s Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA). The powertrain spec includes a mild-hybrid turbocharged 3.0L I6 producing 395 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque as standard, while a twin-turbo 4.4L V8 producing 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque is offered higher in the line. A plug-in hybrid powertrain is expected for the 2023 model year, while an all-electric variant will be offered in 2024.
Four-wheel steering is standard across the model lineup. All-wheel drive is also standard, with the option to disconnect the front axle for greater efficiency. Multiple driving modes are onboard, including those specific for off-roading adventures.
Pricing starts at $104,000 for the base 2022 Range Rover P400 SE, ranging up to $163,500 for the 2022 Range Rover P530 First Edition LWB. Orders for the 2022 Range Rover SE, Autobiography, and First Edition models are open now, with deliveries expected by the spring of 2022.

Not nothing to worry about but man the E needs an supercharged option.
Of course there is nothing to worry about Cadillac never has competed with Land Rover and never will.
Tell us another one of your mom jokes.
Looks ugly!
They are completely unreliable and expensive to fix. The UFC used to give them to their champions as a prize, until a number of them broke down within the first year of ownership. No thanks, I’ll stick with GM.
Welcome to the 1990s, when Range Rover had Lucas electrics. I’ve owned a 2006, a 2010, a 2014 and a 2018. All were as reliable as anything I own. Stop living in the past. GM built crap in the 80s too.
@ Gene
I am glad that you had solid reliability with your RR’s, but the numbers don’t lie. RR’s have been known for their poor reliability and their large expense to fix, if out of warranty. A quick Google search will prove this.
P.S. The UFC was not around in the 80’s, so your claim just doesn’t hold water. Are they luxurious vehicles? Sure. Are they built to last? The overwhelming majority of owners and car review outlets, say no.
The ufc stopped giving RR away to the champions because Dana is cheap so please don’t spread misinformation there is enough of that on the news thanks for your corporation.
Misinformation? Oy vey…
I am not a fan of Dana whatsoever, but I’m going to gracefully bow out, Josh. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Nobody cares if you are a fan of Dana or not that has absolutely nothing to do with it. Dana doesn’t give RR or any vehicles away anymore because it cost to much money, that’s why he does fight bonuses now instead of cars. Your personal feelings of Dana are irrelevant. The ufc is a household name now why give away expensive vehicles when he can give you a $50k bonus that will be taxed?
My statement of “not liking Dana” was relevant because I was simply showing that I’m not a Dana White nut swinger. I was commenting, based on articles that have been written over the past 15+ years on this very topic.
I’m not going to engage in an “internet tough guy” battle. It is beyond bush-league.
We have differing opinions and I certainly respect your point of view. Peace.
The only time to own a Range Rover is when it’s under warranty. After that, they’re a maintenance nightmare. Also, Range Rover’s don’t hold their value. They depreciate quicker than any brand, save for Audi. Nothing but overpriced status symbols. I’m sticking with GM. They’re better looking, hold up better and hold their value better.
Even though this is a complete redesign, it comes across as a major refresh. The interior has a minimalistic view about it.
The rear of this looks like that JLR was envious of the rear of the Escalade and try to copy which comes across as Cadillac but try not to make it obvious. Overall, the technology and features are necessary to stand out to compete but I’m not overall impress.
“As for the cabin materials, the 2022 Range Rover offers a few alternatives to traditional leather offered, such as a combination of Ultrafabrics and Kvadrat wool-blend.’
I would like to see Cadillac also offer these as options. They have shown this in their recent show cars. Luxury is about options.
I’m not sure about the exterior, but the interior looks really high end. A 4.0 liter v8 with 523hp is a killer option as well as the SV configuration. The interior really looks great!
*4.4 liter not 4.0 liter.
Don’t waste your time with that guy Mohammad he is clueless about cars. People have to correct him daily on here.
You shut up clueless Andy. Go Express your depression elsewhere and make a fool out of yourself. Hope you feel better after insulting people.
So you insult someone then tell them to go somewhere else because they insult people lmao. I hope you feel better after that put down.
I told him to $hut up because he’s does this all the time to Mohammad.
You have no clue what you are talking about I told Mohammad to not worry about James because James has no idea what he is talking about. Now sit there and be quiet.
Oh, misunderstanding. My apologies.
Tom, think before you talk.
Whoa tom you are out of control. This is the second personal attack I have seen you make towards Andy in a matter of hours. You need to get yourself under control. If you can’t help yourself and feel the need to continue with the personal attacks then this community is not a good fit for you. This is a community of car enthusiasts and if you have nothing to contribute but personal attacks/insults then I’m asking you to leave and go somewhere else. That kind of childish behavior is not tolerated here so either get with the program or beat it.
Some customers probably compare them, but the Escalade and the Range Rover aren’t competing directly, the new 7-seat Range Rover will win back some customers lost to BMW and Mercedes Benz large 3-rows.
I own a current Escalade and a 2020 Range Rover they are both fantastic vehicles the new rover is clean and beautiful as in the past
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. To each their own. Whatever makes you happy.
Except gm vehicles are nobody’s treasure except poor people. So you really can’t use that saying here sorry.
Full sized GM SUVs are big, but they do not look bulky. They look lean, and we should give the designers credit for having this objective.
This new Land Rover does not look lean. Looks bloated.
They will now get the front parking spot at a posh resort’s valet parking. do like the interior. front end is to bland looks like the Range Rover sport, need’s more wow as it is Range Rover’s flag ship car. can’t wait to see one in person
It’s barely different than the last one? But still miles better than that ugly Bentley suv!
I have owned many Land Rover/range rovers and currently own a 2022 Land Rover defender trophy edition, people who claim land rovers are unreliable have never owned one themselves they just repeat what they have seen online. Land Rover is no longer the company of the 80s and these vehicles are top notch.
I am a fan of the Range Rover styling in general. However this looks too vanilla for me. A vehicle that costs this much, should have enough styling to identify what your driving. I don’t see that in this. It looks to me like a bar of soap that has been massaged with a belt sander.
I could afford one but it is beyond me why anyone pays the money Range Rovers cost. They are consistently rated poor in quality by J D Power and other rating services. They’d depreciate fast, and are odd looking to me. Seems they survive on being a status symbol….good for them. I never bought a vehicle to enhance my status.
Between this and Escalade I will take the Cadillac please!
My assessment of the Range Rover is not based on personal ownership but on my mechanic’s personal experience with them. He is a highly regarded import and domestic auto mechanic. He said the two worst and most expensive cars to work on is Range Rover and Audi. He says that beauty is only skin deep. The one major drawback is Range Rover’s re-sale value. But one person’s trash can be another person’s treasure. It all makes for good debate.
Ahh of course that settles it then the trust ole mechanic said it so that’s what it is.
Well, he is a venerable foreign car tech and works on all brands of foreign cars, so I have to believe the guy who actually takes these cars apart and puts them back together. Like I said; one person’s junk is another person’s treasure. I have two friends who have owned them, and they would never do so again.It’s actually refreshing to hear positive feedback on Range Rover for once. If they start getting better reviews by JD Power and their re-sale values start to improve, I may consider one. One thing is for sure, they do make good looking vehicles.They are pretty.
I enjoy this forum because I can get what I ascertain to be constructive back & forth opinions. I appreciate knowledgeable feedback with regards to GM vehicles, which I’m a fan of. Unfortunately some people feel the need to take it in a different direction. It’s only one’s opinion vs. another. No harm, no fowl.
Better looking than the Lexus, which is really what the Range Rover will be competing against. The desirability of the Escalade is unmatched – head and shoulders beyond either one of them.
