With prices starting from £94,400 the all-new Range Rover is about to break cover with long-range plug-in powertrains at launch and fully electrified models to follow later on.

But fans of the traditional internal combustion engine will be delighted to learn that conventional petrol and diesel engines remain part of the Range Rover line up.

The new model sees an increase of £10k in the price-tag over the outgoing vehicle but Land Rover has certainly brought its flagship model bang up to date with the Solihull factory building the car in short or long-wheel base guise.

That means it will accommodate four, five or seven occupants making it a very versatile choice. And there is more good news with talk of a high performance SV variant coming soon too.

The design is bold and elegant with LED headlights that can illuminate the road 500 metres ahead. There is all wheel steering for added agility giving the car a turning circle below 11 metres and the Range Rover will deliver all its off road prowess along the way via the company’s Terrain Response system.

There are flush external door handles, a new-look back end with slimmer lights flanking the split tailgate and alloys that are 23-inches in size which is the largest on any Land Rover.

Moving inside it’s all very modern and high-tech with a 13.1-inch driver’s instrument panel along with a 13.7-inch interactive display screen in the centre of the dashboard with haptic feedback.

In the rear, 11.4-inch display screens are positioned on the back of the front seats to offer all the entertainment you could wish for on the move.

Powering this giant of a car are two plug-in hybrid powertrains delivering 440ps or 510ps with an EV-only range of up to 62 miles and emissions of less than 30g/km. In addition, mild hybrid systems are fitted to the petrol and diesel cars.

There is a new V8 twin turbo engine developing a whopping 530ps which results in a 0-60mph sprint time of just 4.4 seconds and maximum speed of 155mph.

Land Rover has also indicated that the PHEV models will be able to reach 87mph in electric-only mode and will have a driving range of approximately 400 miles.

Mild hybrid petrol models can achieve 29.7mpg with carbon emissions of 215g/km while diesel versions return 37.2 miles to the gallon with CO2 emissions of 198g/km. The purely electric car should be available from 2024.

Further details will be available nearer the car’s launch next Spring.
