Configuration
The appearance of a new premium car always attracts a lot of attention. The new Land Rover Range Rover 2023 with the L460 index was one such example. At first glance, there are no changes, and only an inexperienced motorist will say so. If you look closely, there are a lot of updates, and this is not even restyling.
To say that the Range Rover 2022 received a light restyling would not be true, but the new generation is just right. If externally, changes in the design of the Range Rover are not immediately noticeable, there are more of them in the cabin. Today, the new Range Rover is already officially sold in Russia and other countries, which means you can fully understand what the buyer will offer, considering the configuration and prices of the new Range Rover 2022.

The exterior of the new SUV
As already mentioned, the appearance of the new generation Range Rover 2022 remained recognizable, although an experienced motorist will immediately see the differences. Curved lines, strict details of the body and decorative elements, and new design solutions are the details that have changed the most. The front of the Range Rover 2022 SUV has new optics, although, at first glance, it’s hard to say what’s new.
Depending on the buyer’s configuration and wishes, the optics can be LED or matrix, with pronounced LED daytime running lights. Optics differs from the previous generation in more strict lines and thin black edging on the side wings. It is best seen in the running lights.
Accordingly, the changes occurred in the grille. The edging is now made from one line, not two. The lines themselves have become more rigorous, similarly to the insertion of LED running lights into the grille edging. The main grille insert has been redesigned. Instead of a curved mesh insert and chrome elements, the grille has acquired strict rectangular elements with chrome trim.
It made no fewer changes to the front bumper of the Range Rover 2021. Not to say that now it looks better, but the changes are still noticeable. The bumper has a flat rectangular insert in the center and full width, although it was an inverted U-shaped insert earlier. In the new Range Rover bumper, a grille was installed along the contour, with various gauges and sensors.
In the center, an insert was added to match the body color, with thin, horizontal LED foglights. The inscription of the model at the end of the hood remained unchanged, but the hood itself changed its design a bit. He lost two curved notches on the sides, replacing them with simple lines. The central part of the hood also became flatter, not swollen. In addition to all this, the edge of the hood in the new SUV has become soft. A generation earlier, it was strict and rough.
From the side, the new 2022 Range Rover SUV has received fewer changes and practically looks like the previous model. The most noticeable improvements can be considered door handles and side mirror housings. The handles were made touch-sensitive and hidden along with the body part. It looks, maybe modern, but not quite practical.
As for the side’s body, rear-view mirrors have become smaller and are painted in high-gloss black as standard. According to the standard, side mirrors include an electric adjustment drive, memory for several modes, heating, and automatic folding. It is not immediately possible to notice a change in the side insert on the front doors. Previously, it was L-shaped and tightened along the bottom of the doors. The insert is made in a U-shape and is located only on the front doors.
The insert color is standard, silver, and without any options. As for the body colors of the Range Rover 2022, there is plenty to choose from. So the choice of the buyer is offered:
- Snow white
- Black
- Grey
- Navy blue
- Bronze
- Silver
- Dark green
- Pearl white
- Golden
- Brown gray
- White-silver
- Bright blue
- Aquamarine
- Green-blue
- Brown
- Bright red
- Orange.
The 2022 Range Rover body-color list is not exhaustive as it will change depending on trim level and delivery time. Also, the buyer is offered to choose his shade or combination for a separate surcharge. As a rule, it will be possible to paint the roof in a different color in the later version. The basis for the SUV, according to the standard, was 22″ rims. Full versions or as an option offer 23″ wheels.
The innovations don’t end there. The new Range Rover 2022 received electric drive of all doors, which means they will close softly and smoothly. The doors can be closed on the driver’s side by depressing the brake pedal. All doors are equipped with ultrasonic sensors and protection systems, which allows you to calculate the optimal opening angle of the doors, thereby not damaging them or avoiding things being pinched by the doors during boarding or disembarking from the Range Rover 2022. Otherwise, the changes in the side part are points. In particular, this is a sloping roof at the rear, a new design of the rear fenders, and fine decor details.
Now let’s look at the rear of the new Range Rover 2022. The first thing that catches your eye is the new rear feet, made in two vertical lines. Many have already noted that the hind feet of the predecessor looked better and stricter than in the new product. At first glance, it seems that this is an edging since the continuation in the form of a black glossy line is stretched across the entire width of the rear tailgate. On the same line, according to the standard, they placed the inscription of the model, and in the lower right corner, the nameplate of the brand.
The tailgate into two sections remained classic and unchanged. This style has been followed in this model since the 1970s. There are no memorable lines or design points on the trunk lid. The upper part is adorned as standard with a two-tone spoiler with an LED stop repeater. The lower part is a small horizontal line for contrast.
This entire 2022 Range Rover set highlights a small rear bumper. It was made of black glossy plastic. It’s, of course, a minus, as it will quickly become covered with dust and micro-scratches. On the sides of the bumper, there are two horizontal foglights and rear parking sensors. The bumper is emphasized by a chrome trim, which is essentially a diffuser. A little lower, you can see two twin tips of the exhaust system.
The roof is the last thing left to consider in the new Range Rover 2022. At first glance, there is nothing particularly new, but you realize that there are two antennas in the form of a shark fin on the back. It is to improve the signal, and this particular model may set the fashion for other premium cars.
Otherwise, a minimum of bends, a panoramic roof with a sliding front, and a place for attaching an additional trunk. The SUV does not have roof rails according to the standard. As mentioned earlier, it can paint the roof in a different color relative to the body. According to the standard, you will paint it in the same color as the main part of the body.
The interior of the new SUV
The interior of the new Range Rover 2022 also received changes, but not as noticeable as in appearance. Most of the updates did not come from the front panel. The central part of the panel has got new, narrower air ducts with a horizontal chrome line in the center. Similar changes occurred in the multimedia display. Its designers made it in the form of a tablet. The display itself is 13″ with the new PiviPro control system.
Information has repeatedly surfaced that the screen can be detached and used as a tablet, while the screen will not lose its functionality. There is no confirmation on this yet, but modern developments will implement such a function.
Moving down the center of the Range Rover’s dashboard, the designers positioned the climate control panel. The interesting point is that the manufacturer abandoned the touch-sensitive climate control this time, installing mechanical knobs with displays inside. The buttons themselves are still touch-sensitive. It duplicated the same panel on the central multimedia screen.
No less luxurious is the central tunnel of the Range Rover 2022 between the front seats. The gearshift knob was made smaller and sportier. The engine start button, the mode selector, and all-wheel-drive control are also located here. For convenience, hidden panels placed wireless charging, a pair of heated and cooled cup holders, USB ports, and other little things for comfort.
As for the interior of the Range Rover 2022, everything will depend on the wheelbase and the modification of the SUV. The car is designed for five seats with a 2 + 3 landing formula according to the standard and with a standard wheelbase. Top options can be designed for four seats – 2 + 2, where the second row will receive two separate seats and a massive armrest in the center, as a continuation of the front central tunnel.
The most spacious will be considered the long-wheelbase Range Rover for 5 or 4 seats. The latter option will be premium in its class and receive the maximum possible amount of stuffing for second-row passengers. The tunnel (armrest) between the rear seats will acquire a touch screen to control vehicle systems, climate control, and other functions. The seats will receive heating and airflow and a message with the setting of individual modes and memory.
Say it’s not enough? Then It will offer the buyer’s choice along with base Range Rover 2022 for seven seats and three rows of seats. The landing formula, in this case, will be 2 + 3 + 2, while the third row will be full-fledged and designed for two passengers. Another very important point is the upholstery of the seats.
The new Range Rover 2022 will be the first model where the company has abandoned genuine leather. Although for some countries, they can still leave leather trim as an exception. Instead of leather, the interior of the Range Rover will be upholstered in Ultrafabricks textiles and Kvadrat fabric. The floor mats also distinguished themselves, they decided to make them from recycled waste, but they haven’t specified which one yet.
It is clear that such premium SUV seats will be comfortable and will acquire the maximum number of functions, all kinds of adjustments, and settings. The new Range Rover will be offered in black, brown, and white in terms of interior colors. A combination of shades and perforated inserts is also possible.
It should pay special attention to the driver’s seat Range Rover. The steering wheel now has two spokes and not four as before. The side spokes received touch-sensitive function buttons, leather upholstery, and gearshift paddles for driver comfort. The instrument panel will be only digital, starting with the basic configuration. It is based on a 13.7″ color display. In addition to the standard information display modes, the driver can customize the display of devices to his taste and select the shade of the backlight.
All of the above is just a small part of what will be in the cabin of the new Range Rover 2022. There are all kinds of stands, additional 11″ touchscreen displays on the front seat headrests, and a modern ventilation system. By the way, the latter is well thought out and designed to reduce all kinds of doors and bacteria allergens and can even minimize the spread of coronavirus in the interior of an SUV.
