The forthcoming 2021 Land Rover Range Rover has been spied a couple of months ago. Its arrival is expected in the last quarter of 2020. For 2021, Land Rover will deliver numerous updates. Range Rover SUV will surely get a couple of drastic changes.
That includes a new platform, and hybrid powertrain is the most possible outcome. Besides mechanical upgrades, Land Rover will deliver exterior redesign and various interior updates. The price will slightly increase, and here’s everything we know about the arriving SUV.
2021 Range Rover Redesign
The all-new 2021 Land Rover Range Rover has been spied once again. The prototype wears longer wheelbase, and the rear doors are bigger than before. The arriving SUV could also get some type of special edition. However, the regular model will surely get a redesign. Camouflage perfectly hides some exterior parts, but most of the novelties are visible at first glance. The Range Rover will continue with its boxy shape. The front fascia now wears new headlights, and the rear part gets brand-new taillights.
The rear spoiler is visible under the heavy camo, and it looks like it features a completely new shape. From what we saw, the design looks cleaner. The styling looks perfect and very modern. The manufacturer will introduce new architecture. The same platform will underpin Range Rover Sport variant. It is a Modular Longitudinal Architecture. The MLA architecture will reduce the vehicle’s weight, and it will accommodate hybrid powertrain.
Hybrid is Coming
For 2021, the arriving model will get some sort of electrification. Most likely, the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover will get a hybrid powertrain. The all-electric version is unlikely to happen in the next two or three years. The Range Rover Hybrid will deploy a plug-in hybrid system. It will be a combination of the electric motor on the rear axle and the four-cylinder gasoline engine.
However, the all-wheel-drive will be optional. Ranger Rover will arrive with 31 miles of all-electric driving range. The hybrid setup should deliver around 355 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque via its 48-volt electric motor. As for the regular Range Rover, once it goes on sale, the biggest rival will be new Bentley Bentayga. For that reason, a new Range Rover will introduce a more powerful engine. The most likely outcome is BMW’s 5.0-liter with over 500 horses. As for the hybrid version, Land Rover is yet to release official specs.
2021 Land Rover Range Rover Price and Release Date
The price will slightly increase for the upcoming model. New 2021 Land Rover Range Rover will now cost around $95,000. As for the hybrid variant, its price will cost over $100,000. Still, the range-topping SVAutobiography will cost over $200,000. Some parts and changes are still a mystery.
However, the manufacturer will provide further info in the coming weeks. The sales will begin in the last quarter of 2020. We will write about additional details very soon. Land Rover could introduce new trim levels, and more importantly, all of the trims will get significant upgrades.
