Whooping amounts of rear wheel steering are fine but the rear lights still look dodgy.

The new Range Rover SV has 1.6 million spec combos
Many, many luxury options are here for 2022, so there's no excuse for two Range Rover SVs looking alike
There’s a new Range Rover SV coming from JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations this year, and the list of exquisite, luxurious, I-didn’t-know-that-was-a-word-but-it-sounds-fancy options is really quite long.
In fact the SVO department reckons there are 1.6 million different combinations of premium things to be had, so there should be no chance of identical-car embarrassment when you inevitably encounter a fellow owner at the local golf club.
A pair of design themes - SV Serenity and SV Intrepid - underpin SVO’s offering, and both can be applied independently or in conjunction with each other inside and out. To cut a long story short, the former is focused on luxury while the latter brings ‘stealthier’ styling cues. Judge for yourself by flicking through the gallery above.
An exclusive new front bumper and five-bar, metal-plated grille sets the car apart from the standard model, and there are 14 additional exterior colours to choose from. Alternatively SV runs a Bespoke Match to Sample paint service, so the possibilities are pretty much endless.
Inside ceramic controls and surfaces feature for the first time, adorning the gear shifter, Terrain Response and volume controls. These are produced at 1,500 degrees Celsius before being diamond polished or sandblasted to achieve a gloss or satin process. It isn’t the work of a moment either, as this alone takes around 10 weeks. Yikes.
Meanwhile the wood veneer can be specced with a hand-laid mosaic pattern throughout, and in another first, eco-conscious buyers can choose a sustainable leather that results in just a quarter of the CO2 in its production process.

New Range Rover PHEV brings 70-mile EV range for £103,485
Plug-in hybrid opens for orders as official efficiency figures are revealed to beat early predictions
Land Rover has revealed pricing and specification details for the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants of the new Range Rover, which the firm says offer “exceptional efficiency” and up to 70 miles of electric-only range.
Prices start from £103,485 for the P440e, which is driven by a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six petrol engine mated to a 38.2kWh battery and a 141bhp electric motor. Land Rover claims a total power output of 434bhp and 457lb ft.
The P510e offers an uprated 3.0-litre petrol engine but makes use of the same 38kWh battery and 141bhp electric motor, for 503bhp and 516lb ft of torque.
Both variants are available in SE, HSE and Autobiography specification levels. P440e models can be selected in long- or short-wheelbase forms, while the more powerful P510e is short-wheelbase only.
All models gain all-wheel steering, a panoramic sunroof and a host of tech upgrades as standard, including a new 13.1in infotainment system to control most primary vehicle functions, Amazon Alexa speech recognition and wireless smartphone mirroring.

The new Range Rover PHEV costs £103,485
Plug-in power costs a pretty penny, but the Range Rover PHEV goes big on range
The new Range Rover line-up is priced up and available to order, with two plug-in hybrid variants and the ultra-luxurious SV line joining the roster.
The PHEVs consist of the P440e and P510e, both of which use a 141bhp electric motor but diverge when it comes to the engine: the former gets a 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder petrol for a total of 434bhp, the latter is uprated for a peak of 503bhp and 516lb ft of torque.
Land Rover says that the Range Rover also exceeds expectations when it comes to range and emissions, with both plug-in versions surpassing their estimates to achieve 70 miles on a full charge.
Similarly, a target of 30g/km for CO2 emissions has been lowered to 18g/km on official tests. Not bad for a car that’ll do 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds.
If TG’s EV calculator is in good working order that means the Range Rover offers the second-most electric range of any PHEV ever sold, beaten only by the Polestar 1.
It’s thanks to a whopping 38kWh battery (that’s more than you get in an entire Mini Electric!), which is so large that Land Rover has felt compelled to offer 50kW rapid DC charging. You don’t see that every day. Not on a plug-in hybrid, anyway.
“New Range Rover is the most desirable, elegant and capable luxury SUV in the world,” said Nick Collins, executive director vehicle programmes at JLR. “Our efficient new extended-range plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrains elevate the driving experience with a fine balance of performance, refinement and efficiency, enabling owners to complete whisper quiet zero emissions journeys of up to 70 miles.”

Take a deep breath: New Range Rover starting price revealed ahead of SA debut
Land Rover’s new Range Rover has arrived in South Africa in pre-production guise for homologation and technical purposes.
Due to be launched officially around June with 19 individual models starting at R2.86-million, the media had a sneak peek opportunity at the Jaguar Land Rover Experience in Joburg this week. And it’s everything a Range Rover should be, carrying on the tradition of a luxury SUV that this time round takes it to the next level both in terms of technology and design.
Locally there will be a choice of HSE and Autobiography models as well as a unique First Edition during the first year of production that’s based on the Autobiography and will be available exclusively in a Sunset Gold satin finish. Both the Standard (SWB) and Long Wheelbase (LWB) body designs will be available with five seats and the LWB with an option of a third row of seats.
Debuting in the Range Rover is the new BMW-sourced P530 4.4-litre V8 engine with two parallel twin-scroll turbos - one for each cylinder bank. It produces 390kW and 750Nm of torque and with Dynamic Launch engaged will get to 100km/h in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 250km/h. There’s also the D350 3.0-litre straight six turbo diesel with 257kW and 700Nm of torque that will get you to 100km/h in 6.1 seconds.
The third option is the new Extended Range P510e plug-in hybrid that combines Land Rover’s 375kW straight six petrol engine with a 38.2kWh lithium-ion battery and a 105kW electric motor with a range of 113km. Because of the instant torque it moves from standstill to 100km/h in 5.6 seconds.

Range Rover touches down in SA from R2.8m
The ‘big daddy’ Range Rover is ready for its big day, but first, we were handed a chance to get a look inside and out of what is the most luxurious and comfortable SUV Range Rover has ever built.
Certain cars only work when you see them in the sheet metal, and the 2022 Range Rover is a prime example of that. Revealed in late October 2021, this latest generation of Land Rover’s luxury SUV felt reliably handsome and circumspect in the official photos; it’s only now, as it makes its exclusive South African debut ahead of the official launch later this year, that the depths of its detailing become clear.
So, up front it gets a familiar light signature, and begins the three sweeping lines that all Range Rover models have featured. The front overhangs are still short, while the sill line rises in height against the falling roofline. At the back, there’s a new “boat tail” rear and a split tailgate we’ve come to know the brand for.
Overall, Range Rover says, the idea was to build an SUV that looks like it’s carved from a solid form. The finish is flush, and the lighting designed to hide until it’s illuminated. It’s based on Land Rover’s new flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture, also known as MLA-Flex.
Elsewhere, at the one extreme, the 2022 Range Rover can be voluminous, long-wheelbase transportation for up to seven, with the SUV’s first 7-seat option. At the other end of the scale, a Range Rover SV with the Signature Suite cabin makes for a lavish four-seater, with 90+ cm of legroom to stretch out in the rear.
Sandwiched in between are various configurations with five seats, short and long wheelbase options, and of course Land Rover’s three-strong array of engines.

The L322 really was the highpoint of this model line. I can't abide the Dubaiification of the most recent 2.
