DESIGN
The Range Rover celebrates 50 years of design leadership in 2020. Over half a century, the Land Rover luxury SUV has evolved into one of the most refined and desirable SUVs in the world with a unique combination of effortless sophistication and all-terrain capability.
"In the world of luxury vehicles, the Range Rover has always stood apart as peerless and enduring," said Prof Gerry McGovern OBE, Land Rover Chief Creative Officer. "It's unique and pioneering sensibilities together with an unrivaled engineering approach have been the intrinsic values which our customers have admired since the first of the breed was revealed in 1970."
The legendary profile, floating roof and clamshell hood are hallmarks of its peerless design while the interior combines the finest materials and latest technologies to deliver the level of refinement customers expect from the flagship of the Range Rover family.
Customers can specify select Range Rover models with one of two design packs. With the Black Exterior Pack key elements, including the hood and tailgate lettering, grille mesh and inner grille surround, are finished in Narvik Black, while the Shadow Exterior Pack sees the same components finished in Shadow Atlas.
The introduction of a trio of new special edition models for 2021 gives customers more choice than ever before, with the Range Rover Autobiography Fifty Edition, HSE Westminster Edition and SVAutobiography Dynamic Black Edition models each providing a unique take on the elegant SUV.
Autobiography Fifty Edition
To celebrate 50 years of Range Rover, the limited run of 50th Anniversary "Fifty" special edition models will be restricted to just 1,970 vehicles, in recognition of the year the original Range Rover was launched.
Building on the luxuriously-appointed Autobiography, the Range Rover Autobiography Fifty Edition features a number of bespoke exterior and interior design enhancements. These include Auric Atlas grille surround, bumper and side vent accents, tailgate finisher and Autobiography badge all finished in unique Auric Atlas. Two 22-inch wheels are available on the 50th Anniversary model, both featuring a distinctive forged, five-split spoke design, one with an exclusive Gloss Black with Diamond Turned finish.
The badging features a "Fifty" script created personally by Chief Creative Officer, Prof. Gerry McGovern OBE, which will appear both on the exterior of the vehicle and throughout the interior via the unique "1 of 1970" center console commissioning plaque, headrests, dashboard and illuminated treadplates.
The Range Rover Autobiography Fifty Edition will be available in standard and long wheelbase body designs with customers able to choose from Metallic and Premium Metallic colors; Carpathian Grey, Rossello Red, Aruba and Santorini Black. In extremely limited numbers, Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations will also offer the Autobiography Fifty Edition in one of three Heritage exterior solid paints reproduced from the original Range Rover paint palette; Tuscan Blue, Bahama Gold and Davos White.
HSE Westminster Edition
The HSE Westminster Edition is based on the HSE trim level and is available with a choice of mild hybrid 395hp turbocharged inline six-cylinder and 518hp supercharged V8 gasoline engines. Atlas exterior accents and 21-inch 7 Split-Spoke 'Style 7001' wheels set it apart on the outside and the new model is available in a range of Solid, Metallic and Premium Metallic finishes. Inside, the special edition model features standard Shadow Walnut veneers, 20-way heated and cooled front seats, refrigerated front center console, soft close doors and 825 Watt 19-speaker Meridian(TM) surround sound system.
SVAutobiography Dynamic Black Edition
The Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic Black Edition is designed to enhance the visual character of the purposeful model and combines Santorini Black Metallic paintwork with Narvik Black gloss exterior accents, 22-inch Gloss Black forged wheels and branded illuminated treadplates. Other distinguishing exterior features include black brake calipers, while the interior is completed in Ebony seats with Pimento stitching.
Interior Design
The interior of the 2021 Range Rover is as luxurious, comfortable and beautifully crafted as ever. Each sumptuous detail has been carefully designed and precision-engineered with the comfort and enjoyment of its occupants in mind.
"The Range Rover continues to provide impeccable refinement with high-quality materials that create a truly luxurious experience," said Alan Sheppard, Director, Interior Design, Land Rover.
Luxury appointments and comfort are prerequisites, along with carefully considered storage and the latest technologies. Seating is wide and provides generous recline, legroom and foot space. The 16-way grained leather seats combine heating and memory functions while the top of the range executive seats feature Semi-Aniline leather and massage functionality.
Executive Class Rear Seating, fitted standard to Autobiography and above trims, is designed to elevate the traveling experience. Wider seat frames and deeper cushioning with interlayers create the impression of a luxurious wraparound interior. The seat position, massage functionality, temperature and rear cabin climate control can all be managed by rear seat passengers.
Passengers using the Executive Class Rear Seating can also recline their seatbacks up to 40 degrees to make the most of the additional 7.6 inches of legroom provided by the long wheelbase body design while the cosseting headrests have eight settings to help maximize comfort.
The Range Rover features 0.24-inch (6mm) laminated glass to help ensure road, engine and wind noise does not disturb occupants. In SVAutobiography Dynamic, SVAutobiography Dynamic Black Edition and long wheelbase SVAutobiography models, rear passengers can access a standard power deployable center console that is available at the touch of a button and features a break at the center footwell to enable an easy egress from either side of the vehicle.
The elegant interior is practical as well as comfortable with a series of flexible storage solutions available, including front cup holders that slide forward to reveal a deep storage area of up to 1.2 gallons (4.5 liters) in the center console. Customers can also specify a cooler compartment or a refrigerator in the front center console that holds four 500ml bottles and chills to 41°F (5°C).
The front and rear door pockets hold larger 50 fl oz (1.5 liter) bottles and the rear console storage offers 0.74 gallons (2.8 liters) of additional storage in long wheelbase models. At the rear of the central console a 110V domestic plug socket allows customers to charge laptops and other mobile devices.
A series of comfort-enhancing functions transform the travelling experience for all occupants. An available Cabin Air Ionization with PM2.5 from Nanoe(TM), new for 2021, is designed to help improve air quality for both drivers and passengers by filtering particulates in the cabin.
The new PM2.5 system is controlled using the 'Purify' soft key within the vehicle's infotainment touchscreen. This initiates the recirculation function, helping clean the air by removing small particulates less than 2.5 micrometers2.
By night, the Range Rover provides customers further control over the cabin environment with three-zone Configurable Ambient Lighting. Occupants can tailor the atmosphere to create a calm, relaxing environment by configuring the color (from a choice of 10) and intensity of lighting via fully controllable tricolor LEDs.
CAPABILITY
Mixing traditional attributes such as suspension geometry that enables up to 11.7-inches (297mm), along with advanced technologies that include Terrain Response(R) 23, the Range Rover delivers refinement, composure and capability.
"Over 50 years, the Range Rover has established a reputation for stunning refinement and pioneering capability, and the latest model takes this heritage to the next level with technologies like Adaptive Dynamics and Terrain Response 2," said Nick Rogers, Executive Director Product Engineering, Jaguar Land Rover. "Thanks to the dedication and hard work of our Jaguar Land Rover family, our luxury SUV has an awesome breadth of capability, both on-road and off-road, in any environment."
The Range Rover features suspension design using advanced aluminum construction that combines poise, stability and an intuitive feel behind the wheel. The fully independent suspension comes with a wide-spaced double wishbone setup at the front and an advanced integral link layout at the rear.
The Range Rover continues to take the Land Rover brand's legendary all-terrain capabilities to new heights with its innovative technologies and four wheel drive system. The vehicle's four wheel drive capability is managed by a two-speed transfer case, which features a smart actuator controlled via a multi-plate clutch. An available Active Rear Locking Differential is designed to further improve traction, while Adaptive Dynamics provides continuously variable damping for a supple and composed ride in a variety of conditions3.
Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) utilizes variable ratio speed-sensitive assistance is designed to deliver a relaxed and natural driving experience.
Core to the Range Rover SUV's off-road capabilities is Land Rover Terrain Response(R) 2 technology. Drivers are able to choose between Comfort, Dynamic, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl and Eco modes - with the vehicle's suspension and ride settings automatically fine-tuned for each. Auto mode is designed to choose the most appropriate setting for the conditions3.
Eco mode also provides guidance to the driver on how to improve efficiency, while minimizing electrical power consumption. It softens the throttle pedal response, modifies the gearshift patterns and switches off the heating for the door mirrors, steering wheel and seats3.
The Range Rover also benefits from Low Traction Launch, which helps exploit all available traction when pulling away on low traction surfaces, and available All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC), which is designed to maintain a low crawl speed to help the vehicle negotiate rough terrain3. When crossing water, the Range Rover is as capable as customers would imagine, with a maximum wading depth of 35.4-inches (900mm).
When cruising at sustained speeds above 65mph (105km/h)4, the suspension automatically lowers the body by 0.6-inches (15mm) to help reduce drag. At a standstill, Access Height lowers the vehicle by up to 2-inches (50mm) to aid ingress and egress of the vehicle. This feature can also lock the suspension at this low level, enabling the Range Rover to travel at speeds of up to 25mph (40km/h)4 in locations with restricted height, such as multi-story parking lots3.
The SUV's ride height can also be increased with two elevated suspension height settings. Off-Road Ride Height 1 lifts the vehicle by as much as 1.6-inches (40mm) at speeds of up to 50mph (80km/h)4, while Off-Road Ride Height 2 raises the body by 3-inches (75mm) at speeds of up to 31mph (50km/h)4 for a maximum ground clearance of 11.7-inches (297mm)3.
For towing and loading, owners can control the height of the vehicle's rear, which can be lowered by as much as 2.4-inches (60mm) for improved loading or raised by 3.5-inches (90mm) to assist in the hitching of trailers when stationary, using controls at the side of the rear loadspace.
The Range Rover also benefits from available Advanced Tow Assist, which is designed to allow drivers to use the central touchscreen and rotary Terrain Response(R) 2 selector to steer the vehicle when reversing3.
TECHNOLOGY
From its intuitive touchscreen infotainment to the comprehensive range of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, the golden anniversary Range Rover continues the tradition of pioneering technology that has been part of the Range Rover story for 50 years.
Enhanced smartphone connectivity is available as standard with Apple CarPlay(R) and Android Auto(TM) available while the embedded Spotify app gives customers instant access to more than 50 million tracks and more than 700,000 podcasts2.
"For five decades the Range Rover has been a technological pioneer, introducing a series of innovations to the mainstream - it was the first SUV to use ABS anti-lock brakes, the first to feature automatic electronic air suspension and the world's first all-aluminum SUV," said Alex Heslop, Director, Electronics and Software, Jaguar Land Rover. "The Range Rover is more connected than ever, giving drivers and passengers the latest in comfort, safety and convenience features in a sophisticated luxury SUV."
Developed with Spotify, the new embedded app is integrated with the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system so customers can enjoy their favorite playlists without even connecting their smartphone. Through the Spotify Connect feature, playback can resume from any other device when customers get into their car - from just where they left off for a seamless listening experience2.
The music app is accessed via the Touch Pro Duo infotainment, which features two high-definition 10-inch touchscreens at the center of the beautifully crafted cabin. The system combines physical controls and an elegant digital interface to deliver a connected driving experience. Touch Pro Duo allows the driver or front passenger to dual-task, keeping mapping information displayed on the upper touchscreen while providing easy access to further features on the secondary lower display2.
The upper screen on the central console can be angled to help counter glare and improve visibility while the fixed lower 10-inch display is the control panel for managing functional tasks including climate control, seat and vehicle settings. The intuitive Dynamic Dials allow drivers and passengers to control the climate control and heated and cooled seats quickly and easily on the move2.
Ahead of the driver, the Interactive Driver Display presents a range information on its 12-inch high resolution screen. In addition, the available next-generation Head-Up Display (HUD) system uses a 10-inch full-color projection to provide key information to the driver including, vehicle speed, navigation directions, speed limits and Advanced Driver Assistance system information can be displayed. The full-color image is generated using four super-bright LEDs and a high resolution TFT LCD screen3.
With essential information directly in the driver's field of view, the Range Rover puts control at owner's fingertips on the steering wheel, featuring intuitive capacitive switches with dynamic illuminated icons. Drivers have access to the full instrument cluster, including media playback, phone and cruise control2.
Passengers in the Range Rover have access to up to 17 electrical sockets ranging from USB plugs, HDMI connectors, 12V and 110V charging points, which are integrated discretely throughout the cabin. Customers can also specify the luxury SUV with 10-inch rear seat entertainment touchscreens for passengers in the second row. Connectivity is equally generous, with provision for up to eight 4G Wi-Fi connections, making the Range Rover a mobile technology hub5.
2021 Range Rover models can also be specified with one of three powerful Meridian(TM) audio systems, ranging from 380W or 825W Surround Systems to the flagship 1700W Signature Sound System, providing 13, 19, and 29 speakers respectively in addition to a dual-channel subwoofer.
A range of Advanced Driver Assistance technologies are equipped standard across all trims including, Rear Camera, Lane Departure Warning, Emergency Braking6, Front and Rear Park Distance Control, and Cruise Control with Speed Limiter3.

While the driver is required to keep both hands on the steering wheel, this system is designed to work with the driver to help keep the vehicle centered in the lane by applying moderate steering inputs when traveling up to speeds of 112mph (180km/h)3,4 (standard on Autobiography and above trims)
POWERTRAIN
The Range Rover can be fitted with a variety of four-, six- and eight-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines, including mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.
The mild hybrid 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder gasoline engine is available in 355hp and 395hp outputs, while the most powerful Range Rover models feature the brand's 5.0-liter supercharged V8 gasoline engine, in a choice of 518hp and 557hp outputs. The 557hp is capable of acceleration from 0-60mph in as little as 5.1 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds)4, with an electronically-limited top speed of 130mph4 and delivers a blend of performance, comfort and refinement.
A powerful 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 diesel engine is available exclusively in the Range Rover HSE, delivering 254hp and 443 lb ft of torque.
The P400e plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain combines an advanced 296hp (221kW) turbocharged four-cylinder Ingenium gasoline engine with an 114hp (105kW) electric motor, for a combined power output of 398hp (297kW). With 472 lb ft of torque, it blends dynamic and sustainable performance with traditional Range Rover capability, comfort and refinement - the P400e accelerates from 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds (0-100km/h in 6.8 seconds)4 and achieves an electronically-limited top speed of 137mph4.
The combination of Ingenium gasoline and electric power can be used in two driving modes: Parallel Hybrid mode (the default driving mode) and EV (Electric Vehicle) mode.
Parallel Hybrid mode comes with two charge-management features. Predictive Energy Optimization helps to make the most of both power sources and is activated when the driver enters a destination into the navigation system2. By analyzing the traffic, gradient of the route and whether it is urban or rural, the PHEV system is designed to seamlessly combine electric and Ingenium gasoline engine power.
The driver-selectable SAVE mode is accessed through the central touchscreen and maintains battery charge at the point of activation2. At this point, the vehicle will only use the electric motor once it has replenished enough energy via charging or regenerative braking, allowing customers to conserve electric power to be used on a specific part of their journey.
In EV mode, the P400e can be driven with zero tailpipe emissions. This driving mode is selected manually using a button on the console and gives the PHEV model an electric-only top speed of 85mph (137km/h)4.
The 7kW on-board recharging socket is hidden behind the Land Rover badge on the right of the grille, while the 13.1kWh prismatic cell lithium-ion battery is mounted at the rear, beneath the trunk floor.
All Range Rover PHEV models feature a Mode 3 charging cable as standard. All full charge from a 220V/32Amp dedicated charger using a Mode 3 cable can be achieved in as little as 2 hours 45 minutes7.
Timed charging is also available via the SUV's infotainment system, which allows owners to choose the most appropriate time to begin charging - perfect for customers who want to plug in when they return home, but wait to top up the battery until later off-peak hours.
Customers can use the InControl smartphone app to monitor the charge status wherever they are, receiving alerts if there is an error or if the cable has been removed. Alternatively, illuminated bars either side of the charging socket provide a quick and simple visual indication of the charging status.
The operation of the PHEV powertrain is supported by an advanced eight-speed automatic transmission, which features lightweight construction and delivers the supreme refinement and assured responses expected from the Range Rover. The transmission is designed to adapt to individual driving styles, so dynamic driving is automatically accompanied by more prompt gear changes.
Jaguar Land Rover has focused on reducing the environmental impact of its vehicles and operations. This has included reducing the CO2 emissions from building each car by 46 percent compared to 2007 levels, and the purchase of zero-carbon electricity for all UK-based operations.
Jaguar Land Rover is also working with the Carbon Trust across its UK manufacturing and production sites to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
