NEW RANGE ROVER
The fifth-generation luxury SUV takes the Land Rover brand’s modernist design philosophy to the next level, with a contemporary interpretation of its trademark profile to create an incredible design statement.
The new 2022 Range Rover is available in SE and Autobiography models. A First Edition model will be available throughout the first year of production, based on the Autobiography and featuring a unique specification. It is exclusively available in a Sunset Gold Satin finish, among a choice of five exterior colors. Both Standard (SWB) or Long Wheelbase (LWB) body designs are available with five seats, while the New Range Rover LWB model is available with a third row for extended comfort for up to seven adults.
Available for order in early 2022, the new Range Rover SV is an exquisite interpretation of Range Rover luxury and personalization from the experts at Special Vehicle Operations. Available in both SWB and LWB body designs, with exclusive design details, material choices and enhanced functionality, this hand-crafted model will be the first Land Rover vehicle to carry the new ceramic SV roundel and simplified naming strategy – known simply as SV. The SV roundel represents the distillation of Special Vehicle Operations design and engineering passion for modern luxury, performance and capability. This is also the first time the LWB model is offered in a five-seat configuration on SV models.
A suite of innovative technologies contributes to the peerless comfort and refinement of the New Range Rover. New third-generation Active Noise Cancellation technology delivers one of the quietest cabins on the road. It builds on the hushed and sealed body architecture by using microphones on the outside of the vehicle and headrest speakers on the inside to create personal quiet zones for the cabin occupants – much like high-end active noise cancelling headphones.
The New Range Rover offers intuitive voice control with Amazon Alexa built-in1. Using natural voice commands enables customers to manage everything from favorite infotainment features and music track selection to navigation or phone contacts – all while keeping their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road.
The Land Rover brand’s award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment technology5 is elevated by the New Range Rover with its largest ever touchscreen. The 13.1-inch curved, floating screen embodies the architectural lightness of the interior with a minimalist frame design. It provides intuitive control of all the major vehicle functions, using the latest consumer technology to deliver a smartphone-inspired interface, haptic feedback when customers touch and press the screen, allied to convenient hard switches for the climate control.
2022 JAGUAR F-TYPE
For 2022, the Jaguar F-TYPE will be offered in two distinct configurations with more standard luxury and convenience features than before: the 444hp F-TYPE P450 and 575hp F-TYPE R. The newest member of the F-TYPE family is available as a coupe or convertible in P450 RWD or P450 R-Dynamic AWD trims.
Unique to F-TYPE, its supercharged, 444hp V8 has been developed to offer exploitable, rewarding performance – its maximum torque of 428 lb-ft being generated from just 2,500 rpm. A standard electronic active differential further optimizes traction. In either configuration, RWD or AWD, F-TYPE P450 bolts from 0 to 60mph in just 4.4 seconds, with a maximum speed of 177 mph(3).
Super-slim LED headlights with subtly updated signature Double J-Blade daytime running lights blend perfectly into the surfacing of the clamshell hood, exaggerating the visual width and accentuating its assertive stance. The rear haunches enhance the inherently dramatic, purposeful form of F-TYPE, while the new slender rear lights combine an unmistakable LED chicane signature, with subtle monogram pattern detailing. To this exterior styling, F-TYPE P450 R-Dynamic AWD adds bespoke badging; a gloss black front splitter, side sills, valance, and venturi; auto-dimming, power-folding, heated door mirrors with memory; and 20-inch split-spoke, gloss Dark Grey with Contrast Diamond Turned Finish Wheels.
The interior combines traditional Jaguar craftsmanship with rich, contemporary materials such as Windsor Leather and satin-finish Noble Chrome. Beautiful details include monogram stitch patterns in the seats and door trims, Jaguar Leaper motifs in the headrests, and subtle “Jaguar Est.1935” markings on the center console finisher, glovebox release button surround, and seatbelt guides.
The 2022 Jaguar F-TYPE is available in the U.S., priced from $71,300(2).
