Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia recently launched the new Range Rover L460, elevating the sports utility vehicle (SUV) segment through its breath-taking modernity and refinement.
The 5th-generation luxury SUV takes Land Rover’s modernist design philosophy to the next level with a contemporary interpretation of its trademark profile
The new Range Rover is defined by harmony of proportions, reductive surfaces and precise lines – supported by design-enabling technologies to give a honed-from-solid appearance.
Its distinctive design accentuates the new Range Rover’s strong sculpted body. Flush elements, clean expansive surfaces, hidden-until-lit tail lamps and precise detailing take the design philosophy to new levels of emotional engagement.
The Range Rover comes with a spacious five-seat layout, and is 75mm longer than the previous model due to the flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA-Flex) body architecture, which is up to 50% stiffer.
In addition, engineering enhancements contribute to a 24% improvement in noise transmission. Combining state‑of‑the‑art engineering techniques with 260,000 virtual tests and 1.2 million km of prototype testing, the new Range Rover is robust, sophisticated and delivers benchmark quality.
As a world-first feature, the hidden-until-lit taillights accentuate the overall visual of the SUV. A 10mm lower roofline reduces the frontal area of the vehicle with no compromise to interior space, while the fully flush doors and glazing minimise disturbance to the airflow as it passes down the side of the vehicle.
A wireless device charger allows drivers to charge their smartphones wirelessly within the vehicle by placement of a compatible CE device onto a charging surface.
The new model is also equipped with a Pivi Pro infotainment system featuring a 13.1-inch curved floating glass touchscreen with haptic feedback. This is complemented by a 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display with high-definition graphics and a configurable layout.
To ensure a smooth driving and parking process, ClearSight Ground View is included with a 3D surround camera, enabling drivers to see ‘through’ the bonnet, while manoeuvring lights illuminate the ground at low speed to help guide drivers safely in tight spots.
Also featured is the new 3rd generation Active Nice Cancellation system to provide quiet in-cabin comfort on the road. It builds on the hushed and sealed body architecture by using accelerometers and microphones on the outside of the vehicle to create quiet zones for the cabin occupants.
Safety features installed include the next-generation Electronic Air Suspension system that automatically lower the ride height when cruising above 105km/h and primes the vehicle to approach corners with ease, along with smart aerodynamic features such as active brake cooling.
There is also the All-Wheel Steering system which provide greater high-speed stability and tight turning circle kerb-to-kerb of less than 11m.
The all-new Range Rover also includes a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission with twin-speed transmission for better low-speed control in off-road situations.
Sime Darby Motors Malaysia, Hong Kong and Macau retail and distribution managing director Jeffrey Gan said: “With its powerful capabilities and modern sophistication, the Range Rover L460 is a welcome new addition to our portfolio of world-class vehicles. As a luxury SUV, we are confident that this new model will be sought after in Malaysia’s growing luxury car market,”
Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia managing director Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz said” “As part of Jaguar Land Rover’s drive to create the world’s most desirable vehicles, the Range Rover L460 has reimagined the luxury SUV with exquisite craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. From its design to its innovative capabilities and luxe interior, the new Range Rover is indeed in a class of its own, enabling drivers to enjoy an unmatched driving experience.”
The Range Rover L460 is priced at RM1,268,000 for duty-free and RM2,488,000 for duty-paid and is now available for booking.
The P530 is powered by a 530PS 4.4-litre V8 engine, producing 750Nm of torque and running at 1,800 to 4,600rpm.
