2018 Range Rover Photo Gallery

The Range Rover has received a mid-life update for 2018. It gets some visual and technological tweaks, but, the most prominent update is in the form of a plug-in hybrid electric powertrain. The big daddy of the Land Rover family now becomes the second car with an electrified powertrain. Let’s have a detailed look at the new and updated Range Rover through a detailed picture gallery.

The update adds a redesigned radiator grille and new all-LED headlamps to the imposing fascia of the Range Rover. The front bumper now integrates wider air-vents compared to the older car.

The LED headlights have four lighting options – premium, matrix, pixel, and pixel-laser. The lightning signature is now akin to the Range Rover Sport which also received an update a few weeks ago.

On the sides, the trademark side gills of the Range Rover get two alternative design schemes – Satin body-coloured and Atlas accent finish. Customers can now choose from six new alloy wheel designs.

The LED tail lights also get a revised lighting signature. The revised bumpers now have integrated exhaust tips. Two design packages, Black Pack and Shadow Pack, further lend a personalised touch to the SUV.

There are noticeable changes on the inside. The seats are now wider and reclining with 24-way adjustability and massage functions for that sumptuous luxury. The instrument cluster is a 12-inch display with all the information a driver could ever need.

The SUV gets 17 connection points for USB, HDMI, and 12-volt plugs inside the cabin along with 4G Wi-Fi connectivity. The cabin also gets Land Rover’s InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system with a 10-inch touchscreen.

The updated Range Rover carries forward the current powertrain without any changes. However, the range-topping SV Autobiography Dynamic now gets a supercharged V8 engine with 557bhp (15bhp increase).

But, the newest powertrain, the P400e PHEV, combines a 296bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol unit with an 114bhp electric motor. The total output is 398bhp, available only in the permanent four-wheel-drive system.

The PHEV Land Rover can accelerate to 100kmph in 6.8 seconds up to a top speed of 220kmph. The P400e, which is offered in both standard and long-wheelbase styles, replaces the SDV6 Hybrid Diesel powertrain.

The P400e comes with two driving modes – a default Parallel Hybrid and EV. The 13.1kWh battery pack eats up some of the boot space. The PHEV also features a Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO) function.

A full charge can take as little as two hours and forty five minutes via a special home wall box. A standard charge, however, takes over seven hours. The charging point is situated behind the Land Rover badge on the right side of the front grille.
