Ah, finally, the fourth generation of the Range Rover made its public debut at the Paris Motor Show. The vehicle looks stunning with it’s new design that includes a revised front grille, new hedlights and taillights ant the all-aluminum monocoque body and chassis that has lowered the SUV’s weight by 420 kg. The wheelbase has been increased by 100mm and the four-corner air suspension has also been entirely retweaked for the new model. The new Range Rover has also been fitted with the new generation of the Terrain Response 2 that analyzes the terrain in front and chooses its own setting from one of the five available.

Under the bonnet, customers can choose between a 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel V6 with 255 HP – 190 kW and 599 Nm of torque, or the larger 4.4-liter twin-turbo diesel V8 that produces  335 HP – 250 kW and 699 Nm of torque.

Petrolheads can opt for a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that boasts 504 HP – 376 kW and 624 Nm of torque that pushes the vehicle from 0 to 100km/h in 5.1 seconds all the way to a top speed of 225km/h. Every engine configuration comes with an eight speed automatic transmission.

The opulent interior has been designed for five passengers and it has been fitted to impress with it’s luxury and state of the art technlogy. Some might even say that the car is a rolling supercomputer, but the displays from its foot-wide touchscreen are a little slow. Ever been so mad on the traffic that you fee like screaming? Well, the Range Rover’s Harman Kardon 720-watt audio system will make sure to calm you down.
