While Range Rover will always conjure the notion of tartan-clad hunters and loyal yellow dogs, it’s immediately clear the fifth-generation model advances Land Rover's quest for new customers. Conceived in the late 1960s as a rugged ute with British sensibility and taste, it’s grown into a design statement that showcases Land Rover’s latest technologies and most decadent luxury features. Like many off-roaders of a certain age, the Range Rover has matured and evolved. In pictures, you can’t tell the difference between this shade and the cheaper … Various shades of gold and bronze are the Range Rover’s calling card, but the First Edition and SV offer this so-called Sunset Gold Satin finish. Let’s pause for a moment to dwell on the paint. The off-roader has undergone far greater change, most notably the BMW-lead 2001 redesign. Still, the Range Rover looks like a dressier version of the last generation and it is a measured evolution. It’s a deep contrast to the previous model and its traditional blocky lighting. The grille and front end should look familiar to loyalists, but the boat tail shape in back is less prominent than ever before and the taillights disappear into the piano black settings. It makes SUVs from Audi and Lexus look terribly busy, and even the fourth-gen Range Rover is fussy in comparison. The 2022 model is flashy - note the door accents and cutting-edge taillights - but everything is flush to the body and it’s a modern, minimalist approach.
The design changes continue Range Rover’s aesthetic journey from rugged to racy. The new generation also offers noise canceling technology, a suspension that can self-adjust due to road conditions and six different driving modes that can be calibrated for on- or off-road conditions.

Based on Jaguar-Land Rover's new MLA-Flex platform, the Range Rover offers a bevy of useful features, including all-wheel steering, JLR's clever Pivi Pro Infotainment and power-assisted doors (coming on 2023 models). A plug-in hybrid joins the lineup later this year and an all-electric model follows next year. The basic Range Rover starts at $104,500 for the mild hybrid inline-six model, while the high-powered First Edition and SV variants approach the eye-watering $200,000 level with options. The Range Rover comes in long and short wheelbases and can seat as many as seven or as few as four. Against this crowded field, Land Rover brings it. Land Rover's color and materials team knew what it was doing.- a little bling is necessary for Land Rover to aggressively compete with the Mercedes GLS, BMW X7, Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, to say nothing of electric performers like the Hummer SUV and Rivian R1S. Dressed in Sunset Gold Satin finish - which rings up $7,450 of the vehicle’s $169,900 sticker - it looks expensive yet more nouveau riche than anything I’ve seen Land Rover build.
My jaw drops when I catch my first glimpse of the 2022 Range Rover First Edition in my driveway. Like many off-roaders of a certain age, the Range Rover has matured and evolved.
