New Range Rover pricing confirmed for New Zealand

Friday, 25 February 2022

Land Rover has revealed the all-new fifth-generation Range Rover.

Land Rover New Zealand has revealed prices for the all-new Range Rover due to land here in the middle of this year. A range of diesel and petrol models will initially make up the range, while plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models will follow shortly after.

The D300 and D350 models are powered by Range Rover’s 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder diesel engine in different states of tune, while the P530 gets the company’s all-new BMW-supplied twin-turbo petrol V8. The PHEV P510e models combine Land Rover’s inline six-cylinder petrol engine with a 38.2kWh lithium-ion battery and a 105kW electric motor integrated with the transmission.

The short wheelbase D300 SE starts the range at $209,900, while two SWB HSE models come next, with the D350 HSE landing at $239,900, while the P530 HSE will cost $254,900. Upgrading the P530 to First Edition or SV spec will cost $289,900 and $339,900 respectively.

The first shipment of all-new Range Rovers will land in New Zealand in the middle of this year.

Then there are the long wheelbase models, for the first time featuring seven-seat variants. The LWB D350 HSE seven-seater kicks off the stretched range at $249,900, while the P530 Autobiography will land at $279,900, or $284,900 for the seven-seat version. Topping the range is the LWB P530 SV at $384,900.

This means that while the range topping models are priced in excess of that current Range Rover, the entry models are cheaper.

Land Rover has also announced a number of other PHEV models that will be joining its range later in the year, including the Evoque P300e R-Dynamic SE ($117,900) and a pair of Velar P400e R-Dynamic models (the $139,900 SE and the $149,900 HSE).

According to Land Rover the Evoque PHEV will have 55kms of pure electric range and Velar PHEV will have 53kms. The full-size Range Rover, however, will have up to 113km of range, with an expected real world range of at least 80km.

“The new Range Rover PHEV models are a great stepping stone option for those customers who may be hesitant about transitioning to EV,” says Steve Kenchington, Land Rover New Zealand CEO.

“The new Range Rover is undoubtedly the most desirable luxury SUV on the market – it writes the next chapter for this incredibly unique brand known for its pioneering excellence.

“Unsurprisingly, the new Range Rover broke a record with over 60 pre-sales made just hours after its reveal to New Zealand customers – we expect this demand to skyrocket again when the vehicle launches in the country.”

The first shipment of new Range Rovers is expected to arrive in New Zealand from mid-2022, with Range Rover SV and PHEV models arriving later in the year. Kenchington says the company is hoping to secure a large allocation of production following the overwhelming demand for the vehicle.

The Evoque and Velar PHEV variants will launch in New Zealand in May and are available to order now.
