It should have been designed as a ground-up EV and EV alone. The ultra-luxury market is where EVs can shine with their power delivery and quietness. Also, Rivian has proven that you can make EVs go off-road and do it well.

The magazine pictures the rear end looks good. The real life picture here, this looks awful. Really really bad looking rear end in the picture. What was RR thinking

Jaguar tried that with the XJ only to cancel it at the last minute because it wasn't competitive enough. Their other single attempt at a bespoke EV, the I-Pace, was wildly inefficient with poor range, even worse than some EV's at the time built on top of ICE platforms like the E-Tron crossover. Now they're trying to find another manufacturer willing to give them a different EV platform to use (at this point it'll most likely be BMW's).

JLR hasn't quite figured out EV's yet.

I actually don't mind the exterior at all including the rear but I really don't like the tacked on ipad look of the infotainment screen. It may be one of the worst implementations of a screen I have seen.

It looks good except the rear end looks funny in those pictures. I hope the rear looks better in person as the rest of the vehicle looks good.

The current Range Rover is probably the best designed SUV of all time - its very hard to top its exterior design.

This new one is just a mild update which is safe way to do it, the taillights and interior are underwhelming.

I know I sound like a broken record at this point but I'm having a hard time getting over how bland the interior is.


Also here's a leaked press video:
