Exclusive: every new Range Rover coming until 2023

Autocar has been digging deep into its wealth of industry contacts to reveal plans for all the new Range Rovers coming over the next five years.

We’ve also got our expert artists to conjure up our vision of what the new models will look like. Join us as we look into what the world-leading maker of premium SUVs has in store:

Range Rover Evoque - 2019

The second-generation Range Rover Evoque is due to be revealed at the Los Angeles auto show in November 2018. It will be the first transverse engine Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) model to get the firm’s new mild-hybrid technology. It will appear as five-door and convertible versions only. Picture: Autocar spy shot

Range Rover Evoque - 2019

The current model has been a smash hit for Land Rover, with annual sales of the entry-level Range Rover never dropping below 100,000 units, even six years from launch. It will be produced on an adapted version of the current car’s architecture, and its primary production location will continue to be at Halewood in Liverpool. Other production locations will include China and Brazil. Picture: Autocar Artist impression

‘Road Rover’ - 2020

Land Rover heads to new horizons with a more car-like Land Rover, due in 2020. A vehicle we dub the ‘Road Rover’ will probably wear a Range Rover badge in production. It will also be the firm’s first purely battery electric vehicle. Picture: Autocar Artist impression

‘Road Rover’ - 2020

It will have an allroad-style wagon body and deliver a capable, rather than outstanding, off-road performance. Its sister car will be the next Jaguar XJ, that brand’s first electric limousine. Picture: Autocar Artist impression

Range Rover Mk 5 - 2021

The next-generation Range Rover is intended to eclipse a new era of luxury rivals which have launched in the segment since the luxury SUV’s last major model change in 2012.  

It will use a new architecture, delivering major weight saving, though its size will be similar. An evolutionary design is expected, but don’t expect an electric version at launch. Picture: Autocar Artist impression

Range Rover Mk 5 - 2021

Instead, expect a plug-in hybrid system, as recently launched in the current range. Its Ford-sourced V6 and V8 engines will be ditched in favour of six cylinder units produced in-house in Wolverhampton, and we can expect extra power to come from a 48 Volt mild-hybrid system, recently spotted out testing. We expect the model will also feature Level 4 autonomous capability during its lifetime.

The new flagship will get an advanced version of the so-called Smart system. The artificial intelligent system preempts occupants’ habits, for example, seat and mirror positions and display preferences as well adjusting air conditioning according to the weather. Picture: Autocar Artist impression

Range Rover Sport Mk3 - 2022

As with the second generation model, this will be a smaller sister car to the Range Rover. It will follow around a year after the next Range Rover and also use JLR's new Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) platform, which will be rolled out across the range. Picture: Current model

Range Rover Electric Vehicle - 2022

The new MLA platform is ready to accommodate petrol, diesel, mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all electric powertrains, meaning a fully electric Range Rover will eventually be part of the fifth generation line-up. Picture: Autocar Artist impression

Range Rover Velar - 2023

It is only a year since the Velar’s launch, so a replacement is some way off. However, despite its hi-tech looks and interior, its powertrain tech will age quickly in its lifetime, meaning a successor could arrive sooner than usual. Picture: Current model

What’s being built where?

The next Evoque will be produced at Land Rover’s Halewood (Liverpool) factory, the home of the current model, as well as other locations including Brazil and China. The company’s Solihull (Birmingham -pictured) factory will benefit from part of a £4.2 billion investment from JLR to retool to accommodate production of the next-generation Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models.

Money is also being used to adapt Land Rover’s sites for electric vehicle production, although when the next Evoque goes on sale, it will not be offered as a full EV. Instead, it will get mild and plug-in hybrid variants. Land Rover’s first EV will be the Road Rover, due in 2020.

JLR is however openly worried about the impact of the UK leaving the European Union, which is due to occur in 2019; the company is keen to ensure frictionless trade with continental Europe continues, along with unrestricted access to the EU's single market. On Thursday July 5 the company’s chief executive Ralf Speth said that continued investment “would be in jeopardy should we be faced with the wrong outcome."
