Images of Land Rover's fifth-generation Range Rover have leaked online ahead of its official unveiling.
Set to be launched on October 26, the 2022 Range Rover was teased by Jaguar Land Rover overnight, but was leaked over the internet shortly after – with in-the-metal photos backing up the expected, rendered design.
The renders were sourced from French publication 4x4 Magazine, showing off the Range Rover's revised front and rear ends, as well as its tweaked side profile – although its general shape remains close to the current, fourth-generation model.
The biggest change to the exterior is the inclusion of slimmer and taller tail-lights, now confined to the edges of the boot and rear three-quarter panel, rather than the L405's units which wrap slightly around the side.
Its interior has also undergone a redesign, now featuring a two-spoke steering wheel, a Pivi Pro infotainment system, digital dash plus and what looks to be a third row of seating – hinting at this being the Sport variant as it's the only Range Rover model which currently accommodates seven seats.
Underpinning the Range Rover will be JLR's MLA Flex platform, primed to include mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully-electric powertrains – although it's expected the vehicle will launch with the standard range of Ingenium petrol and diesel six-cylinder engines.
With its official reveal set to take place next week, the next-generation Range Rover is expected to launch globally next year, with Australian deliveries likely to start in the second half of 2022 – pending any further semiconductor delays.
