2018 Range Rover Facelift Gets An Early Outing

The 2018 Range Rover has been revealed by a promotional video which recently surfaced on YouTube.

While the clip is low quality, it reveals the facelifted model has been equipped with a new front bumper and an updated grille that is flanked by restyled LED headlights.

Bigger changes occur in the cabin as the brand's flagship has a new digital instrument cluster and a revised center stack with a Touch Pro Duo infotainment system that features two touchscreen displays. Additional changes are limited but it appears the model will have revised switchgear and updated trim.

Engine options are largely expected to carryover but the model should gain a plug-in hybrid variant like the Range Rover Sport. Nothing is official but the model will likely have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor that work together to produce a combined maximum output of 404 PS (297 kW) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque. In the case of the Range Rover Sport PHEV, the powertrain enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds, hit a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h), and travel up to 31 miles (51 km) on electricity alone.
