The flex part of the name refers to drivetrains. "Longitudinal" means the engine sits longwise, or front-to-rear, under the hood, as opposed to transverse engines fitted sideways between the front wheels in vehicles like the Range Rover Evoque.
MLA stands for modular longitudinal architecture. The new 2022 Range Rover is the first vehicle to use Rover’s MLA-Flex architecture. The rest of the world will motor on, in ever-increasing comfort and efficiency. We don’t number our laws, because, as a rule, journalists are awful at math, but for every vitriolic complaint, there’s an equal and opposite complainer. Now I’m bracing for a flood of letters insisting the influx of nouveau SUV-istas has destroyed the purity of off-roading purpose that made brands like Land Rover special.Ĭomme ci, comme ça.
My inbox overflows with notes from readers complaining that SUVs’ soaring popularity has driven sedans and coupes to the brink of extinction. To most owners, the big news about the new 2022 Range Rover has nothing to do with off-roading or electrification, though: It’s the addition of the SUV’s first three-row, seven-seat version. The key development goals were increasing the SUV’s refinement - particularly interior quiet, ride comfort, design and materials - and preparing this fifth generation of the Range Rover for its first electric model, a battery-powered SUV due for sale in 2024.
