Fourth generation Range Rover goes under the knife for a mid-life refresh.

The Range Rover that came to existence way back in 70s has gone from an all-conquering SUV to become something that can genuinely give luxury limousines a run for their money. However, the once thinly populated segment has seen a heavy influx of vehicles including some from brands that have traditionally steered clear of the luxury SUV space. The fourth generation Range Rover that came around in 2012 was due a refresh and Land Rover delivered one last year. That should help the luxury SUV hold its own in the face of new competition.

Changes to the exterior are subtle and are not instantly evident. The face gains an updated Graphite Atlas mesh grille flanked by new headlamps featuring a more angular LED signature. Land Rover is also offering optional Pixel-Laser LED lights made up of 144 LEDs and 4 laser diodes. As is the norm with facelifts, the Range Rover gets updated front and rear bumpers, a new set of alloys and a tweaked tail lamp cluster. It is large and imposing; particularly in the long wheelbase form we had for review which is 200mm longer than the regular model taking the overall length to 5.2m.
