Land Rover is working on an electric Range Rover and it appears the model will be joined by a facelifted version of the regular SUV. A prototype was recently spied near the Arctic Circle and it should help to keep the fifth-generation Range Rover fresh for years to come.
Dressed in black and white camouflage, the model is instantly recognizable but will apparently adopt a revised grille and new headlights. The lower intake will also be revamped, but this appears to be more evolution than revolution.

There doesn’t appear to be any other changes at this point, but the production model could have updated taillights and a revised rear bumper. We also wouldn’t be surprised to see some other minor tweaks such as updated wheels and revamped front door garnish.

Spy photographers didn’t get a good look inside, but said the cabin was completely camouflaged. This suggests updates are inbound, although their extent remains to be seen. However, at the very least, we can expect an updated infotainment system and improved driver assistance technology.
Powertrain updates are possible, although there’s no word on specifics at this point. That being said, the current model offers an assortment of engines including a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 395 hp (295 kW / 400 PS) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque.
Customers can also get a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 pumping out 523 hp (390 kW / 530 PS) and 553 lb-ft (749 Nm). There’s also a plug-in hybrid with 543 hp (405 kW / 550 PS) as well as an electric-only range of 50 miles (80 km).
These will be joined by the aforementioned Range Rover Electric, which has a 117 kWh battery pack as well as a dual-motor all-wheel drive system that reportedly produces a combined output of 542 hp (404 kW / 550 PS) and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm) of torque.
