Mumbai. November 2022.
The New Range Rover and
Range Rover Sport have both been awarded maximum five-star ratings in the
latest Euro NCAP safety tests. The luxury SUVs draw on more than 50 years of
expertise in delivering exceptional breadth of all-terrain capability, refinement
and safety.
The new models are the
latest in a long line of Range Rovers to gain a five-star rating under the
stringent Euro NCAP star rating safety protocols introduced in 2009, stretching
back to the Evoque in 2011.
Both models are based on
a new mixed-metal, flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture, which provides
solid foundations for a suite of state-of-the-art driver assistance
technologies to work in harmony for a responsive and refined drive. New Range
Rover, which is available with four-, five- and seven-seat configurations, is
up to 50 per cent stiffer than its predecessor while the Range Rover Sport is
35 per cent stiffer than before.
The award-winning New
Range Rover scored 87 per cent for Child Occupant Protection and 72 per cent
for Vulnerable Road Users, while the Range Rover Sport achieved an 85 per cent
rating for Adult Occupant Protection. Both SUVs obtained 82 per cent for Safety
Assist.
Thomas Mueller,
Executive Director Product Engineering, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “These excellent Euro NCAP results are a direct result of the
hard work and expertise that goes into designing, engineering and manufacturing
vehicles that have combined safety, capability and luxury for more than five
decades. Our strong, mixed metal MLA-Flex body architecture provides solid
foundations for a suite of cutting-edge active safety systems that combined,
work in harmony to protect occupants and other road users. These Range Rovers
are a technological triumph.”
