The new fifth-generation Range Rover with unprecedented luxury and comfort, and breathtaking modernity and design, was unveiled by Indera Motors Sdn Bhd, the sole and authorised retailer of Land Rover vehicles in Brunei yesterday in a private preview event.

The fifth-generation luxury SUV takes Land Rover’s modernist design philosophy to the next level, with a contemporary interpretation of its trademark profile to create an incredible design statement.
The new Range Rover is defined by three lines that can trace their origins back through the generations: the falling roofline, strong waistline and rising sill line. These trademark features combined with a characteristically short front overhang and a distinctive new boat tail rear – complete with practical split tailgate – create an elegant profile that conveys Range Rover’s peerless presence.
The luxurious interior is underpinned by modern and intuitive technologies, designed to work harmoniously with the finest materials and well-being innovations to create a calm sanctuary for occupants – turning every trip into an experience to savour.
It incorporates Land Rover Design’s material strategy, which aims to redefine luxury materials within the automotive industry in accordance with customer values through the use of sustainable materials and bespoke finishes.
The luxury vehicle comes with innovation enhancing convenience, efficiency, refinement and safety.
Land Rover’s latest Electrical Vehicle Architecture (EVA 2.0) is the enabler-in-chief and includes Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) updates for more than 70 electronic modules, meaning the new Range Rover will constantly evolve, improve and remain up to date as it matures.
The award-winning Pivi Pro infotainment technology perfect match with the 13.1-inch curved, floating screen embodies the architectural lightness of the interior with a minimalist frame design, provides intuitive control of all the major vehicle functions, using the latest consumer technology to deliver a smartphone-inspired interface, allied to convenient hard switches for the climate control.
Meanwhile, passengers can enjoy a new Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system, which provides adjustable 11.4-inch HD touchscreens mounted on the rear of the front seatbacks.
They can be operated independently and support the connection of most devices with an HDMI port, while Wi-Fi hotspot capability means rear-seat passengers can enjoy smart TV entertainment on the move.
The eight-inch Rear Seat Touchscreen Controller10 mounted in the centre armrest of Executive Class Rear Seats provides quick and intuitive control for the perfect seating position, elevating the luxurious rear-seat experience.
The new Range Rover provides an electronically refined driving experience. The Electronic Air Suspension identifies and anticipates upcoming corners using map data, then automatically primes the vehicle to take even the sharpest bend in serene comfort.
The solid body structure is made from Mixed Metal Architecture to provide perfect foundation for new level of comfort and refinement as well as giving balancing weight, strength and stiffness.
