The New Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both received maximum five-star ratings in the most recent Euro NCAP safety tests. The luxury SUVs are built on more than 50 years of experience in delivering exceptional all-terrain capability, refinement, and safety.
The new models are the latest in a long line of Range Rovers to receive a five-star rating under the stringent Euro NCAP star rating safety protocols, which began in 2009 with the Evoque.
Both models are built on a new mixed-metal, flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture that serves as a solid foundation for a suite of cutting-edge driver assistance technologies to work in tandem for a responsive and refined drive. The new Range Rover, which comes in four-, five-, and seven-seat configurations, is up to 50% stiffer than its predecessor, while the Range Rover Sport is 35% stiffer.
The New Range Rover received an 87 percent rating for Child Occupant Protection and a 72 percent rating for Vulnerable Road Users, while the Range Rover Sport received an 85 percent rating for Adult Occupant Protection. Both SUVs received an 82 percent rating for Safety Assist.
“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,” said Thomas Mueller, Executive Director Product Engineering, Jaguar Land Rover. Our strong, mixed metal MLA-Flex body architecture serves as a solid foundation for a suite of cutting-edge active safety systems, including Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), which work in tandem to protect occupants and other road users. “These Range Rovers are technological marvels.”
The New Range Rover and Range Rover Sport share a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) designed to assist drivers and protect passengers, including:
Lane Keep Assist
monitors the road lane markings to detect an unintentional lane departure. If the vehicle is about to cross a lane boundary, a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel to counter the boundary-crossing movement.
Emergency Lane Keep Assist
helps to provide corrective steering inputs if it determines the vehicle is getting too close to road edges and is drifting towards an adjacent lane where oncoming vehicles are detected.
3D Surround Camera and ClearSight Ground View
the surround camera system provides a 3D, 360-degree view around the vehicle and can display several views simultaneously on the touchscreen display when manoeuvring – giving the driver detailed information about their surroundings. ClearSight Ground View allows drivers to see the hidden area directly ahead of, and beneath, the bonnet on the central touchscreen display.
Driver Condition Response
brings the vehicle to a halt and initiates the hazard warning lights if the driver fails to respond to a series of audio-visual prompts.
In addition to active safety features, both vehicles are equipped with Cabin Air Purification Pro1, a ground-breaking system that improves interior air quality. The PM2.5 filtration and NanoeTM-X technology not only help to significantly reduce odours, bacteria, and allergens, but it also improves wellness and alertness by monitoring CO2 levels inside and automatically introducing fresh external air as needed. Because high CO2 concentrations cause drowsiness, the system actively contributes to optimal driver alertness.
