01 — Terrain Response
Terrain Response Knob Returns
A dedicated rotary dial for selecting Terrain Response modes is returning to the center console, replacing the touchscreen-only selector used on the current model year.
01 / THE REFRESH
A Facelift, Not A Full Redesign
Prototypes testing ahead of the 2027 model year show a reworked front end — the real story is what's changed up front and inside the cabin, not a new platform.
Camouflaged test vehicles show a reworked front bumper with new air ducts and a slightly larger grille, along with redesigned LED headlight graphics. The rear and side profile show only minor changes from the current generation — this is a mid-cycle refresh of the existing fifth-generation Range Rover, not a ground-up replacement.
The bigger story for this model year is inside the cabin, where Land Rover is bringing back two physical controls it had moved to the touchscreen — and two new special editions are joining the top of the range. Both are covered in detail below.
What Isn't Changing
- The same 5th-generation platform and wheelbase options — Standard Wheelbase, Long Wheelbase, and Long Wheelbase Seven Seats all carry over.
- The core engine lineup carries over largely unchanged, including the P400, P460e plug-in hybrid, P530, and P615 powertrains.
- This is a facelift, confirmed by camouflaged prototype testing — not an official full redesign announcement from Land Rover.
02 / INTERIOR CONTROLS
Physical Controls Return To The Center Console
Two dedicated knobs are coming back after being moved into the touchscreen on a prior model year.
02 — Volume
Volume Knob Returns
A physical, tactile volume knob is also returning to the console. Climate control, however, is not reported to be returning to physical switchgear — that stays on the touchscreen. For drivers managing stop-and-go FDR Drive and West Side Highway traffic, a reach-and-twist knob is a faster adjustment than hunting through a touchscreen menu without taking your eyes off the road.
03 / NEW SPECIAL EDITIONS
Two New Trims Join The Range For 2027
SV Ultra sits at the top of the performance range; Westminster is a design-led special edition rather than a performance model.
01 — SV Ultra
Range Rover SV Ultra
The new flagship of the SV program, offered by invitation only. It pairs the 606-hp P615 V8 with bespoke finishes — including an iridescent Titan Silver paint option and laser-crafted two-tone interior upholstery — that sit above the standard SV trim. Invitation-only availability is the kind of distinction that matters most in a dense, highly cross-shopped market like Manhattan's five boroughs, where buyers comparing the top of every luxury SUV lineup are looking for exactly this level of exclusivity.

02 — Westminster
Range Rover Westminster Edition
A design-themed special edition inspired by London, open to any buyer. It adds distinct exterior color options and cabin details, including an illuminated metal door-sill script and a dark birch veneer with a signature inlay pattern.

04 / THE LINEUP
What Else Is Available This Model Year
For completeness: the 2027 model year also sees a Range Rover Electric variant join the lineup.
A fully electric Range Rover Electric is confirmed to be joining the model-year lineup alongside the existing gas and plug-in hybrid engines — noted here for completeness, not as a reason to choose one powertrain over another.
