The Range Rover.

The finest most capable luxury four-wheel drive vehicle on-road in the world.

It offers sublime handling and comfort  courtesy of both air suspension and Land Rover’s unique Terrain Response® system. The acclaimed interlinked electronic air suspension is standard across the range and copes effortlessly with a wide variety of vehicle loads and works alongside Adaptive Dynamics. Additionally Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) provides enhanced handling when accelerating or cornering and includes compensation for the towing of trailers. It constantly monitors key indicators and apples the anti-lock Brakes (ABS) selectively to individual wheels, helping to correct deviations from the driver’s chosen line. 21st century technology that gives extra peace of mind.

Enhanced Understeer Control uses the Range Rover’s technologies to increase stability and help improve safety. The system recognises when the vehicle is travelling too fast to smooth negotiate a corner, by reducing engine torque and, if necessary, applying the brakes to the appropriate wheel.

Hydraulic Rear Brake Boost works when the rear axle is heavily loaded and the ABS is triggered on the front brakes only. It increases rear brake line pressure until the ABS activates. This ensures grip is maintained regardless of vehicle loading.

Trailer Stability Assist compensates for trailer oscillations employing engine torque reduction and/or braking to help re-establish control.

The Range Rover unsurpassed control and driveability. Terrain Response® works alongside Adaptive Dynamics. Adaptive Dynamics not only provides the best ever Range Rover experience over rough roads by fully using the vehicle’s long suspension travel to absorb potholes or ruts it also provides enhanced control at higher speeds while cornering or braking. Adaptive Dynamics takes the Range Rover’s ride and handling to a new level.

It works by predicting the response to driver input and monitors contact with the surface of the road  500 times a second, allowing the system to help mitigate any excessive movement, rather than a conventional system which reacts after the vehicle has already moved. From the extremely rough to the smoothest road this delivers significant off-road and on-road benefits.

Terrain Response® uses a finger tip control on the centre console (and grouped in a convenient cluster with the air suspension height control, Hill Descent Control(HDC) with Gradient Release Control (GRC) and the high/low gear ration selector ) to choose settings for different environments. 

Adaptive Dynamics predicts the response to the driver’s actions and helps ensure that all occupants are transported in the greatest possible comfort, and security regardless of the road surface and variations in conditions.

The Sand Launch Control system minimises wheel spin when moving off from a standstill and helps to prevent the vehicle from ‘grounding out’. Once the vehicle reaches the appropriate speed slip thresholds are  increased to maintain progress. 

Hill Descent Control (HDC) with Gradient Release (GRC) is designed to apply varied brake and accelerator pressure to help achieve acceleration gradually and more smoothly.

The Range Rover. The finest, most capable, luxury four-wheel drive vehicle off road in the world. With an unrivalled heritage, it is packed with 21st century technology that delivers the most outstanding all-round performance and incorporates more that 60 years of Land Rover expertise. Terrain Response® remains the benchmark for off-road vehicle systems.

As well as including Sand Launch Control, traction control while braking, enhanced traction during rock crawl and Hill Descent Control (HDC) with Gradient Release Control (GRC), this technology takes yet another step forward with Gradient Acceleration Control and Hill Start Assist. Acceleration Control prevents situations where the vehicle might ‘run away’ on a steep gradient (and Hill Descent Control has not been selected) allowing the driver time to regain control.  Hill Start Assist automatically releases brake pressure progressively on a steep gradient, helping to prevent the vehicle from inadvertently rolling backwards.

The Range Rover combines craftsmanship and luxurious internal dimensions that are complemented with an array of advanced technology features such as the availability of Touch-screen with optional dual view technology. This allows different images to be viewed simultaneously by driver and passenger. For instance, the passenger may watch DVD while the driver maintains normal vehicle navigation information. The Touch-screen with dual view technology is accommodated in the centre control panel. 

The Touch-screen with dual view technology uses 1,280 x 480 resolution, patented Parallax Barrier technology to display alternative columns of pixels to left and right-hand views allowing driver and passenger to see different images.

Satellite Navigation is based on a Hard Disc system that facilitates more prompt retrieval of information as well as increasing reliability and accuracy and offering data upgrades from a Land Rover dealership. Graphics and information are displayed clearly along with intuitive menus for ease of use.

Breakthrough technology appears in the form of the advanced Surround Camera System* which gives the driver five different views from points around the exterior of the vehicle.

Another cutting edge technology is the introduction of Tow Assist, a next-generation revising aid designed to predict the rearward trajectory of both vehicle and trailer.

*Surround Camera System is available as part of the Vision Assist Pack option.

The Range Rover has one of the most sophisticated arrays of safety aids ever built into a vehicle.  Its monocoque body and integrated chassis give, thanks to the high strength steel construction, class-leading torsional rigidity. There are seven airbags. For side impact protection there is one of the largest curtain airbags ever fitted to a passenger vehicle. There is permanent four-wheel drive with Dynamic Stability Control.

There is Hill Descent Control(HDC) with Gradient Release Control (GRC), which gives even greater control and confidence in demanding off-road conditions, And there is Blind Spot Monitoring* This System, utilises side-mounted radar to detect other vehicles that may be obscured in the driver’s blind spot. More technology. More safety systems.

The Range Rover.

Blind Spot Monitoring* uses side-mounted radar to warn of vehicles in the driver’s blind spot. A bright amber warning icon is illuminated in the appropriate door mirror when a hazard is identified.

Effortless  driving in demanding conditions. In addition to cruise control, which is fitted as standard, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is also available. The latest generation ACC system uses 12 beams to scan the road ahead ten times every second and provides earlier identification of vehicles moving into the path of the Range Rover. 

One of the most advanced systems on the market , it offers more progressive deceleration and resets more accurately. It is also better able to identify smaller road users, such as motorcycles, against larger vehicles and trucks.  Forward Alert and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) complement ACC and work together to help, in the first instance, avoid a collision by giving audible and visual alerts and then, should an impact become inevitable, triggering EBA and priming the vehicle braking system.

The adaptive cruise control system can be programmed to one of four settings of between a 10 and 22 second interval from the vehicle in front in normal driving conditions or when Grass, Snow is selected on the Terrain Response® system.
