NEW RANGE ROVER
“WE'RE NOT TRYING TO REINVENT IT,
BUT TO CONSTANTLY REFINE IT –
IT'S THE SAME RECIPE, BUT WITH
EVEN BETTER INGREDIENTS”
FINBAR MCFALL,
JAGUAR LAND ROVER PRODUCT MARKETING DIRECTOR
EXTERIOR DESIGN
New ideas subtly reflect the changes under
the skin. The hallmark clamshell bonnet is now
formed from a single piece of aluminium
together with a new grille and all-new front
and rear bumper designs. There are now four
of the famous ‘gills’ rather than three for a
finer look, as well as integrated exhaust pipes
in the rear bumper. A distinctive range of
colours and finishes are available, including
optional specifically formulated ultra metallic
and special effects pallette colours. You can
choose from two new colours: Rossello Red
and Byron Blue (as shown), as well as from
six new wheel designs.
TOUCH PRO DUO
The revised Range Rover now benefits from
the innovative new Touch Pro Duo system,
which made its debut on Range Rover Velar.
Two beautifully radiused, gloss-black capacitive
touch-screens control almost all the car’s major
functions, minimising switchgear and bringing
both simplicity and elegance to the cabin.
Behind those minimalist screens and floating
rotary controllers lies the refined work of Land
Rover’s 600 infotainment system engineers.
COMFORT
Open the door and you’ll notice that the front
seats are bigger and plusher, inspired by the
first-class seats on aircraft. Beneath the premium
leather upholstery, Range Rover’s seating experts
have developed new ‘comfort interlayers’:
sections of cushioning of different densities,
cleverly built up so that the seats are both soft
and supportive. For the first time, the Terrain
Response system has a default ‘comfort’ mode,
optimising every aspect of the car’s chassis and
powertrain for silken progress. New wellness
features include optional Cabin Air Ionisation to
ensure optimum cabin air quality. There's also
improved stowage for your important articles.
SEAT FUNCTIONALITY
The Rear Executive Seating option now offers an
extraordinary range of luxury features including
heated arm, calf and foot rest area, and a hotstone
massage system with a class-leading choice
of 25 different programmes. There’s even an app
which allows rear-seat passengers to control all
this from their smartphones or other devices while
reclined. With a touch of a button, that wide rear
central console retreats, revealing a fifth seat.
The rear seats can also be folded forwards to
maximise versatility and capacity.
PIXEL-LASER LED LIGHTING
All-round intelligent LED lighting is now standard.
Energy saving LED light is closer to the daylight
and marks a major advance in safety while also
reducing the strain of driving at night. The new
Pixel-Laser system is the ultimate option and
makes its Range Rover family debut here. This
sophisticated system divides the light beam into
a grid, both vertically and horizontally. It even
recognises vehicles ahead and deactivates
individual segments of the main beam to avoid
dazzling others, while maintaining maximum
illumination for the driver. The lights ‘bend’ into
corners, and illuminate kerbs at low speeds to
aid night-time manoeuvring. And over 80km/h
the lasers activate, producing over 0.5km of
near-daylight brightness.
