Range Rover
If someone asked you
to name the most complete, the most superbly
refined luxury sport utility vehicle in
the world, the chances are that without
even a moment’s thought you would
say, ‘The Range Rover.’ The
latest series of Range Rovers on the block
is a vast improvement on the old models
and are currently available in two specifications
– The Range Rover HSE and the Range
Rover Supercharged. The key difference
between the two models lies in the configuration
of the engine. Whereas the Range Rover
HSE supports a naturally aspirated 4.4L
305-hp V8 engine, the Range Rover Supercharged
comes with an engine that is Supercharged
4.2L 400-hp V8. |
Both the models offer the power enhancing,
new six-speed automatic transmission with CommandShift™.
There is an onboard rearview camera and a premium
touch screen navigation system with GPS satellite
technology and nine-language voice recognition.
Typifying their reputation as all terrain vehicles,
the Range Rover and Range Rover Supercharged
come outfitted with powerful Bi-Xenon headlights
that cast a wider beam of light for superior
nighttime visibility. An ingenious Adaptive
Front-lighting System automatically moves the
headlights—left, right, up or down—in
reaction to speed, pitch and steering angle.
You don’t have to worry about low pressure
or flat tires anymore once you become a proud
owner of a Range Rover. The continuously operating
Tire Pressure Monitoring System keeps check
on individual tire pressure and issues a warning
when the pressure in a tire falls 25% below
the specified limit. To allow maximum air intake
for engine cooling there is a one-piece diamond
mesh grille and also the distinctive side power
vents. The wider and thicker bumper design creates
a rather commanding presence for the vehicle,
and also offers safety against accidental bumps.
Included in the vehicle are the standard features
like 8-airbag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) and three-zone automatic climate control
with CFC-free air conditioning.
The Range Rover’s off road capabilities
get enhanced by incorporation of technologies
such as the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC),
Anti-lock Brake System, 4-wheel Electronic Traction
Control, and Hill Descent Control (HDC) system.
Passenger and driver safety is ensured through
a range of passive safety features, including
a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), ABS brakes
with Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) and Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC). Your entertainment
needs are taken care off by the presence of
a versatile rear-seat entertainment system with
DVD player and a 710-Watt, 14-speaker harman/kardon
LOGIC 7 audio system.
Price: Range Rover HSE: Starting at $75,750
Range Rover Supercharged: Starting at $90,750
