Range Rover VOGUE 2013
 |
The new Rangie continues to use the same pair of V8s as the outgoing model, but the weight loss means acceleration is noticeably improved. The "base model" Range Rover utlizes a 5.0-liter V8 that produces 375 horsepower 375 lb-ft of torque. The Range Rover Supercharged ups the ante with a force-fed, 510 horsepower version of the same mill with 461 lb-ft of twist. Both engines come mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission.
Four-wheel-drive of course is standard, and an updated version of the company's Terrain Response off road traction control system is included. Unlike the smaller Range Rover Evoque, the big Range Rover still features a two-speed transfer case.
Luxury Inside
Like the exterior, the interior also doesn't necessarily move the Range Rover in an all-new direction. However, the upgrades are evident throughout, and they add up to a truly premium cabin.
The basic dashboard and center console are similar to the old Range Rover's, but a new center stack incorporates an updated version of the automaker's infotainment system. The center console, meanwhile, includes the "rises to the occasion" gear lever that first debuted under sister brand Jaguar's watch. The Range Rover's already prodigious rear seat legroom has been increased by a full 4.7 inches, Land Rover says.
An audio system developed by British firm Meridian is standard. Interior details include a choice of several real wood veneers sourced from sustainable forests and real brushed aluminum trims. Twin needle stitching keeps the leather panels looking suitably upmarket, while LED mood lighting sets the stage.
