ENHANCED PERFORMANCE AND INCREASED PERSONALISATION OPTIONS FOR 2015 MODEL YEAR

RANGE ROVER AND RANGE ROVER SPORT

Range Rover and Range Rover Sport continue to improve the customer experience by

offering an extensive selection of in-car technology, including Land Rover InControlTM

Uprated SDV8 with additional 40Nm for effortless overtaking; enhanced eight-speed

transmissions on diesel SDV8

Increased personalisation options, including exterior colours, alloy wheels, panoramic roof

and interior colourways

Whitley, UK, 15th July. Land Rover is introducing a comprehensive suite of updates to Range

Rover and Range Rover Sport for 2015 model year, reaffirming their status as the world’s best

luxury and premium sporting SUVs, unrivalled in their breadth of capability, both on- and off-

road.

‘As the world’s best luxury and premium sporting SUVs, the Range Rover and Range Rover

Sport have long offered an unrivalled combination of performance, luxury and off-road

capability,’ says Phil Popham, Group Marketing Director, Jaguar Land Rover. ‘These latest

updates ensure both vehicles maintain their market-leading positions, with a special focus on

performance, efficiency and increased personalisation options.’

Clean engines and even greater performance

The potent SDV8 now produces 339PS and 740Nm – a 40Nm increase – with a fuller torque

curve from 1700 to 3300rpm thanks to detailed calibration changes. This improves in-gear

acceleration by up to 6.5% from fifth to eighth gear, ensuring effortless overtaking ability and

enhanced towing capability. The ZF 8HP70 8-speed automatic gearbox has been re-

engineered with a revised torque converter incorporating a twin-spring damper. Despite such a

large increase in torque, the SDV8’s fuel economy and CO2 emissions remain unchanged at

32.5mpg and 229g/km CO2.

Distinctive new features and additional convenience for Range Rover and Range Rover

Sport

Updated puddle lamps now project each vehicle’s silhouette onto the ground at night to light

the way for occupants.

Fixed panoramic roofs with power blinds are now available and bring an additional sense of

space and light to both vehicles’ luxurious interiors. Meanwhile, for Range Rover, 19-inch alloy

wheels with a Satin Dark Grey finish introduce a stylish option for buyers wishing to use

smaller wheels where conditions and surfaces may prove more challenging.

Increased personalisation options for Range Rover derivatives

An updated colour palette features Aruba silver and Kaikoura Stone, and long-wheelbase

derivatives can be specified with a sophisticated 22-inch alloy wheel for the first time.

Inside, an Intelligent Cargo Mode senses if the rear seats are about to make contact with the

front seats when folded down to increase luggage capacity, and automatically moves the front

seats forwards. Once the rear seats have folded flat, the front seats are returned as close as

possible to their original position.

From August, UK customers will be able to order the Range Rover Autobiography Black Long

Wheel Base, an intensely design-focused response to our customers' desire for more choice

and exclusivity. It delivers higher levels of luxury with unique design finishes, precision leather

detailing and new features to give this vehicle specification a distinctive and subtly different

character both inside and out. Supreme comfort and added functionality are evident with the

Executive Class package, which offers two individual fully adjustable seats and a re-designed

extended centre console with electrically deployable leather tables, integrated USB charging

sockets, enhanced stowage and bespoke lighting.

The Autobiography Black available in long wheelbase only, is available with an exclusive new

Lunar/Cirrus interior colour combination. Autobiography Black signature details include unique

Santorini Black and Bright Chrome exterior trim, LED tail lamps, unique 21- and 22-inch alloys,

new seat designs with Semi-Aniline leather, customer-configurable mood lighting, and

additional swathes of leather.

Even more choice for Range Rover Sport customers

The Range Rover Sport’s exterior colour palette has been updated for 2015 to include the

distinctive new Aruba silver, and the roof and door sills can now be finished in body colour or

contrasting black.

Land Rover InControlTM technologies go even further

Land Rover InControl™ Remote and InControl Secure are now available on Range Rover and

Range Rover Sport derivatives as standard.

InControl Remote includes an integrated SOS Emergency Call, Optimised Land Rover

Assistance and a Smartphone App which enables you to connect remotely with your vehicle

wherever you are. InControl Secure tracks the vehicle should it be stolen.

InControl Apps and InControl Wi-Fi are new Land Rover InControl technologies which debut

on Range Rover and Range Rover Sport derivatives.

InControl Apps allows owners to sync smartphone apps to the vehicle’s touchscreen, and is

compatible with Apple and Android smartphones.

InControl Wi-Fi provides instant in-car access to a mobile hotspot which allows up to eight

devices to be used simultaneously. The system provides superior signal quality compared to

an independent smartphone hotspot using the customer’s existing data plan through a

duplicate sim card.

The 2015 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are available to order from 16th July.
