"The Range Rover Vogue 10MY is a considerable step forward
for what is already regarded as the one of the world's most
complete luxury vehicles. New engines deliver formidable power,
efficiency and customary Range Rover Vogue refinement, and new
technologies, such as the dual view screen, deliver a world first.
Like its legendary predecessors, the Range Rover Vogue 10MY is
setting the pace once more," says Phil Popham, Land Rover
Managing Director.
The interior benefits from more luxurious materials and finishes
which add further refinements to the premium cabin ambiance. More
significantly, the Range Rover Vogue 10MY uses some revolutionary
new interior technologies which enhance the experience for driver
and passengers alike.
The vehicle is the first to feature 'dual view' infotainment
touch screen technology which allows the driver and passenger to
view different images simultaneously. This means that the passenger
can enjoy a DVD movie while the driver follows navigation
instructions, all on the same screen.
Another dramatic innovation is found in the instrument cluster.
Here, traditional physical instruments are replaced by a fully
configurable 12" TFT screen which presents all essential driver
information via cleverly designed 'virtual' dials and graphical
displays.
"The new display technology used by the Range Rover Vogue
10MY is a major advance. It gives us tremendous flexibility in
presenting information, so that the driver gets precisely the data
they require, in all driving conditions. Meanwhile, the passenger
can be relaxing with a movie!" explains Nick Rogers, Chief
Engineer, New Vehicle Architecture.
The vehicle incorporates state-of-the-art Adaptive Dynamics
technology to further improve the Range Rover Vogue's peerless ride
quality. All-terrain performance is also enhanced by updates to the
Terrain Response and Stability Control systems.
To complete the package, the Range Rover Vogue 10MY benefits
from a series of enhanced active safety aids including Adaptive
Cruise Control, Emergency Brake Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring,
Automatic High Beam Assist (AHBA) and a surround camera system.
"The Range Rover Vogue remains the consummate luxury 4x4.
Its combination of unrivalled all-terrain performance with the
ultimate in comfort and refinement, remains a clear industry
benchmark," says Phil Popham, Land Rover managing
director.
Under the banner of e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES, Land Rover is
implementing a range of measures to reduce fuel consumption and CO2
emissions, without compromising Range Rover Vogue's refinement or
renowned all-terrain capabilities. Both of the new direct injection
petrol engines were designed from the outset to deliver
class-leading fuel economy and improved low-end torque.
e-TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES in summary:
- Engine calibration optimized
- Reduced torque-converter slip
- Higher torque, allowing longer gearing
- Intelligent Power System Management (IPSM) including smart
regenerative charging
- Improved aerodynamics
The Range Rover Vogue 10MY will go on sale in Australian late
4th quarter 2009, with pricing, specification and model line up,
still to be confirmed.
