All 2007 Range Rover Vogues have revised cabins, to improve
storage space and further increase the premium ambience.
"Most of the changes are very practical, designed to enhance
day-to-day living with the vehicle," says Land Rover's design
director Geoff Upex, "with much improved stowage and better siting
of controls. The vehicle is now equipped with twin gloveboxes and
higher quality centre console storage and cupholders. The new
electronic park brake and off-set gearchange are better oriented
towards the driver.
"The facia is all new - to meet the latest safety standards - so
we've taken the opportunity to refine the highly regarded
architectural design theme, increasing both luxury and
craftsmanship. The new facia design also improves the renowned
Range Rover Vogue 'command view' driving position."
The smart new door casings feature more extensive use of wood.
Instruments have new graphics and the bezels now have a richer
alloy finish. The centre console switchgear has been redesigned to
improve both functionality and its tactile appeal.
The front seats are new too, and now offer the option of a
cooling function, as well as the standard heating feature. For an
even quieter interior, the Range Rover Vogue now gains acoustic
laminated windscreen glass, reducing transmitted exterior noise by
up to 6 dB.
An enhanced airbag strategy relocates the side airbags, formerly
in the doors, to the seats, to improve cushioning in the event of a
side impact. A driver's side inflatable knee bolster is also added
to all models, and the passenger front airbag has been
redesigned.
The air-conditioning system has been comprehensively revised, to
offer improved cooling, better airflow distribution, lower noise
and greater comfort levels. The new 9 kW evaporator (replacing a
7.8 kW version) enables 15 per cent more heat to be removed from
the cabin. In addition, new centre top vents help improve
ventilation for front-seat occupants, and lead to a significant
reduction in airflow noise at high fan speeds.
