Whitley, UK, November 5, 2014 - Land Rover has announced a comprehensive series of updates for the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, further enhancing the world's best luxury and premium sporting SUVs.
The revisions include Land Rover's innovative All-Terrain Progress Control system, a world-first technology which complements and further improves the Range Rover's already class-leading off-road capability. Significant gains in both performance and efficiency are achieved through enhanced six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. For added convenience, Head-Up Display (HUD)\*, projects key driving information onto a small area of the windscreen, while two eye-catching new paint colours update the exterior colour palette.
'Range Rover and Range Rover Sport offer an unrivalled combination of performance, efficiency, design leadership and off-road capability,' says
Phil Popham, Group Marketing Director, Jaguar Land Rover.
'Our latest updates capitalise on these strengths, with our ground-breaking new All
Terrain Progress Control, along with extra-efficient six-cylinder engines, which
underline Land Rover's commitment to sustainability.'
\*From March 2015 Production
All-Terrain Progress Control for peerless off-road capability
Class-leading off-road capability stands at the core of every Land Rover. Now All-
Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) is being introduced to further complement the
Range Rover and Range Rover Sport's highly accomplished four-wheel-drive
chassis.
ATPC allows the driver to input a desired speed, either from rest or an existing
speed, without any pedal inputs once the brake is released. The system continuously
monitors and adjusts the vehicle settings to optimise traction and maintain progress
in all conditions.
ATPC reduces driver workload to enhance Range Rover's world-renowned off road
capability, maintaining composure over steep gradients, rough terrain and low-grip
surfaces. It is particularly beneficial in challenging off road environments where a
very low constant speed is desirable. ATPC works both in forward and reverse gears
and is operational from 1mph to 19mph (1.8km/h to 30km/h).
Available on SDV6, SCV6 and V8 Supercharged derivatives\*, Range Rover and
Range Rover Sport are the first models to feature this new technology.

Cleaner engines, increased performance
The impressive performance and fuel economy of Land Rover's 3.0-litre six-cylinder
engines has been enhanced still further. Previously equipped with twin-turbocharging
technology, TDV6 derivatives now adopt a ball-bearing single turbocharger. Along
with Low Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (LPEGR), a two-stage oil pump that
reduces parasitic engine losses and a revised design of fuel-injector nozzle, the
TDV6 continues to produce 190kW and 600Nm. Fuel efficiency, however,
significantly increases: Range Rover TDV6 improves by an impressive 8.5%, while
Range Rover Sport TDV6 improves by 5.7%.
Range Rover Sport SDV6 derivatives retain parallel-sequential turbocharging, but
detail calibration changes increase performance to 225kW and 700Nm, increases of
10kW and 100Nm respectively. LPEGR, a two-stage oil pump and revised fuelinjector
nozzles also increase fuel efficiency. The result is a pronounced 7.0%
improvement at 7.0 litres per 100km and 185g/km.
Fitted with a 3.0-litre V6 supercharged engine, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport
SCV6 derivatives continue to deliver 250kW and 450Nm, while fuel efficiency
improves by 1.9%. A new thermostat allows the all-alloy engine to reach its ideal
operating temperature far faster, while laser-drilled injectors ensure a finely optimised
spray of fuel directly enters the combustion chambers; elsewhere, revised camshaft
chain guides, a two-stage oil pump, a new diamond-like coating for the piston and
gudgeon pin, and lower viscosity oil all combine to reduce friction and improve
efficiency.
Head-Up Display
Head-Up Display (HUD)\* debuts on Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, projecting
key information onto the windscreen. It allows drivers to view relevant information
more quickly without glancing away from the road.
HUD data includes vehicle speed, gear position and shift indicator, cruise-control
information and satellite-navigation instructions. For maximum convenience, the
driver can pre-select which information is displayed.
\*From March 2015 Production
Increased personalisation options
Both Range Rover derivatives are now available with an updated colour palette
featuring the striking Yulong White. Range Rover Sport is also offered in eyecatching
Kaikoura Stone.
