British luxury SUV manufacturer, Land Rover has announced a series of upgrades for the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The updates include All-Terrain Progress Control system and a world-first technology which enhances the Range Rover’s off-road capability. For comfort and convenience, the vehicle gets Head-Up Display that projects key information on a small area of windscvreen.
The All-Terrain Progress Control allows the driver to give required speed, either from rest or moving position, without any pedal function once brakes released. This system automatically monitors and optimizes traction and maintains progress in all conditions. It works both in forward and reverse gears and it is operational from 1.8kmph to 30kmph.
Speaking about the new updates, Phil Popham, Group Marketing Director, Jaguar Land Rover said, “Range Rover and Range Rover Sport offer an unrivalled combination of performance, efficiency, design leadership and off-road capability. 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.”
Land Rover’s 3.0-litre six-cylinder engines adopt a ball-bearing single turbocharger instead of the twin-turbocharging technology. The engine is capable of producing the same 258PS of power and 600Nm of torque. The fuel efficiency figures see an impressive increase of 8.5 per cent. The Range Rover Sport SDV6 derivatives retain parallel-sequential turbocharging. This engine now produces 306PS and 700Nm of top torque, which is an increase of 14PS and 100Nm respectively. The Head-Up Display data includes gear position and shift indicator, vehicle speed, cruise-control information, satellite-navigation and traffic sign recognition.
