Introduction
The five-passenger Range Rover is available in two trim levels: HSE and Supercharged. The HSE is powered by a 375-hp 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine, while the Supercharged trim boasts a 510-hp 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Both powerplants feature direct fuel injection and are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with CommandShift manual mode; full-time four-wheel drive with Land Rover's acclaimed "Terrain Response" system and an electronic air suspension help tackle a wide range of off-road conditions. Standard equipment on HSE trims includes a power sunroof, 19-inch aluminum wheels, bi-xenon headlights, LED tail lamps, heated leather seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, hard drive-based navigation system, satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a portable audio interface with USB and iPod integration. Supercharged trims are further outfitted with 20-inch wheels, cooled front seats and upgraded interior trim elements. Safety features include seven airbags, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, electronic stability control with traction control and roll mitigation, front and rear park assist and tire pressure monitoring. Adaptive front lighting, automatic high beam assist, blind spot monitoring and a surround camera system are also available. The Land Rover Range Rover carries over with minor changes for 2012. New standard equipment includes HD radio, while the exterior gets refreshed with body-colored door handles, along with a gloss black treatment for the headlamp/tail lamp back plates and grille surround. Additionally, a Towing Preparation package is now offered, featuring a cross member with receiver, full-size spare and variable rear differential lock, as well as a new Silver Pack.
