The Range Rover was all-new for 2013, debuting an aluminum unibody construction that reduced vehicle weight for improved strength, performance, agility and fuel efficiency.
For 2014, the Range Rover makes another leap in fuel efficiency with a new 340-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine replacing the previous 5.0-liter V8. As with the V8, the supercharged V6 is teamed to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The new powertrain yields comparable performance to the 2013 V8 model but with markedly better fuel economy, now 17 city/19 highway (23 combined) versus 14 city/16 highway (20 combined) for the 2013 model. An Intelligent Stop/Start system also helps reduce fuel consumption in certain driving situations.
The new-generation Range Rover uses 4-wheel independent suspension with air springs, featuring aluminum components and long wheel travel and articulation. Trailer towing capability is a substantial 7,716 pounds.
Advanced chassis technologies include the next-generation of Terrain Response. Coupled with the versatile full-time 4WD system with dual-range transfer case, the fully automatic Terrain Response is designed to analyze road conditions and automatically select the most effective vehicle settings for the 4WD, stability and traction control. Range Rover offers a maximum water wading depth of 35.4 inches, a 7.8-inch increase over the previous-generation model.
The interior showcases a modern character, incorporating distinctive Range Rover design cues with a contemporary treatment, rendered with fine leathers and veneers. The new-generation Range Rover features two primary high-resolution display screens -- a 12.3-inch display for the main instrument cluster, and an 8-inch touch-screen unit for infotainment and secondary functions.
