THE new Range Rover goes on sale on February 15. Among the car's key features are all-new stiffer monocoque body with integrated chassis and all-round independent suspension with interconnected air springs.
Solihull's new star also has an advanced automatic transmission and transfer gearbox with a low-range Steptronic facility and the ability to shift from low to high ratio on the move. New 4.4-litre V8 petrol and 3.0-litre common rail six-cylinder turbodiesel engines mean better performance, lower emissions and improved fuel economy, while five-speed fully electronic automatic transmissions provide fully automated and Steptronic manual shifts.
The third-generation model has permanent four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer gearbox offering a low range of off-road use and a high range for normal driving.
