Design
Significantly updated, all variants of the 2010 Land Rover LR4 share new exterior styling with LED position lamps around the main headlamps, and new LED stop, tail, and indicator lights. The front bumper has also been revised to allow more cooling to the more powerful engine (resulting in aerodynamic changes that reduce drag and improve economy, Land Rover says).
The interior of the LR4 has been completely redesigned with smooth flowing surfaces and a simplified instrument panel. It utilizes a “thin film transistor” (TFT) driver information LCD screen that replaces the traditional round gauges with electronic images. The new center console is canted towards the driver to improve visibility and access to the various controls. The redesigned steering wheel features revised switch layouts for driving information, audio, cruise control, and steering wheel heat.
New passenger seating has been introduced in all rows of the LR4, offering extended seat cushions for additional support and comfort. The cabin trim has also been upgraded with a choice of natural-finish woods and high-quality leathers in contrasting colors to complement each other. White LED ambient lighting surrounds the interior door handles and pockets while subtle “mood lighting” blankets the interior at night.
Model Lineup
While specific models have not yet been announced, it is expected that the 2010 Land Rover LR4 will offer a base model and several significant option packages (HSE, HSE Luxury, Cold Climate, Seven Seat Comfort, etc…). Announced options include an available surround camera system offering a near 360-degree view outside the vehicle, automatic high beam assist that electronically increases or dims the headlamps based on outside ambient light or oncoming traffic, and an upgraded navigation system that features a new easy-to-use menu structure.
