Model Lineup
Land Rover will offer two different models of the 2010 Range Rover: V8 HSE and V8 Supercharged. Both models have been significantly updated for the new model year with a smoother and more sculpted front end, new headlights, and lamps utilizing LED technology. A new front bumper features integrated fog lamps in the lower front air intake, and the side of the vehicle is fitted with the trademark 3-section fender vents. The rear of the Range Rover receives new LED light clusters.
The interior of all models introduces Land Rover’s new luxury-grade European leather trim for the headliner, pillar and door casings. The instrument panel buttons are plated with a satin-chrome finish, and the interior is now highlighted with “waterfall lighting.”
A new hard-drive navigation system provides faster route calculation, larger area map coverage, and improved reliability, according to Land Rover. An optional interface allows USB and MP3 connectivity, including a dedicated iPod cord (Land Rover boasts that the connection is designed to stay in place even during extreme driving conditions). The infotainment system utilizes the fiber optic Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) network to reduce the amount of wires, decrease complexity and save weight.
Major options on the 2010 Range Rover include a new Surround Camera offering a 360-degree view around the vehicle, a “Reverse Tow Assist” mode for the back-up camera that helps the driver perform accurate towing maneuvers, and high-beam assist technology that automatically switches the headlamps from low to high beam when external light levels are below a certain threshold (the system will automatically switch back to low beam when it detects oncoming traffic).
