The Range Rover M.Y. 2007 will debut on the market at the end of this year, with news both on the engine and on the equipment front.

The biggest novelty is the disappearance of the BMW-heritage 3.0 V6 turbo-diesel engine with 208 hp, replaced by the new V8 turbo-diesel engine developed by Ford Group, with a 3.6 liters capacity. It outputs 272 ps and has 640 Nm of torque.

There’s a big improvement in performance: from 0-100 km/h it takes only 8.5 seconds (compared to 12.7 for the TDv6), top speed goes from 194 to 200 km/h (electronically limited), while fuel consumption is, according to Land Rover, surprisingly unvaried. The engine is coupled to a six-speed automatic gearbox, while braking is supplied by the same oversized Brembo system as the Supercharged Range.

Another novelty is the “Terrain Response” system, that integrates control of the suspensions, torque and the hill descent speed, with 5 different settings for on and off-road driving. The interior will feature a new, more luxurious dashboard, the disappearance of the handbrake lever (now operated electrically by a push-button) and new sound-proof windows (-6 dB).
