- Enhanced eight-speed transmissions on diesel SDV8 and petrol SCV6 derivatives
- Uprated SDV8 with additional 40Nm for effortless overtaking
- Increased personalisation options, including exterior colours, alloy wheels, panoramic roof and interior
colourways
Land Rover is introducing a comprehensive suite of updates Range Rover and Range Rover Sport for 2015 model year,
reaffirming their status as the world’s best luxury and premium sporting SUVs, admired for their breadth of capability,
both on- and off-road.
"As the world’s best luxury and premium sporting SUVs, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport have long offered an
unrivalled combination of performance, luxury and off-road capability," says Phil Popham, Group Marketing Director,
Jaguar Land Rover. "These latest updates ensure both vehicles maintain their market-leading positions, with a special
focus on performance, efficiency and increased personalisation options."
Clean engines and even greater performance
The potent SDV8 now produces 250kW and 740Nm – a 40Nm increase – with a fuller torque curve from 1,700 to 3,300rpm
thanks to detailed calibration changes. This improves in-gear acceleration by up to 6.5% from fifth to eighth gear,
ensuring effortless overtaking ability and enhanced towing capability. The ZF 8HP70 8-speed automatic gearbox has been
re-engineered with a revised torque converter incorporating a twin-spring damper. Despite such a large increase in
torque, the SDV8’s fuel economy rating and CO2 emissions remain unchanged at 8.7l/100km on the combined cycle and
229g/km CO2.
Derivatives using the 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine continue to offer a potent 250kW and 450Nm, but a new ZF 8HP45
8-speed automatic transmission saves 6kg, improves gearbox efficiency and ensures full compliance with new emissions
requirements
Distinctive new features and additional convenience for Range Rover and Range Rover Sport
Updated puddle lamps now project each vehicle’s silhouette onto the ground at night to light the way for occupants.
Fixed panoramic roofs with power blinds are now available and bring an additional sense of space and light to both
vehicles’ luxurious interiors.
Meanwhile, 19-inch alloy wheels with a Satin Dark Grey finish introduce an option for buyers wishing to use smaller
wheels in global markets where conditions and surfaces may prove more challenging.

Increased personalisation options for Range Rover derivatives
An updated colour palette features Aruba silver and Kaikoura Stone, and long-wheelbase derivatives can be specified
with a sophisticated 22-inch alloy wheel for the first time.
Inside, an Intelligent Cargo Mode senses if the 2nd row seats are about to make contact with the front seats when
folded down to increase luggage capacity, and automatically moves the front seats forwards. Once the rear seats have
folded flat, the front seats are returned as close as possible to their original position.
Luxurious Autobiography Black Long Wheelbase can now be specified in Australia, and is available with an exclusive new
Lunar/Cirrus interior colour combination. Autobiography Black signature details include unique Santorini Black and Bright
Chrome exterior trim, LED tail lamps, unique 21- and 22-inch alloys, new seat designs with Semi-Aniline leather,
customer-configurable mood lighting, and additional swathes of leather.
Autobiography Black in Australia offers supreme comfort and added functionality with the Executive Class package,
which offers two individual fully adjustable seats and a re-designed extended centre console with electrically deployable
leather tables, integrated USB charging sockets, enhanced stowage and bespoke lighting. The console includes a cooler
compartment and bottle chiller plus electrically deployable tables that can be specified with a leather top or one of the
fine veneers selectable on Autobiography Black.
It delivers higher levels of luxury with unique design finishes, precision leather detailing and new features to give
this vehicle specification a distinctive and different character both inside and out.
Even more choice for Range Rover Sport customers
The Range Rover Sport’s exterior colour palette has been updated for 2015 to include the distinctive new Aruba silver,
and the roof and door sills can now be finished in body colour or contrasting black.
