Land Rover has announced a comprehensive series of updates for the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, for models made
from March 2015, further enhancing the world’s best luxury and premium sporting SUVs.
The revisions include Land Rover’s innovative All-Terrain Progress Control system, a world-first technology which
complements and further improves the Range Rover’s already class-leading off-road capability.
Significant gains in both performance and efficiency are achieved through enhanced six-cylinder petrol and diesel
engines. For added convenience, Head-Up Display (HUD), projects key driving information onto a small area of the
windscreen, while two eye-catching new paint colours update the exterior colour palette.
"Range Rover and Range Rover Sport offer an unrivalled combination of performance, efficiency, design leadership
and off-road capability," says Phil Popham, Group Marketing Director, Jaguar Land Rover.
"Our latest updates capitalise on these strengths, with our ground-breaking new All Terrain Progress Control, along
with extra-efficient six-cylinder engines, which underline Land Rover’s commitment to sustainability."

Class-leading off-road capability stands at the core of every Land Rover. Now All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) is
being introduced to further complement the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport’s highly accomplished four-wheel-drive
chassis.
ATPC allows the driver to input a desired speed, either from rest or an existing speed, without any pedal inputs once
the brake is released. The system continuously monitors and adjusts the vehicle settings to optimise traction and
maintain progress in all conditions.
ATPC reduces driver workload to enhance Range Rover’s world-renowned off road capability, maintaining composure over
steep gradients, rough terrain and low-grip surfaces. It is particularly beneficial in challenging off road environments
where a very low constant speed is desirable. ATPC works both in forward and reverse gears and is operational from
1.8km/h to 30km/h.
Available on SDV6, SCV6 and V8 Supercharged derivatives from March 2015 production, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport
are the first models to feature this new technology on specifically equipped variants.
Cleaner engines, increased performance
The impressive performance and fuel economy of Land Rover’s 3.0-litre six-cylinder engines has been enhanced still
further. Previously equipped with twin-turbocharging technology, TDV6 derivatives now adopt a ball-bearing single
turbocharger. Along with Low Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (LPEGR), a two-stage oil pump that reduces parasitic
engine losses and a revised design of fuel-injector nozzle, the TDV6 continues to produce 190kW and 600Nm. Fuel
efficiency, however, significantly increases: Range Rover TDV6 improves by an impressive 8.5%, while Range Rover Sport
TDV6 improves by 5.7%.
Range Rover Sport SDV6 derivatives retain parallel-sequential turbocharging, but detail calibration changes increase
performance to 225kW and 700Nm, increases of 10kW and 100Nm respectively. LPEGR, a two-stage oil pump and revised
fuel-injector nozzles also increase fuel efficiency. The result is a pronounced 7.0% improvement at 7.0 litres per 100km
and 185g/km.

Fitted with a 3.0-litre V6 supercharged engine, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SCV6 derivatives continue to deliver
250kW and 450Nm, while fuel efficiency improves by 1.9%. A new thermostat allows the all-alloy engine to reach its ideal
operating temperature far faster, while laser-drilled injectors ensure a finely optimised spray of fuel directly enters
the combustion chambers; elsewhere, revised camshaft chain guides, a two-stage oil pump, a new diamond-like coating for
the piston and gudgeon pin, and lower viscosity oil all combine to reduce friction and improve efficiency.
Head-Up Display
Head-Up Display (HUD) debuts on Range Rover and Range Rover Sport (from March 2015 production), projecting key
information onto the windscreen. It allows drivers to view relevant information more quickly without glancing away from
the road.
HUD data includes vehicle speed, gear position and shift indicator, cruise-control information and satellite
navigation instructions. For maximum convenience, the driver can pre-select which information is displayed.
Increased personalisation options
Both Range Rover derivatives are now available with an updated colour palette featuring the striking Yulong White.
Range Rover Sport is also offered in eye-catching Kaikoura Stone.
