On the centre tunnel, the SUV offers a much cleaner set of dials for the gearbox and four-wheel drive settings, which rise up when the car starts and sit flush when the car's stopped. This surely gives you a sense of real whiff of class and makes you believe that you're genuinely in something big.
The 2013 Range Rover also has a new Terrain Response 2 Auto system that is fully automatic and selects one mode the transmission needs to be in depending on the surface. This sets the SUV apart from other luxury models available in the market, as the system automatically adjusts the traction control, throttle response, and other settings based on the surface the vehicle is traveling over.
Features to aid drivers include:
* Electric Power Assisted Steering, which enables Park Assist
* Two-channel Dynamic Response active lean control, and Adaptive Dynamics with continuously variable damping
* Adaptive Cruise Control – with new Queue Assist feature that enables the system to operate at low speeds and down to a complete stop
* Intelligent Emergency Braking (including Advanced Emergency Brake Assist) – to help drivers avoid a collision if the traffic ahead slows quickly
* Reverse Traffic Detection – to warn drivers of potential collisions during reversing manoeuvres
* Blind Spot Monitoring – with new Closing Vehicle Sensing feature enables the system to detect vehicles which are closing quickly from a further distance behind
* Surround Camera System – with T Junction view, Trailer reverse park guidance, and Trailer hitch guidance
So if you're looking for a premium SUV with great off-road abilities, then the Range Rover is an obvious choice. The 2013 model will surely appeal to those users who are interested in technology and want more arresting styling with proportions that surpasses its predecessors. All the designing and improvements certainly shows that Range Rover is now more serious about stealing customers away from the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E- and S-Class, Audi A6 and A8, and BMW 5- and 7-Series. All in, the 2013 Range Rover looks to be loaded to the headliner (available in three different colors, natch) with equipment to easily conquer every conceivable environment, from the Desert of Katch to the roads of Ladakh.
