Interior Design and Special Features of Range Rover!

April 30, 2009 by JoelC2009 


Built for the bush but bought for bragging rights, Range Rovers are more likely to be found in Miami Beach than Mozambique. Acknowledging that reality, the 2009 Range Rover employs a unibody design and has a self-adjusting air suspension that monitors vehicle loads and road conditions. When driven on pavement, the Range Rover feels stable and comfortable, with good steering feel — a tribute to its BMW origins. In terms of off-road ability, it still has few equals, thanks to its generous ground clearance and wheel articulation.

The Range Rover is designed to cosset its well-healed owners in an opulent cabin as they ford streams and cross the highlands of the Upper Hebrides. The unique and handsomely rugged furnishings do plenty of cosseting when fording and crossing mall parking lots, too. Most materials are premium grade, and buyers have a wood choice of cherry or walnut and, on the Supercharged, “Grand Black Lacquer.” Sounds fancy. Soft leather swathes not only the supportive seats but also the dash and other interior surfaces. The layout is very button-heavy, though, and in fine British tradition, ergonomics can be as confusing as English royal history. The seating position is notably upright, but both front and rear passengers will find the accommodations supportive and roomy. Back benchers get their own power-adjustable headrests, airbags, seat heaters and climate controls (rear dual zone is optional, too). The Range Rover boasts 74 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity, which is a bit less than what’s offered by some competing vehicles.

The 2009 Range Rover HSE is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 with 305 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The Supercharged gets a 4.2-liter V8 that’s (surprise!) supercharged to produce 400 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission with manual


shift control is standard with both engines. A permanent four-wheel-drive system is standard on all Range Rovers, along with low-range gearing and nearly 11 inches of maximum ground clearance. The standard Terrain Response system allows the driver to customize powertrain, suspension and electronic stability and traction systems to best handle five predetermined off-road conditions. Maximum towing capacity when properly equipped is 7,700 pounds. Both the HSE and the Supercharged return an EPA estimated 12 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined.

    Filed under: SUV, Government/Legal, Recalls, Safety, Lexus, Toyota, Luxury 2010 Lexus GX460 – Click above for high-res image gallery That was fast. Just two days after Consumer Reports issued a Do not Buy rating on the new Lexus GX 460 upon finding that it was possible to defeat the standard electronic stability control and initiate a potentially dangerous mid-corner tail-out drift of the big SUV, Toyota reportedly has a fix for the issue. According to Japan’s Nikkei daily, Toyota’s solution to the GX’s handling woes involves a reflash of the vehicle’s electronic brain along with unspecified changes to “other aspects of the vehicle.” Not particularly descriptive, but perhaps that shouldn’t come as a surprise considering how complicated of an issue such handling foibles can be. In related news, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is just now beginning its own investigation into the 2010 Lexus GX 460. NHTSA has procured the GX that Consumer Reports had been testing and is…

    I believe they were invited to become members because Nelson Mandela is married to the former Presidents widow. Mozambique is a bit internationally isolated and the Queen thought it would be a good idea. Mozambique will be benefit from aid payments and the Queen will get more prestige, she is still regarded as the "Mother of all peoples" in some parts of Africa at a time the Commonwealth and the Royal Family don't mean much. It is important for her ego to feel loved/ have a role, rather than just being an old lady on postage stamps.
