CAPABILITY

HILL START ASSIST

  •     

    To aid the driver when pulling away on hills, Hill Start Assist retains brake force long enough for the drivers foot to move from the brake pedal to the throttle. This prevents the vehicle from moving and reduces driver workload. Hill Start Assist is engaged automatically, it does not need to be selected.

ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC)

  •    

    Functioning at very low speeds, between 1.8kph and 30kph, All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) helps the driver maintain a steady speed in challenging conditions so you can concentrate on steering and finding your way through obstacles. It also allows you to pull away smoothly, even on low-friction surfaces such as ice, snow or wet grass. See ATPC in action on the Range Rover Evoque Convertible.

HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC)

  •    

    Land Rover’s patented Hill Descent Control (HDC) is a standard feature on all 4WD Land Rover vehicles. It assists the driver with controlled descents of difficult slopes by maintaining a constant speed and applying braking separately to each wheel. The system works automatically to slow the vehicle and maintain the speed relative to the selected gear range and accelerator pedal position.

TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST (TSA)

  •    

    Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) monitors the vehicle stability sensors for disturbances caused by an unbalanced trailer. The vehicle system provides individual brake inputs to correct a potentially hazardous situation.

GRADIENT RELEASE CONTROL (GRC)

  •    

    Gradient Release Control® (GRC) progressively releases the brakes when moving away on an incline for maximum control. This system works in both forwards and reverse directions.

GRADIENT ACCELERATION CONTROL (GAC)

  •    

    Gradient Acceleration Control (GAC) has been developed to reduce the feeling of sudden acceleration as a vehicle enters a steep gradient, by pressurising the brake system, Gradient Acceleration Control slows the vehicle to a controlled speed when the vehicle is descending a slope in the driver's intended direction of travel. This feature helps reduce the feeling of increased speed to make descent feel more assured.

TERRAIN RESPONSE

  •    

    Terrain Response is a Land Rover developed system that adjusts your vehicle to engage the optimum settings for any given driving conditions, based on information provided by the driver. It optimises the vehicle’s engine, transmission, differentials and chassis systems to maximise driveability, comfort and traction no matter what the terrain. Just select the mode that suits the conditions: General Driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts and Sand. The vehicle always delivers a confident, assured drive.

TERRAIN RESPONSE 2

  •    

    By monitoring multiple vehicle sensors the Terrain Response 2 feature automatically adapts various vehicle settings in line with the prevailing conditions to achieve the best possible suspension, powertrain and slip control settings for the conditions. The Terrain Response 2 feature builds upon the original Terrain Response system by reducing driver workload and ensuring the vehicle always has the best possible setup for the terrain conditions. It is also possible for the driver to select a different vehicle setup if desired.

4 Wheel Drive (4WD)

  •    

    Land Rover utilises full time 4x4 systems which provide the greatest available torque to the wheels with the most grip. Land Rover 4x4 systems ensure optimum performance, both on and off road, whatever the surface or conditions.

TWIN SPEED LOW RANGE TRANSFER GEARBOX WITH CENTRE eDIFF

  •    

    A two-speed transfer case with permanent four-wheel drive and a 50:50 torque split. An electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the center differential distributes torque between the front and rear axles; up to 100 percent can be channeled to either axle in extreme conditions, electronic traction-control system further contributes to capability. The transfer case offers selectable low- and high-range, with shift on the move capability at up to 37 mph. Low-range ratio is 2.93:1, providing an extremely low crawl speed for off-road terrain or for towing heavy trailers.

SINGLE SPEED TRANSFER CASE WITH CENTRE TORSEN DIFFERENTIAL

  •    

    Mechanically controlled single speed transfer case with Torsen centre differential. 18kgs lighter than the twin speed transfer case, the single speed offers dynamic performance with a 42/58 percent front-rear torque split, which can range to a 78/22 percent torque split when conditions allow.

WADE SENSING

  •    

    Relaying information from sensors in the door mirrors, Wade Sensing™ informs the driver of the water depth with a visual display on the vehicle's touchscreen and an audible tone that increases as the depth rises. The driver can see both the current depth of the water along with how much deeper the car can safely wade; this proves particularly invaluable during poor visibility or when driving at night. See the wading capabilities of the Range Rover Evoque Convertible here.

LOW TRACTION LAUNCH

  •    

    Low Traction Launch automatically optimises the vehicle for smooth pullaway on low traction surfaces, such as wet grass, ice or snow. Activated from the vehicle’s touchscreen, Low Traction Launch changes throttle map to one which results in a very progressive torque response from the engine, this allows the driver to maximise available grip and minimises damage to the surface through precise application of torque to the wheels.

PERFORMANCE

DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)

  •    

    Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) monitors the vehicles wheel sensors at all times and will assist the driver to regain vehicle composure if a lack of grip or stability is detected. Dynamic Stability Control applies brake force to each or any of the wheels and will modulate engine output to maximise safety and control.

DYNAMIC RESPONSE

  •    

    Dynamic Response monitors the amount of body roll produced whilst driving on uneven roads. The feature is designed to dramatically reduce the amount of body lean during cornering also. Dynamic Response transforms vehicle handling and occupant comfort. If the system detects off-road conditions, the control module adapts the effect of the anti roll bar which allows greater wheel articulation increasing the contact patch between Tyres and Terrain, maximising off road capability and traction.

ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS

  •    

    The Adaptive Dynamics system monitors vehicle movements 500 times a second, reacting virtually instantaneously to give greater control and minimise body roll, providing a composed, flat ride. Adaptive Dynamics is a combination of intelligent sensors and continuously variable suspension dampers. The feature provides the optimum balance of ride comfort and stability control. The system will also sense off-road conditions, and optimise damping accordingly for a refined driving experience.

MAGNERIDE

  •    

    MagneRide™ monitors vehicle movements 500 times a second, reacting virtually instantaneously to give greater control and minimise body roll, providing a composed, flat ride. MagneRide™ is a combination of intelligent sensors and continuously variable suspension dampers containing magnetic particles. The feature provides the optimum balance of ride comfort and stability control. The system will also sense off-road conditions, and optimise damping accordingly for a refined driving experience.

EFFICIENT DRIVELINE

  •    

    An intelligent full-time four-wheel-drive system delivers outstanding performance and traction on all surfaces, and continuously varies the torque split front-to-rear. The system is electronically controlled, allowing it to respond to wheel slip and driver demands far faster than a mechanical coupling. This provides excellent off-road capability together with enhanced agility on the road.

ACTIVE DRIVELINE

  •    

    A revolutionary on-demand driveline technology, Active Driveline can intelligently switch between two- and four-wheel drive as conditions demand, combining both the fuel-saving benefits of two-wheel-drive with the all-terrain capability of four-wheel drive. Four-wheel-drive is continuously engaged to provide large reserves of traction from a standstill, but a clutch completely disconnects the four-wheel-drive hardware when there is no tractive requirement. Should the system detect wheel slip or a more dynamic driving style, four-wheel drive is re-engaged within 350 milliseconds. Two electronically controlled clutches located either side of the rear differential distribute torque to the wheel with most grip.This improves the on-road agility while the rear axle can be entirely "locked" for maximum traction in very slippery conditions. Active Driveline's transition from two- to four-wheel drive is seamless, but drivers can monitor its operation via a dedicated 4x4i screen on the touchscreen display.

ACTIVE REAR LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL

  •    

    By monitoring vehicle and terrain characteristics, the Active Rear Locking differential can be constantly adjusted through an computer controlled actuator mounted on the differential, ensuring power is transmitted to the wheels with most available grip. This provides improved cornering stability on road and refined traction, with limited wheelslip, off road.

TORQUE VECTORING (DIFF)

  •    

    The Torque Vectoring system when combined with the Dynamic Active Rear Locking Differential delivers responsive, controlled cornering and handling through even the tightest of bends. The electronic differential and vehicle’s brake system constantly balance the distribution of engine torque between the four wheels when cornering. The system is also active in off-road conditions using the relevant Terrain Response settings. It can be very effective in conditions such as sand, where it helps the vehicle turn in and avoid excessive understeer.

TORQUE VECTORING BY BRAKING

  •    

    This system enhances the vehicle’s agility and stability when cornering. It constantly monitors and balances the distribution of torque between all wheels to improve grip and steering whether on or off-road. The system can also increase the rate of turn and reduce understeer by applying the brake on the inside rear wheel, forcing more torque to the outer wheel, thereby aiding stability.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF)

  •    

    DEF, also known as AdBlue®, AUS 32 and ARLA 32, is a non-toxic, colourless, odourless and non-flammable fluid. Stored in a dedicated tank in your car, DEF is injected into the exhaust system to clean exhaust gases.

ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING (EPAS)

  •    

    Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) offers outstanding feedback, control and immediate power assistance. It is active on demand - saving power for when you really need it, as well as saving fuel. Allowing sophisticated computer management to adapt the levels of steering support, EPAS gives you fine control at speed and comprehensive assistance during slow manouevering.

ENGINE DRAG TORQUE CONTROL (EDC)

  •    

    EDC mitigates the chance of wheel lock-up caused by strong engine braking in slippery conditions. It acts by briefly increasing torque to the driven wheels as appropriate.

ECO MODE

  •    

    When activated, this standard feature prioritises the most efficient vehicle settings, including Automatic Transmission, Active Driveline, heating and air conditioning, to help minimise fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The ECO data provides the driver with the relevant information via the Touchscreen so more economic driving habits can be adapted.

INGENIUM ENGINES

  •    

    Land Rover’s state-of-the-art four-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine delivers impressive performance and refinement. The lightweight all-aluminium 2,0-litre engine has a 16-valve DOHC cylinder head, featuring variable cam timing on the exhaust side, and twin balancer shafts for enhanced refinement. 

COMFORT & CONVENIENCE

ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION (EAS)

  •    

    Four-corner air suspension optimises the vehicle’s articulation and ride height which optimises comfort, composure and capability. When stationary the air suspension maximises vehicle versatility by raising or lowering the vehicle height to refine customer ingress / egress. This is also useful for ease of loading luggage or similar items into the vehicle.

EXTENDED MODE

  •    

    If the vehicle detects that it is grounded, a temporary additonal clearance is provided to the air suspension system. Extended mode will be automatiically activated to raise the air suspension and provide greater ground clearance. Extended Mode is always available, it does not need to be selected.
    Only available with Electronic Air Suspension (EAS)

GESTURE TAILGATE

  •    

    Gesture Tailgate enables the driver to operate the tailgate from the kerbside, without needing to physically touch either the vehicle or the key fob. When the smart key is detected, the feature can be operated by a kicking gesture underneath the vehicle using sensors located on either side of the tailgate.

HEAD UP DISPLAY

  •    

    This option presents key vehicle data such as road speed, gear position and navigation instructions on the windscreen, without the need for the driver to take their eyes off the road.
