However, its clean sheet design and revolutionary lightweight construction have enabled us to transform the experience for luxury vehicle customers, with a step change in comfort, refinement and handling.”

The 2014 Range Rover also features industry leading innovations such as the Land Rover’s Terrain Response system which analyses current driving conditions and automatically selects the most suitable settings for the terrain.
