Overview
|
|
The 2012 Range Rover HSE is more luxurious and better equipped than ever before. The stunning interior is a result of expert craftsmanship coupled with the finest materials, from
the soft Blenheim leather on the heated front and rear seats,
to the Cambridge leather instrument panel top and the
heated leather steering wheel.
|
|
First developed for military duty, the G-Class is
an absolutely uncompromising off-roader that's been
turning mountains into molehills for over three decades.
Hand-assembled with a handcrafted interior, it also
boasts three locking differentials that make it capable
of conquering anything - particularly the mundane.

Safety
|
|
- Full length curtain side air bags, driver and passenger
airbag, driver knee airbag, front seat pelvic and thorax
airbags
- Patented Terrain Response® technology helps the driver
conquer gravel, grass, snow, rocks, and tarmac. By simply
choosing the appropriate icon on the conveniently positioned selector, the engine, transmission, suspension, and traction settings are instantly reconfigured for optimum driveability.
- This driving technology takes yet another step forward with Gradient Acceleration Control and Hill Start Assist. Gradient Acceleration Control helps prevent situations where the vehicle might accelerate too quickly on a steep gradient (and Hill
Descent Control has not been selected),
allowing the driver time to regain control. Hill Start Assist automatically releases brake pressure on a steep gradient
and helps prevent the
vehicle from inadvertently rolling backwards.
- Air suspension, standard on every Range Rover vehicle,
works with Terrain Response® to provide excellent handling,
comfort and capability.

Interior
|
|
- The renowned command driving position, first established by
Defender, is now a central feature of every Land Rover vehicle.
It gives greater visibility ahead and of the surrounding environment
as well as adding to the driver’s control and feeling of security.
- One glance at the new virtual instrument panel reveals the very
latest Thin Film Transistor (TFT)-LCD technology, a stunning
advance in the clarity of driver information. The new 12 inch
TFT-LCD virtual instrument panel uses the same technology
found in high-quality computer laptops and can be both
personalized and adapted to suit various driving conditions
or personal preference. During night-time driving, for instance,
the TFT-LCD virtual instrument panel's 'torchlight' setting
highlights only the essential information on the speedometer
and odometer. Additionally, when driving off-road, key
dynamic information is displayed in the center of the
TFT-LCD screen, complementing the main Touch-screen
display and providing valuable ‘at a glance’ vehicle status.
- 14-speaker, 740-watt, harmon/kardon LOGIC7 digital
surround sound system.
- The Hard Disk Drive (HDD)-based Satellite Navigation
system has been redesigned to make it easier and more
intuitive to use. Other enhancements include faster route
calculation, greater map coverage, and improved reliability.
HDD offers improved access, new graphics, and more data
storage capability. Navigation assistance includes off-road
guidance with waymarking and contour lines display, while
points of interest can easily be stored en route. HDD can
easily be updated by British Motor Car Distributors, Ltd.
- Rewarding sensation is created by the premium leather
steering wheel while the Noble finish to the steering wheel
spokes lends a touch of extra refinement. The optional
heated steering wheel adds further richness and comfort
for cold winter days.
