− | + | Last spring, Land Rover introduced an all-new Range Rover. The 4.0 SE replaced the discontinued LWB as the marque's flagship. The new Range Rover 4.0 SE retains the command driving position, hood and front-end treatments, the large glass area and split tailgate of its predecessor, but rides on a new chassis and suspension. The new interior has more room for passengers and cargo. It also features plush levels of comfort. The engine is a 4.0-liter aluminum ohv V8, mated only to a 4-speed automatic transmission. |

Positioned at the high end of the compact sport/utility market, the Range Rover is designed to appeal to affluent buyers who demand luxury and style as well as uncompromised off-road capability. Major competitors include the Chevrolet and GMC Suburbans, Toyota Land Cruiser and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Joining the Range Rover 4.0 SE will be the Range Rover 4.6 HSE, a limited-production version featuring a 225-hp 4.6-liter aluminum ohv V8. The high-performance image will be enhanced with sporty low-profile tires, 18-in. alloy wheels and a leather interior. Both Range Rovers feature a sophisticated height-adjustable air suspension, electronic traction control, 4-wheel antilock brakes and a permanent 4-wheel-drive system. |
