2024 Range Rover Content, Pricing and Order Guide has arrived

First, thank you!

As we’ll see the House of Range Rover branding extends to the bulletins.  As with other documents like this, there are typos.  Don’t take everything as total truth.  I think they swapped some of the options list on the P530 SE and the P550 Autobiography.  Think logically if something seems wrong.

Bait & Switch? Land Rover USA posts new Active Noise Cancelling video – isn’t that system completely unavailable?

Bait & Switch?  I know there might be some level of noise cancellation but this video is featuring the headrests with internal speakers.  Isn’t that only available with the Meridian Signature Sound System?  Isn’t the all-new Range Rover Sport currently only available with the very-base Meridian Sound System?

From the original press release, May 10, 2022:

Powerful Meridian audio systems are available, and the Meridian Signature Sound System is the most advanced audio system ever fitted to a Range Rover Sport. It presents an enveloping sound experience using 29 speakers, a new subwoofer and up to 1,430W of amplifier power – including four headrest speakers that enable those travelling in the four main seats of the vehicle to experience personal sound zones.

From the Meridian documents, the Signature System showing the active headrests, marked as #9:

And now the standard, as in only, sound option on the all-new Range Rover Sport – no headrests indicated:

What’s New

Exterior
-Two new paint colors
  -Eiger Grey (replacing Corris Grey)
  -Portofino Blue (replacing Loire Blue)
-Black Pack Availability
  -032EI will now be available on Range Rover trim levels for the first time, previously Black Pack was only available for HSE & Supercharged models.
-The Black Pack is available with three choices of black wheel:
-029TN: 21” Style 9001, 9 spoke, Gloss Black
-031NY: 22” Style 9012, 9 spoke, Gloss Black
-031YM 22" Style 5004, 5 split-spoke, Gloss Black
-Please refer to page 20 for pricing for each derivative
-Badges
-From 2020 model year, similar to Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Sport all Range Rover derivatives (excluding SV products) will carry a trim level badge and a power output badge prefixed with P or D depending on the fuel type.
-For example: the existing 254hp TDV6 will be badged as the D260 along with the trim level badge.
-Supercharged models will now have “P525 HSE” on the rear tailgate of the vehicle.
-Shadow Walnut is now the standard fit trim finisher for Range Rover, HSE & Supercharged derivatives.

-Reductions to Option Complexity
-CD/DVD Player now linked to Rear Seat Entertainment
-Feedback from our retailers and customers has highlighted that there is an expectation that the RSE option should also include the CD/DVD player.
-Removal of 8” Rear Seat Entertainment
-This feature has been removed due to low take rates at 18MY and 19MY. The low take rate of 8” RSE is partially driven by improvements in the functionality of the 10.2” screens and 8” RSE not being available with Executive Class seats.
-The Entertainment pack has now been updated to include the 10.2” RSE rather than the 8” RSE.
-Removal of Gesture Sunblind
-Customer feedback was that this feature was rarely used and could be inadvertently activated by reaching to adjust the rear view mirror. Customer impact is minimal as the physical buttons that adjust the sunblind will remain,as will the auto open/close function when the engine is started and stopped.
-Autobiography Seating Choices
-300LZ is now available for Autobiography models, this offers customers the 24way front seat with the rear bench seat to give customers a viable alternative to Executive Rear Seating without degrading front seat comfort. As a result,the previous alternative seat, 300LY will no longer be available for ATB models.
-Smoker’s Pack
-Due to low take rates for the front smokers’ pack, we removed the fronts mokers’ pack option, leaving only the front and rear smokers’ pack.

Powertrain
New Ingenium 6 cylinder Engines in 355hp & 395hp outputs.
