Exterior changes for this one are good, still too much plastic for my tastes.

The wheels they showed are labeled in the brochure as: 20-Inch 5-Spoke Alloys Diamond Turned Finish ‘Style 7’ – they looked awesome; I don’t think the pictures do them justice.

Interior updates are amazing – it’s a completely different vehicle and really takes care of some of my biggest complaints with the RRS. And with the wood trim shown in the brochure, it really fits more with The Range Rover interior cues. The door panels are great on both this and the LR4, really improved switchgear.

The leather on the steering wheel for both this and the LR4 has a really great feel, I think I like it better then The Range Rover.

Although we didn’t see it, there are going to be new leather options for the RRS – Extended Leather Package and Alacantara options.

The RRS now gets paddles behind the steering wheel for shifting with the Left-Down Right-Up arrangement. From the brochure, it’s standard on the Supercharged models and an option otherwise.

It also gets the new Dynamic Program “to increase the driver’s sense of connection with the road surface”. This is selected with the Terrain Response knob spun all the way to the left. From the brochure, it’s standard on the Supercharged models and an option otherwise. I can’t believe I didn’t actually take a clear picture of the new Terrain Response knob addition.

New 12.3” TFT virtual instrument panel is going to be very cool, but there was no backlight on the one we saw so it was just a big black screen

Navigation is Hard Drive based – they also mention an Auto upload unit in the brochure, so I assume that may be related with USB, iPod or Audio jack connectors.

The new Adaptive Dynamics was described to me as the RR predicting the potholes/bumps and smoothing them out. Along with firming up the suspension for spirited driving when detected. They used a cat analogy at one point. And in the brochure, this is listed a new Option for 2010.

The previously mentioned leather headliner, is leather, not suede and looks like it’s only available with the Autobiography option.

The 360 degree cameras look to also be very cool, along with the regular rear cam, there is one built into the rearview mirror and each side view mirror as well, all used for the Blind Spot monitoring option. The Range Rover Sport lists two cameras also in the front bumper, which I assume The Range Rover gets too, but it wasn’t listed explicitly.

The new front grille and lights do look good, and it is a obvious change from any previous model. The horizontal bar between the fog lights is a nice touch.

And one final little touch, they shrunk the GPS antennae.

Well the biggest news is the re-branding of the vehicle. And I know they did a lot to improve it, but it’s still an LR3 to me. And with the two bar grille design, that bottom third bar just seems to be missing.

Interior again, like the RRS, very well done and so far ahead of the current models – again door panels look really up market from previous models.

Exterior changes are also good overall with the new headlights, no more plastic wheel arches, new air vent design.
