17MY Range Rover Sport / L494
17MY Discovery / L462

This update includes the following enhancements to InControl Touch Pro:

Improvements to the system. This is to address concerns relating to the touch screen being blank following a vehicle restart after an immediate shutdown.

Improvements to the camera system. This is to resolve concerns relating to the message ‘Camera system not available, consult your Dealer’ displaying when reverse gear is selected.

Improvements to Bluetooth phone call handling. This is to address concerns relating to Bluetooth audio sound not muting or lowering when receiving phone calls, and the navigation guidance overriding the phone call audio.

Improvements to voice commands. This is to address concerns relating to the feedback accent not being heard when using voice commands, and the selection of phone categories when using voice commands in Spanish.

Improvements to the navigation system. This is to address concerns relating to the navigation guidance continuing after reaching the destination, and the navigation system forgetting the destination and returning to the default screen. This will also address concerns where the navigation icon is displayed but not usable (Japanese vehicles only).

Improvements to media handling. This is to resolve concerns relating to the user being unable to switch the audio source, and the tune scan displaying indefinitely (SDARS only).

InControl Touch Pro Duo shown in recent Official LR Sunshade Install Guide

The install guide (creation date 8/8/17) for the Sunshade (Part No. VPLGS0487) uses an interesting version of the Range Rover interior…

The red arrows point to the updated steering wheel controls and the flush mounted touchscreen, along with the lack of physical buttons on the lower InControl Touch Pro Duo screen.  All very similar to the InControl Touch Pro Duo system in the all-new Range Rover Velar.

Did Land Rover tech site confirm 2.0L Ingenium Petrol Hybrid for 2018 Range Rover?

l405-my18-hybrid

Found some interesting changes for the MY18 Range Rover while browsing around on TOPIx today.  We knew they’ve been testing them but still don’t know all the details.  Still showing the existing 3.0L V6 Diesel and 5.0L V8 Supercharged options, they’ve removed the V6 Petrol and added in the 2.0L AJ200P Ingenium Petrol engine suffixed as a Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle(PHEV).  Transmission also gets a new name.  Range Rover Sport also got the PHEV option and it continues to show the 3.0L V6 Petrol as an option(see below).

The previous Hybrid available in the UK was diesel based and did not use the same moniker for the transmission.

A 4-cylinder Range Rover.  Can’t wait to see the numbers, I bet it’s going to be impressive.  And this MY18 refresh is going to be a big one.

UPDATE: Further still, another little bit of info was right there too:

The CDA suffix for the 5.0L V8 – CDA is Cylinder Deactivation.
