  • New little Range Rover optioned with 2WD

    I know there’s a business case for it, but to name something a Range Rover and give it a two-wheel drive system, just doesn’t seem right.  I’m sure adding a model to the full Land Rover line-up that could lower their average emissions is something they really need. 

    You can read more about it here:

    In the same vein, here are the latest spy shots of that new upcoming vehicle.  I am surprised how close they are keeping it to the concept.  While there’s definitely more to it, it looks like they just gave the concept real door handles & side view mirrors.  The Range Stormer had been shown after the Range Rover Sport was basically done, and maybe they’re doing the same thing here.  I’m more interested to see where the interior comes in – as I said before, I’m hoping for some cues as to what we’re going to see in the next Range Rover.

  • Range Rover Autobiography – US Options

    To close out the Range Rover Autobiography posts – here are some of the listed options for the US-spec – there aren’t many.

    We do see the:

    Seat Pack ‘Style 3’ – which is the full rear sear treatment, heated & cooled, reclining and the upgraded headrests for $2500.

    Climate Pack – Automatic four zone air conditioning, climate controlled windscreen and front side glass for $1000

    An option I couldn’t care less about: Half wood Leather steering wheel & Gearknob Pack for $1000.

    Surround Camera System (includes Tow Assist) for $800 – this one really should be standard on the Autobiography

    Audio System – LOGIC7® Hi-Fi (1,200 Watt 19 speakers surround sound harmon/kardon® system)  – they list no price on this one, but I don’t believe it was standard on the Autobiography – probably just a mistake on the website – they don’t always proof it so well.

    And finally – Audio System – Digital radio (HD) for $350.

  • Range Rover Autobiography – US Interior Wood Trim Options

    This isn’t really new info, but I felt it was worth posting this too.  The three new wood trim types are $2300/ea.  I’d like to see them in person.  The Burr Walnut has such a flat plastic look at times, I wonder how much better the glossier upgrades are.

  • Range Rover Autobiography – US Interior Color Options

    Here are the full color choice for the US-spec Range Rover Autobiography.  The “Designer’s choice” combination was made with Santorini Black.  And it appears that most duo tone options don’t cost extra.
