First of many little bits that need polishing – why no degree symbol next to the temperatures? Why just floating numbers? Maybe they rationalize it because the hard controls don’t show the degree symbol? But then they use it just below for the outside temp and then use it again on the InControl Touch Pro Weather app.
Finally that 12.3" screen put to some creative use – the 2017 Range Rover updates include four new themes for the gauges:
Chronometer:
Precision:
Graphic:
Minimal:
And a shot of the little animation that happens when various info appears on gauge cluster:

Updated (1/23/17) – Here are some official examples of the new themes and more:
Some great minutia videos from an F-Pace Forum member, who coincidently turns out to be a "neighbor" of mine(I can see where I live when he brings up his route planning map).
Full list here, and a few to check out right now…

Still doing that 20 second pre-roll for each and every video…
That Parking Aid screen had better show a good birds eye view in real life. I recently saw the birds eye view in the new S550 and was so impressed. Will Land Rover compare?
Updated (1/22/17) confirming hardware configuration:
It is an Intel Quad Core 1.9 GHz Atom with 4GB of RAM and a 60GB SSD in the US market. For the rest of the world, if Rear Seat Entertainment is specified, a 160GB SSD is used. With the 60GB drive, 10GB is configured for user media, the 160GB drive increases that to 110GB of user media storage.
Located under the front left-side seat, here’s the Infotainment Master Controller (IMC):
Their reference design for IVI:
Jaguar Land Rover likes to point out that InControl Touch Pro uses an Intel quad-core processor. Looking at Intel’s IVI documentation, the processor they’re describing is most likely the 1.91Ghz Intel Atom E3845. A hardened SOC that can operate from -40° to 110°C.
Throughout other articles Linux is referenced and while they may just be using the template for the VM they used in testing some of their new tech, one of the press photos calls out 64-bit Ubuntu.
First the image of the test system running on the additional touch screen. Then see the second picture below, zooming in on the test screen
This wasn’t a secret, as far back in 2013 they said it would be a GENIVI-compliant, Linux-based infotainment system.
