Great find on the rangerovers.net board seems to indicate InControl Touch Pro is coming to Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Evoque (already announced) & Range Rover Sport.  The X351 referenced is the 2016 Jaguar XJ, which got the 8” InControl Touch Pro system in its latest refresh.

Excerpts from the 2016 Range Rover Press Release with my comments (rants)

Full text of Press Pack at end of article.

** Double roof fins are for vehicles with the hotspot option, second antenna is for the 3G radio – 3G, is it 2010? How many people in the car are actually supposed to share that lightning fast 3G connection?  Will the extra antenna really make any difference?

** Dial graphics have been refreshed and the 5” screen resolution has doubled to VGA levels – 640 x 480.

** Ingenium TD4 brings a new blue badging to Evoque, highlighting its E-Capability

** I hate to call out a JLR employee but I’ll paste in the quote below – I think it explains why the current generation systems are so rough – no one at Jaguar Land Rover should be talking about “vast experience” or “competitive advantage” with regard their current and/or previous systems.  Here’s hoping InControl Touch lives up to the hype but it’s still worrying.  Do the people within JLR realize how many edges were left unpolished in the current systems?

“Land Rover has vast experience with touchscreen infotainment systems, providing a huge competitive advantage as consumers increasingly become accustomed to touchscreen technology via smartphones and tablets,” said Danella Bagnall, Vehicle Line Director, Evoque.

** Evoque’s Hands-Free Tailgate can be activated both from directly behind the vehicle, and from either side of the bumper

2016 Range Rover Evoque (16)

This first refresh of the Range Rover Evoque for 2016 really does a great job to sharpen it up.

Some of my bullet points (official PR to follow)

  • All models getting hood vents
  • Two new grille designs (Dynamic & Non)
  • InControl Touch available
  • Tailgate can be opened with a swipe of your foot under the rear bumper
  • Lane-Keeping Assist / Autonomous Emergency Braking / Driver Drowsing Monitor(UK: Attention Assist Estimation)
