• Prior to its crucial launch in North America, Land-Rover has made a number of changes to the Range Rover's exterior and interior trim.
Most striking is the replacement radiator grille that hides the cooling fans from the eye, and concealed bonnet hinges. The result is a cleaner, unembellished look to the vehicle, more in keeping with its prestige car status, and price.
The two-piece tailgate has been improved with revised locking, and an internal release lever for the lower half of the gate.
The fuel filler cap has been changed and is operated through the central door locking mechanism to provide single key locking for the whole vehicle.
Interior revisions to LR's luxury work horse include repositioned front seats to provide door pockets, revised steering column stalks and steering wheel, and a onethird/two-thirds split rear seat.
In the UK, the 123kW (165hp) fuel-injected V8 petrol engine — previously only available on the top-of-the-range Vogue — becomes the standard power unit on all models.
