2015 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Recieve More Power and Tech

The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are receiving a bunch of upgrades like the engine for instance. The six-cylinder 3.0-litre TDV6 has lost the twin-turbo and now bears a single turbocharger but the output has remained the same at 258bhp and 600 Nm. But there are more changes than that.

In fact, the engine is now 8.5% more fuel efficient in the Range Rover and 5.7% in the Range Rover Sport. However, if you were wondering what would happen to the 3.0-litre SDV6 in the Range Rover Sport, well, it will continue to come with the parallel-sequential turbocharging but thanks to further calibrations it now develops an extra 14bhp. The tally hence stands at 306bhp and 700 Nm.

Land Rover is also introducing a head-up display system which will offer data like speed, gear position & shift indicator, sat-nav instructions, cruise control info and traffic sign recognition. In addition, both cars can be equipped with an All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) system which allows the driver to select a desired speed which will be continuously monitor and adjust the vehicle settings in order to provide the best traction regardless of conditions.

In the video Land Rover says that the ATPC which operates between 1 and 30km/h diminishes the driver's workload by maintaining composure over difficult terrain. The driver need not worry about power input and can leave that duty upto the ATPC. It can be had in the TDV6, SCV6 and V8 Supercharged versions when specified with dual-range transmission and Terrain Response 2 system.
