Land Rover Range Rover test drive: make sure to check these features out.
Be sure to check out features like the touchscreen infotainment system, the semi-autonomous driving features, the LED headlights, the four-zone climate control and many others when you test drive a Land Rover Range Rover.
Land Rover's Range Rover has established itself as both a status symbol and one of the ultimate expressions of British luxury. The fact that these products also happen to be as capable of heading off the beaten path as they are doing a shopping trip has only cemented its popularity.
The current-generation Range Rover has been around since 2012 with regular updates being a theme throughout its nine years within the market. In 2021 the Range Rover celebrates its 50th anniversary, meaning that special edition models are heading our way in the form of the Range Rover Vogue Westminster SDV8, the Autobiography Fifty SDV8 and the SVAutobiography Dynamic Black Supercharged.
As a flagship product within what is already a premium brand, there are many luxury features to enjoy in a Range Rover, however, with a daunting 23-model line-up, the problem becomes more about which model to test drive and subsequently purchase. Since the brand has placed increased emphasis on these special edition models, we have chosen the SVAutobiography Dynamic Black Supercharged as a point of reference today. We have compiled this list of features that you should pay close attention to when test driving a Range Rover.
1.Potent powertrain
Despite weighing a hefty 2 487kg, the 416kW/700Nm supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine paired with a slick 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox which sends power to all four wheels means that this large luxo-barge can sprint to 100km/h in a claimed 5.3 seconds while top speed is electronically limited to 225km/h.
2.Dynamic steering and suspension
Since we are focussing on the SVAutobiography Dynamic model in this piece, the key changes made to this model versus other Range Rover models include a quicker steering rack, lower ride height, re-tuned the dampers anti-roll bar and revised springs. The model also features the Dynamic Response system which detects the sort of driving environment required and adapts the suspension accordingly.
3.Pixel-laser LED headlights
These top-of-the-range headlights provide up to five times more luminance than standard LED lights. These allow the driver to see the road ahead for up to 500 metres when the system is active at speeds over 80km/h.
4.Special colours
The SVAutobiography Dynamic Black Supercharged, as its name suggests, is available in Santorini Black with Narvik Black providing a slight contrast on the exterior trim pieces while inside, the ebony leather seats feature Pimento stitching.
5.Solid sound system
The model in question features the premium Meridian Signature Sound System that includes 28 speakers, a dual-channel subwoofer and a 1 700-watt output.
6.Four-zone climate control
The four-zone climate control allows the users to have four different temperatures within the cabin. This system includes a Cabin Air Ionization that ensures that the air within the cabin is as clean as possible.
7.Comfy seats
The SVAutobiography Dynamic includes 24-way adjustable front electric seats with heating and cooling that includes a ‘Hot Stone’ massage functionality. The rear seats are the so-called executive class comfort-plus items that are electrically adjustable, feature a centre armrest as well as a massage function.
8.Connectivity
The model in question comes with the InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which includes a navigation system with the Route Planner application, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, a Wi-Fi hotspot as well as a vehicle tracking and product support functionality.
9.Semi-autonomous safety
Aside from featuring 8 airbags, the SVAutobiography Dynamic model features a raft of semi-autonomous driving features such as lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitor, head-up display, adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera system.
