Enhancements to the Range Rover
for 2008 add a series of further luxury
touches and practical new features,
including four-zone air conditioning,
which enables rear seat passengers to
control their individual cooling and ventilation.
This is neatly complemented with
'climate control' windscreen and side
glass which is now available in conjunction
with automatic rain and headlight
sensing.
The special glass cuts infra-red heat
transmission into the vehicle, reducing
heat build up when the vehicle is parked
in the sun, for example, so allowing the
air conditioning to function faster and
more effectively on drive away. There is
also an additional leather trim on the
heating and ventilation unit and centre
console plus a total of seven real wood
veneers to choose from, all sourced
from sustainable forests, and additional
wood veneer elements have
been applied to the rear of the centre
console. A matching wooden
gear knob has also been introduced
on some models.
The attention to detail extends
to new tread-plates and revised
graphics on the touch-screen and
instruments. A new interior colour
called Storm is available, as well as
two new exterior colours, Alaska
White and Lucerne Green, and a
fresh set of "designers' choices" for
recommended interior and exterior
combinations.
