Land Rover's present generation Range Rover was co-engineered with BMW and since its introduction
00:07
for 2003, it's been powered by a BMW V8. For 2006, current parent Ford has given the top
00:18
of the line Range Rover significant updates. Truck Trend's Mark Williams has more.
00:24
The basic changes to the new Range Rover, a lot of them are actually under the skin
00:29
or in the interior so you don't see them right off the bat. And now we've got kind of a mid-model
00:34
change that the Range Rover is going through right now that's fairly significant. It's
00:39
got a new engine and transmission combination. It's actually a Jaguar engine now and not
00:43
a BMW engine and transmission. The improvements are quite a leap ahead of where it was before.
00:49
For the Range Rover HSE, the new normally aspirated 4.4 liter aluminum V8 makes 305
00:55
horsepower up from 282 in the previous engine. For the customer who believes more is better,
01:02
there's an even more powerful 4.2 liter. Of course the biggest news for this Range Rover
01:07
is that it's being offered with a supercharger with actually 400 horsepower which is an amazing
01:14
feat for something that typically has been a big and lumbering four-wheel drive sport
01:20
utility. For those interested in being able to tell the difference between the naturally
01:23
aspirated HSE and the supercharged model, there are some specific things that you can
01:29
look out for. There's a different grille that meshing is also matched with some of the side
01:35
vent on the supercharged model. There's one small badge on the rear tailgate that actually
01:41
does say supercharged. The tail lights themselves are more of a clear finish on the supercharged.
01:48
It's a different wheel, Brembo calipers on the front and a final touch are the dual chrome
01:54
pipes out the back end that are only offered on the supercharged model. Pricing for these
01:59
two Range Rovers remains at the top of the market with the HSE model stickering at about
02:04
$75,000 and the supercharged model at about $90,000. In this price range there's not a
02:11
lot of competition for the Range Rover supercharged model. Porsche Cayenne Turbo, BMW X5 4.8,
02:20
and maybe the Mercedes G55, $90,000. The air's pretty thin up here.
