2010 Range Rover Vogue On Sale In UK In July, Australia In September

2010-Range-Rover-29

LAND ROVER HAS TODAY announced that the 2010 Range Rover will hit UK showrooms in July, and pricing for the UK Range Rover line-up is now available.

Aesthetically, the 2010 Range Rover features subtle updates to the body, including a revised grille and bumper, along with a new LED indicator system in the headlights.

Motivation for the 2010 Range Rover will be provided by a choice of a 5.0 litre supercharged V8, producing an agreeable 380kW (510hp) and 625Nm (461lb-ft) of torque, or a naturally-aspirated 5.0 litre V8 making 276kW (375hp) and 508Nm (375lb-ft) of torque.

Land Rover says that despite the Range Rover’s new supercharged V8 making a good 29 percent more power and 12 percent more torque than previous, fuel consumption is improved by 7.3 percent, using just 14.8 l/100km.

On the inside, there’s new leather trim to the headlining, pillar and door casings, and a new satin chrome-plated finish to the control buttons.

A dual-view touch-screen display screen rests in the centre stack, while a configurable 12-inch TFT screen – which Land Rover claims is the world’s largest – features, well, where the instrument cluster would usually be.

Rangey fans can also look forward to upgraded Terrain Response and Stability Control systems and a new surround camera system to improve the parking process.

The entry level Range Rover TDV8 Vogue will start at £64,695 ($131,500) in the UK, and features 19-inch alloy wheels, LED tail lights, multi-function touch-screen satellite navigation and iPod connectivity.

Following the Vogue is the TDV8 Vogue SE, with 20-inch alloy wheels, adaptive bi-xenon headlights and Adaptive Climate Control, at £70,995 ($144,200).

The range-topping Autobiography rounds out the line-up at £75,695 ($153,800) for the diesel TDV8, and £79,995 ($162,500) for the petrol V8.

Land Rover Australia’s Marketing and Public Affairs Manager, Kevin Goult, confirmed to TMR that the Vogue will arrive in Australian showrooms in September, with pricing and trims to be confirmed closer to launch.
