Reply With QuoteCan't wait to see it at the Sydney Motor show in October.
I would be happy with a base model TDV6 HSE. Plenty fast enough, lightest, most economical, and has all the fruit one could need. Now where can I find a spare $168,900

So by now I'm sure a few of you have received LRA's invites to see/register for the new RR. For those of you that haven't, compared to the outgoing L322:
- 20mm longer, slightly wider and lower, 100mm longer wheelbase
- all-alloy body and frame, 420kg weight saving for the base model
- better approach/departure, but slightly lower ramp-over angle - 900mm wading depth
- 3.0 TDV6, 4.4 TDV8, 5.0 S/C, all tweaked! No std 5.0 V8
- Terrain Response 2, basically the system from the DC100
- Gen 2 air suspension
- HSE, Vogue, Vogue SE and Autobiography
The HSE only gets the TDV6, but since the car weighs 420kg less, that get 0 ~ 100kph in 7.9 sec!! The rear eLocker is only available on TDV8 and S/C, but only if you don't spec Park-Assist (presumably if you can push the car enough to need an eLocker, you can park the thing!). There's a host of other new features, design changes etc - it's one good-looking car.
Of more interest to the forum, I also saw a demo of the new off-road features. The LR engineers are saying this is the most capable off-roader LR has ever built, but they're sulking because they doubt anyone will ever use it ($200,000+ for the Vogue!) Most of the following will appear on the 2014 Sport as well, but no one could tell me if the 2015 Disco will get any of it. Moderators note, there may therefore be an argument for moving the RRS section into the Range Rover section, once these models are released.
So offroad:
- Two off-road heights: + 40mm and +75mm (cf +50mm for current models)
- +40 mode doesn't drop until 80kph
- Extended mode still available (but not sure if super-extended still exists)
- 300mm wheel travel
- TR2 comprises auto-detection of terrain - selects modes itself, but can be over-ridden with the rotary select
- 19, 20, 21 and 22" rims only
- My Compomotive 18" rims WONT fit
Don't know yet what tyre choices are going to be available, but I'll be measuring one up in November. Then just need to hock the kids (oops, already done that .... ) and place an order. Or wait for the Sport? What to do .....................

Is electric steering only fitted with Park-Assist? If so then perhaps the 2 are mutually exclusive due to power consumption as I've heard that electric steering on the petrol Territory requires the vehicle to be fitted with a very high output alternator (200A IIRC).Originally Posted by gghaggis

With that auto stop/start, wonder if it can be overridden ,
I can think of heaps of times off road ,that if I stopped that I would want to keep motor going,

As far as I know Ken, all auto stop/start vehicles can be overridden .With that auto stop/start, wonder if it can be overridden ,

Wife's beamer has a button beside the stop/start button that lights up when it is pressed.
Must admit it is a pain in arse sometimes, especially for my daughter who is on her learners .

SupporterReceived this link from LR Australia. Isn't it a Vogue rather than a Sport?

Yes, it is a "Vogue" although the naming will change, so better to call it the "full size" RR. The point I was making was that a lot of the same technology will filter down to the 2014 Sport.

Not positive Graeme, but I think the electric steering (std on the Evoque) will be std on all Australian releases of the full-size RR.

SupporterActually they do refer to it as a Vogue at one point in the LR Link.

In Australia there will be 4 trim levels: HSE, Vogue, VogueSE and Autobiography. So it might be a little confusing to refer to the whole lineup as the "Vogue"
