Capable & Versatile: 2016 Land Rover LR4 SUV
Available with three-row seating for seven adults, the 2016 Land Rover LR4 SUV is offered in LR4, LR4 HSE and LR4 HSE LUX trim levels. The exterior of the Land Rover SUV is distinguished by a front end with a two-bar grille and unique bumper, headlamps and fog lights. On the HSE LUX trim, the grille and side vents are Atlas (bright), while they're Brunel (dark) for the LR4 and LR4 HSE. A striking LED signature headlight design with Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) technology is standard on HSE and HSE LUX models. The optional 'Black Design Pack' adds gloss black treatments to the grille, fender vents, door handles, mirror caps, and badging. A satin black finish is applied to the extended roof rails, plus 19-inch or 20-inch black alloy wheels.
Power for the LR4 is generated by a 3.0L supercharged V6 prime mover. Torque is communicated to the wheels via an ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. An Intelligent Stop-Start system also helps reduce fuel consumption in certain driving situations. The V6 has a pressure die-cast deep oil sump to accommodate the extreme tilting angles (up to 45 degrees) that Land Rover vehicles can be subjected to during all-terrain driving. The engine's belt drives are waterproofed, as are the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump and starter motor.
Land Rover has also refined the all-terrain capability of the LR4, with a standard lighter single-speed Torsen® transfer case 4WD system and the availability of a two-speed transfer case 4WD system as part of an optional Heavy Duty Package. Expected to be selected by customers who take the LR4 into difficult off-road situations, the Heavy Duty Package also equips the vehicle with an active locking rear differential and a full-size spare tire.
Renowned for its impeccable blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability, the LR4 uses integrated body-frame construction, featuring a steel unibody mounted on a rigid boxed full frame. The innovative Terrain Response® system allows the driver to tailor the vehicle's capabilities to the prevailing road conditions. The four-wheel independent, height-adjustable air suspension helps adapt the LR4 to varying situations or weather conditions. The driver can select from four settings, including Access (lowers the vehicle for easier ingress/egress), Standard, Off-Road and Extended.
Inside the passenger cabin, all occupants enjoy the skyward view through a standard Alpine Roof, which combines a power glass sunroof over the front seats with stationary glass panels over the second and third rows. A choice of natural-finish woods, along with stitched and wrapped dashboard, door casings, and center console add to the ambiance of fine craftsmanship.
The center console is inclined towards the driver for easy access to its controls. A five-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) driver information LCD screen is located within the instrument cluster, and the Terrain Response® control is prominently located at the front of the center console. The steering wheel, which is adjustable for tilt and reach, features controls for driver information, remote audio controls, phone controls, cruise control, and controls for the optional heated steering wheel.
The HSE LUX includes the Extended Windsor Leather Package as standard and features driver's electrically adjustable side bolsters. The package includes premium soft Windsor leather with twin-stitch detailing to the top of the dashboard and doors, armrest and grab handles and also around the instrument cluster.
Clean, powerful sound is offered through the standard 380-Watt Meridian™ sound system with 11 speakers or an optional 825-Watt Meridian™ system with 17 speakers. An available Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system is equipped with a single-slot DVD drive in the audio head unit so the disc can be conveniently loaded from the front seats.
The Rear Seat Entertainment system incorporates WhiteFire™ cordless headphones and can be controlled by wireless remote control. The system supports connectivity with game consoles and video playback of MP4 files stored on a USB device. The phonebook stores several thousand entries, while the TFT Message Center interface displays audio, phone and navigational information.
