Range Rover 2006 now available in two new engines

The New Range Rover for 2006, Land Rover’s flagship model and the latest arrival in the brand’s portfolio offers two powerful engine variants making this model even more sophisticated, luxurious and desirable than ever before.

The new Range Rover for 2006 is now the most refined, the most quiet and the best equipped Range Rover. It is available in two new petrol engines, a 4.4 litre naturally aspirated V8 and a Vogue Supercharged 4.2 litre V8, the most powerful unit ever fitted to a Land Rover. This engine option comes with 400 bhp.

Both engines are lightweight and use advanced torque-based engine management systems. They are designed to give more torque at lower revs for smoother operation at extreme angles and tough off-roading conditions.

In addition, the supercharged version gets Brembo front brakes for better stopping and power, and revised suspension that delivers flatter handling, for superior high-speed on-road performance.

Moreover, the new engines are matched to the latest generation ZF six-speed automatic electronically controlled transmission, which offers outstanding smoothness and response. The use of a centre differential further contributes to the improved off-road prowess and on-road handling of the vehicle.

The steering feel has also been enhanced and the air suspension with adjustable ride-height is further improved for better on and off-road performance and comfort.

Speaking on the arrival of this new model, Andy Gawthorpe, Managing Director, Land Rover Middle East & Africa, said,” The improvements on The Range Rover for 2006 has elevated Land Rover’s flagship model to even greater heights. The new engines make this vehicle more powerful and ensure your driving experience is exceptionally smooth, receptive and effortless irrespective of the terrain.

Undoubtedly, The Range Rover knows no equal in the luxury 4×4 market and the arrival of this new model has further reinforced its status at the forefront of the luxury SUV sector.
