All those who have had the chance of riding the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover HSE, they have the experience of an SUV which is not just comfortable, but also safe and stylish. As a matter of fact, those who have been in the 2012 Range Rover Sport, for them it feels like meeting up an old friend who is almost a sibling of the previous version. The new Range Rover carried forward several features from earlier versions which make it the perennial favorite among many car enthusiasts. The body line of the classic Range Rover and the 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels demands the attention of everyone right out of the gate, exuding an air of surety which has been the hallmark of Land Rover.
As far as the performance of Land Rover Greensboro is considered, there's no point of disappointment for the rider. The 5.0 liters 375 horsepower aluminum alloy V8 helps the car to smoothly launch right from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds. While this might be a regular figure in several other models, but it proves to be impressive enough for the Land Rover considering the 5,500 lbs of metal, the plush leather, and the glossy wood. In spite of all these refinements that has been incorporated into the models, the Range Rover can still climb the mountains, travail through the rocky terrains, and even wade through the knee deep water quite comfortably.
There are several performance features within the 2012 Range Rover Sports which it has retained from the previous versions, and defines the brand quintessentially. The permanent 4 wheel drive, independent front and rear suspension, the six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with the Command Shift speak it all for the vehicle.
Another new feature that has been integrated into the model, and is worth sharing is the power tailgate which allows the drivers to set their desired lift height by simply holding the tailgate at the height they want it to be, and then pressing one of the three buttons for at least 10 seconds. One would not have to face much trouble for pressing these buttons as well since they are placed comfortably on the fascia, the key fob, and the tailgate respectively.
One specific area where the Range Rover had lost most of the enthusiasts on their first ride is in the driver ergonomics. While the luxury aspect has been securely nailed down, the location of the used controls for windows, outside mirrors, door locks, and even the gearshifts are slightly offbeat. Since most of the drivers are used to with the symmetrical position, this might be something out of the syllabus within the Land Rover in Greensboro NC. It has been tagged as the ultimate model whose power has been its intelligence. All that it needs to, is prove it and conquer the heart of millions of car enthusiasts.
