It’s reliable, stylish, equipped with every function and gadget you can imagine and boasts a powerful yet near-silent engine. The LR-V8 petrol engine provides outstanding power, torque and refinement and harnesses the latest technology to deliver outstanding drivability and performance. Inbuilt terrain technologies help reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve fuel consumption and an intelligent power management system includes smart regenerative charging so the battery is charged when it is most economical to do so.

The driving performance is further enhanced through the four-corner electronic air suspension which maintains a smooth, constant ride despite the amount or distribution of the passengers. As many as seven adults can comfortably travel in the LR4, due to the generous legroom and wide-opening doors for easy access. All of the seats can be folded down should you wish to fill your car with other items. The interior is coated in leather to offer optimal levels of comfort. Meticulous attention has been given to the design and detailing and the materials used are premium and durable. Fine details, such as double stitching on the facia add to the vehicle’s prestige. From the position of the driver’s seat you have a wealth of options at your fingertips. The instrument panel has a five-inch Thin Film Transistor display that shows the important vehicle information. This display can be personalised using a simple menu system controlled by the thumb controls on the steering wheel. Switches for other functions, including cruise control, remote audio and phone, are conveniently located below the thumb controls. On the entertainment touch-screen you can view five angles surrounding the car to optimise your awareness and road safety. Choose the radio station you wish to listen to or select a TV channel for your passengers to view. Additional options include plugging in your iPod, a USB device or using Bluetooth, plus you have the option of recording everything that is said in the car in case you take an important phone call and need to remember the details. Three panoramic sunroofs are placed on the three rows of seats in the car, providing natural light for all the passengers.
