2003-2008 Land Rover Range Rover: Year-to-Year Changes

2004 Land Rover Range Rover: A new top-of-the-line Westminster LE model joined the carryover HSE. Limited to 300 units, the Westminstar had exclusive pearlescent black paint and ebony wood interior trim. Heated front/rear seats, a heated steering wheel, black leather upholstery, rain-sensing wipers, and a rear cargo net were installed in Westminsters. A new HSE Luxury Interior Package had 14-way power seats and additional leather trim, plus heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

2005 Land Rover Range Rover: As Land Rover launched a new midsize LR3 sport-utility, the big Range Rover essentially stood pat. A new voice-activated navigation system was installed, and an available sound system included wireless cell-phone-link capability.

2006 Land Rover Range Rover: Two new engines debuted for 2006, as Range Rovers received detail styling modifications. In addition to the HSE, the lineup included a new Supercharged model. Both used a Jaguar-originated V8. In the HSE, a 305-horsepower 4.4-liter V8 replaced the BMW-sourced 282-hp 4.4-liter. The Supercharged model got a 4.2-liter V8 that produced 400 horsepower, along with 20-inch wheels and Brembo-brand front brakes. The six-speed automatic transmission now included a manual shift gate. Satellite radio and DVD entertainment were newly available. A newly standard rearview camera used the dashboard screen to show what was behind, when the transmission was in Reverse. Land Rover launched a new, smaller Range Rover Sport model this year.

2007 Land Rover Range Rover: A revised interior and a more sophisticated all-wheel-drive system were the 2007 changes for Land Rover's flagship SUV. For '07, it added Land Rover's Terrain Response system, which had a console switch that enabled the driver to change suspension and powertrain calibrations to accommodate normal driving, slippery pavement, mud, sand, and low-speed off-roading. A locking center differential is standard, and a locking rear differential became available for '07. Also standard were front side airbags, front and rear head-protecting tubular side airbags, and, for '07, a driver knee airbag. All Range Rover interiors were revised for '07 with new seats, dashboard, gauges, controls, and storage bins.

2008 Land Rover Range Rover: The 2008 Land Rover Range Rover was largely unchanged.
