2006 Land Rover Range Rover Review
Two new engines update the top-line Land Rover for 2006. Range Rover comes in HSE and new Supercharged trim. Both have five-passenger seating and engines originated at Jaguar, which is owned by Land Rover's parent company, Ford. HSE has a 305-hp V8, replacing a BMW-made 282-hp V8. The Supercharged has a supercharged 400-hp V8. A 6-speed automatic is the sole transmission. Standard equipment includes traction/antiskid control, hill descent control, ABS, and height-adjustable suspension. Front side airbags and front and rear head-protecting tubular side airbags also are included. Added for '06 are DVD entertainment and a standard rearview camera. Voice-activated navigation system, wireless cell phone link, and front and rear obstacle detection also are standard.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Based on mainstream Large SUVs, Premium Large SUVs are really super-sized luxury liners. All are powerful, pricey, and extremely thirsty at the pump.

Our Best Buys is Toyota Land Cruiser. Our Recommended pick is Cadillac Escalade.
News
Sources see no major near-term changes for Range Rover. The current design is now five years old, and past Land Rover practice suggests a replacement isn't due for another three years at least.
