The description of what is included in the 2007 facelift is below;
An electronically controlled infinitely variable locking rear differential was new for 2007. Standard on the Supercharged Range Rover and optional on the HSE, this device aids traction and handling on- and off-road. The 2006 infinitely variable locking electronic center differential was continued as standard on both models.
The Terrain Response system, first introduced on the Range Rover Sport, was added to the full size Range Rover in 2007 as standard equipment. A control dial positioned on the center console can be set to any one of five available modes to handle different terrain situations from normal dry-pavement driving to snow, mud, sand, and extreme rock crawling. Depending on the setting, the vehicle's electronics adjust the settings of the throttle response, automatic transmission operation, electronic differentials, anti-lock brakes, air suspension, traction control, and Hill Descent Control systems to optimize performance in the given conditions. The five available Terrain Response settings are:
general driving
grass/gravel/snow (applicable to any slippery condition)
sand
mud & ruts
rock crawl
A new electronically controlled parking brake system replaced the earlier mechanical setup.
Terrain Response dial with settings for (clockwise from left) normal, grass/snow, mud & ruts, sand, rocks.
Also note revised controls behind knob (lower part of picture) for air suspension settings (left), Hill Descent Control (center) and transfer case high/low range (right).
The 4-year, 50,000 mile warranty with complimentary scheduled service was continued as before.
Chassis & Suspension
The HSE's suspension calibrations (spring and damper rates) were "upgraded" to match those on the Supercharged model, giving a somewhat harder more sporty ride, with vertical wheel travel reduced to 7.6 inches/194 mm at the front (down from 10.75 inches) and 11.5 inches/292 mm at the rear (down from 13 inches). On the other hand, the recalibrated suspension settings evidently gave an increased ramp breakover angle in off road mode of 30 degrees (instead of 28 degrees on the 2003-2005 models).
The Terrain Response system took over some control of the suspension height settings, but the manual control was retained and moved to a new position behind and to the left of the gearshift (see photos above).
Exterior
Design: Unchanged from 2006.
The supercharged models came with 9-spoke 20x8.5 inch wheels and 255/50R20 tires.
Dash
Interior, Electronics, Navigation and Entertainment
The most obvious change was to the dash area, where the ignition key was moved from its former location on the center console to a new spot on the driver's side of the face vents on the dash. Balancing this on the other side of the vents are two switches controlling the two glove boxes. On top of the dash are extra air vents.
In the gauge cluster, the instruments had new, more legible graphics and bezels with a brushed-aluminum finish. A new "Range Rover" logo appeared on the passenger side of the dash.
On the center console, a new electronic handbrake had a one-touch lever control activated by a light pull. It disengages automatically with forward travel, or can be manually released. Elimination of the mechanical handbrake linkage facilitated the moving of the gearshift to the left, closer to the driver, making room for a new storage compartment on the right of the console.
door trim
Twin glove boxes -- one stacked atop the other and opened by an electric release button to the right of the air vents on the dash -- make convenient use of the passenger side of the instrument panel.
Redesigned front seats had a new active head restraint design to help guard against whiplash injury during a rear-end collision, and were claimed be more comfortable. A new option was dedicated air-conditioning units that circulate cool air through center trim perforations in both the cushion and backrest areas (standard on the Supercharged model). Separate controls were provided for the driver and the front passenger.
Side-impact airbags were relocated form the doors to the seatbacks, allowing a new door panel design with more wood trim. A knee airbag was added for the driver, increasing the number of airbags to nine, while the passenger-side airbag was reengineered for enhanced deployment.
A new acoustic windshield was laminated with a triple-layer polymer capable of reducing the transmission of exterior noise by up to six decibels.
controls
The air-conditioning system was upgraded to offer improved cooling, better airflow distribution, lower noise and greater comfort levels. A new 9 kW evaporator replaced the existing 7.8 kW version, giving about a 15% increase in cooling power. The new center top vents helped improve ventilation for front-seat occupants, and yielded a reduction in airflow noise at high fan speeds. Three zone (driver, passenger and rear) controls for the climate control were provided on all models.
