Contents.Overview The previous generation (or 'Pegasus') had been developed whilst the Rover Group was owned by, and budgetary constraints during the development had been extremely tight.

When the was taken over by shortly after the P38A's launch in 1994, the newly installed BMW management at Land Rover quickly concluded that the car would not have a long shelf life compared to its predecessor, due to its fundamentally dated underpinnings, and cancelled the planned '99 Model Year' updates. A proposed replacement for the was postponed and development of an all-new Range Rover, codenamed L322, took priority.The initial codename for the project was L30, in line with the then system of Lxx for Land Rover projects, such as (L20) and (L25).The L30 project was a joint one involving engineers from both Rover Group and BMW and was initially based at BMW's FIZ Engineering Centre in Munich before transferring to Land Rover's Solihull plant for the final stages prior to volume production. Pre-facelift Range Rover VogueThe design has a (unibody) construction with four-wheel independent. Air suspension allowed variable ride height and achieved similar to the previous design. This retained off-road abilities while improving on-road performance.

And then in a return to original Range Rover styling, more wood inserts have been added to the doors and centre console.

The 2010 Range Rover also gained new visual display units as also seen in the new for 2010. This change consisted of a 12-inch virtual instrument panel, which replaces the conventional cluster design — instead 'virtual' gauges are displayed where physical analog gauges were previously. This allows various sets of information to be displayed as required — for example navigation and map information can be displayed instead of engine readouts, whilst when one of the off-road driving modes is selected on the Terrain Response system the 'gauges' are reorganised to provide space to display the of the vehicle's suspension, steering and transmission systems.
