Land Rover Limited Editions


The third-generation Range Rover has been on sale for ten years now, and Land Rover is celebrating with a trio of special editions. They should also help extend the RR’s life before the impending mk4 version appears.

The Range Rover Westminster Edition replaces the Vogue and Vogue SE models. At R 900 000 +, it costs little more than the former, but gets an abundance of extra equipment. Highlights are heating and cooling for the front seats and a whopping 19-speaker, 1200W Harman/Kardon stereo. The clever dual view setup - which allows the driver to see sat-nav and car controls while the passenger watches TV or DVDs on the same screen - is also standard.

Exterior telltales include a new finish for the front grille and side vents, a set of 20in, ten-spoke alloy wheels and the obligatory Westminster badging. The only engine option is Land Rover’s 4.4-litre TDV8 diesel (linked to an eight-speed automatic gearbox), capable of launching the Range Rover to 100km/h in 7.5sec.

The TDV8 Autobiography and Supercharged Autobiography are the other two specials. Both get the ‘Range Rover Design Pack’ as standard, which includes new front and rear bumpers, silver treatments for the grille and vents and 20in ‘Shadow Chrome’ alloys.
