Land Rover Announces 2007 Lineup Changes and Pricing
The newcomer for the Land Rover brand in 2007 will be the LR2, out next spring. But we’ve already examined that. Today Land Rover announced what it’s updated in the current lineup. There’s not much new, but we figured potential Rover buyers might like to know anyways.
The big daddy of the family — the Range Rover — gets a redesigned interior, while the outside remains relatively unchanged. The Range Rover also adds the Terrain Response system from the LR3 standard. Side airbags have been added to the second row, and a driver’s knee airbag has also been added. Cooling ventilated front seats are optional; Supercharged models have them standard. Heated seats are now standard for all.
Prices for the base model rise a bit this year, going from 2006’s $75,035 to 2007’s $76,535, excluding the destination charge. The Range Rover Supercharged bumps up from $90,035 to $92,035, excluding the destination charge.
The smaller — and increasingly popular — Range Rover Sport sees fewer changes, as the interior and exterior remain untouched. There is a new Bluetooth phone system now standard, and Sirius Satellite Radio is also standard on the Supercharged model. And … that’s it. Prices for the 2007 Range Rover Sport HSE start at $56,935, just slightly more than 2006’s $56,535. The 2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged also costs just a bit more than last year, starting at $70,235, compared to 2006’s $69,535.
At the bottom of the list is the LR3, the vehicle that started the recent Land Rover renaissance in the U.S. The formerly optional leather trim, power sunroof and nine-speaker sound system are now standard, and all V-8 models come with a third row of seats. Prices here have also gone up: The 2007 base LR3 V-6 SE starts at $41,285, up from $38,285 in 2006. The 2007 V-8 SE will cost $48,085, up from $44,985. And the 2007 LR3 V-8 HSE is $53,085, just $100 more than the 2006 model.
