CHATSWOOD, AUSTRALIA – September 3, 2009: The next generation Range Rover Vogue 10MY is due to arrive in Australia mid-September, offering even higher levels of craftsmanship and refinement. Revealed earlier this year the Range Rover Vogue 10MY features new engines deliver more power and improved fuel economy, whilst state-of-the-art Adaptive Dynamics technology further improve the Range Rover Vogue's peerless ride quality.

On the inside the Range Rover Vogue 10MY incorporates revolutionary new technologies, such as the world's first automotive application of a dual view touch screen, allowing driver and front seat passenger to view two different images simultaneously. The system uses patented Parallax Barrier technology to alternately hide and reveal columns of pixels to the left and right hand views of the screen. This means that the passenger can enjoy a DVD movie while the driver follows navigation instructions, all on the same screen.

The traditional instrument cluster has also been replaced by a fully configurable 12" TFT screen which presents all essential driver information via cleverly designed 'virtual' dials and graphical displays.

To complete the package, the Range Rover Vogue 10MY benefits from a series of enhanced active safety aids including Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Automatic High Beam Assist and a patented reverse Tow Assist function. In addition, a surround camera system utilises five digital cameras to relay a near 360-degree view to the touch-screen, allowing for easier parking, towing and off road manoeuvring.

Overall these enhancements to Range Rover Vogue reinforce its position as Land Rover's most complete luxury 4x4. Land Rover's flagship has been comprehensively updated to deliver more refined and efficient performance, along with the ultimate in interior comfort and craftsmanship.
