NAPA, Calif. – Thanks to heavy rain, Land Rover provided neither an off-road course nor a racetrack on which to test the mettle of the significantly upgraded 2006 Range Rover. But, for those of us familiar with this flagship luxury SUV, driving from the urban grid of San Francisco to the winding two-lanes of northern California’s wine-growing region revealed plenty of personality changes.
The 2006 Land Rover Range Rover comes in two new flavors. In addition to a fresh base-model designation of HSE, for the first time in Land Rover’s history there is a sporty Supercharged version. Land Rover would tell you that, unlike Porsche with its turbocharged Cayenne, its flagship Supercharged model is meant to be spirited, but not racy. Additionally, its new 4WD system, borrowed from the 2005 Land Rover LR3, is not only proven, but has garnered awards in the automotive industry. Plus, Land Rover has thoroughly updated its flagship and bumped it more upscale. Sure to please both loyalists and newcomers, the 2006 Land Rover Range Rover’s changes serve each of these buyers.
