For such a high altitude of the Range Rover with permanent four-wheel drive, a switchable transfer gearbox. The transfer ratio gears can be drastically reduced and really increase the pulling power. At steep downhill with max. 15 km/h it is sufficient to use the braking performance of its engine. In aid to keep the brakes to be calm and prevent sliding down muddy slopes. On swampy grounds, the switchable central lock which acts on the center differential in the middle of the vehicle, make a further increase of the traction. In agriculture and forestry, but also in road construction areas the Range Rover is the superior way to take you to your destinations.
Wet meadows, deep arable ground, clay, rocky soil and loose rock, it coped easily as on the road.

Whoever is used to accept that off-road vehicles have loud engine noise, energy-sapping controls and knock hard suspension, will easily run the risk of underestimating the Range Rover.

The Range Rover does not fear competition. Especially not on the highway, where he achieves a top speed of about 155 km/h easily, thanks to muscular 126-hp 3.5-liter V8 light-alloy engine.
Encouraging that the fuel consumption in both models with the slightly modified engine can be reduced by around 20%. As an absolute necessity to master the variety of terrain conditions, proved to be permanent all-wheel drive, which provides in difficult terrain for optimum pulling power. To enhance traction and to overcome all the problems in the field, it has a third differential between the front and rear axle, which can be locked.
