Main Features ( Check out the Crawl Control ) Unique stuff !!!
Cabin versatility
Five seat models now feature third-row seats that fold entirely flat into the floor for better space – a failing of the previous car, and on top spec cars you can do this at the touch of a button. As you’d expect all the seats can be configured in various patterns with easy release levers. There are loads of storage compartments including a large cooler box in the front centre console.

Entertainment and comfort
17-speaker surround sound, 605-watt, 7.1 channel, with external inputs and Bluetooth capability. There is keyless entry and start, three-zone air con – front split and rear – plus configurable instrument panel display, sat-nav and camera.

Safety
• Pre-crash Safety System – if the radar detects a possible collision it sounds and displays warnings. It can operate the brakes to reduce the impact and activates the seatbelt pretensioners. There’s also brake assist for emergency braking.
• Dynamic Cruise Control – will keep a pre-selected distance from the car in front on the highway
• Active headrests – front head rests cushion the head automatically when a rear impact is detected.
• Adaptive front lighting – illuminates the direction of travel and not just straight-ahead.

Air Suspension
The rear air suspension maintains constant ground clearance whatever the weight and height is adjustable so you can raise it for off-roading. There are also three modes for the suspension: Comfort, Normal and Sports.

KDSS
Also a feature of the suspension the ‘Kinetic Drive Suspension System’ suppresses body roll on tarmac and helps to improve the ride and handling on the road - basically it tries to keep the body level. It’s also able to absorb vibrations on rough surfaces. Go off-road and it tries to keep all the tires on the ground whilst minimising how much the passengers lurch around in a pitching cabin.

Multi-Terrain Monitor
Essentially this is made up of four cameras mounted on the front, rear and sides. It’s especially useful when off-roading to read the terrain ahead, particularly as the front camera has a downward angle.

Steering Angle Display
The dot-matrix screen on the instrument panel can illustrate the front steering angle so you always know which way you are going.

Crawl Control
Switch on Crawl Control and the car can operate both the throttle and, when descending, the brake to keep a constant speed allowing you to concentrate on steering the car. There are five slow-speed modes to select from. It could also help you to free yourself if you get stuck in the sand or mud.

Multi-terrain Select
Like Land Rover’s All-Terrain system, this is perfect for off-roading novices. You can select between Mud & Sand, Loose Rock (gravel), Rock and Mogul (stone). Models that don’t have Multi-terrain select feature Active Traction Control to control power delivery and braking.

Multi-terrain ABS and EBD
The anti-lock braking systems has been programmed to cope with off-road driving particularly in mud and sand.

It is kind of cool that they still make 2 door SUVs in some parts of the world.
