ENGINES 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The higher top gear not only reduces fuel consumption but the lower engine revs improve comfort and reduce noise when cruising at a sustained speed. The 9-speed Automatic Transmission is extremely robust and perfectly complements Land Rover’s rugged all-terrain ability whilst delivering exceptionally high levels of refinement and efficiency.

The lightweight, compact 9-speed Automatic Transmission provides optimum fuel economy and CO 2 emissions, as well as greater control in low-grip conditions or when towing through the specially designed, ultra-low first gear. The transmission is specifically designed for transverse applications, and is one of the most efficient and technically advanced ever used in a production vehicle. Two patented dog clutches replace the bulkier conventional set-up, allowing small ratio steps to give better response during acceleration, plus improved shift quality, drive and refinement.
