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.

Vehicle shown left is HSE Dynamic Coupé with Si4 240PS engine in Firenze Red.
