Styling tweaks accompany the engine swap, with restyled lights, front bumper, grille, side vents, and wheels identifying the 2006 model. Supercharged Range Rovers add a mesh grille, mesh side vents, special badges, and giant 20-inch alloy wheels. Modifications are also made to create a quieter cabin, and there's a killer rear seat entertainment system featuring a six-disc DVD changer, twin screens, and headphone pods that are all integrated with the Range Rover's 710-watt, Logic 7 surround sound system. Adaptive headlights that help illuminate around curves are available, and the Range Rover's audio, phone, and navigation systems get touch-screen control for 2006. Also new this year is a reversing camera system and a Bluetooth-enabled communications system with text messaging capability. Already the most luxurious and capable SUV on the market, the 2006 Land Rover Range Rover kicks it up a notch to ensure its supremacy. If we had to buy just one vehicle to do it all, this would be tough to pass up.

About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.
