OverviewOverviewAfter the major model update in 2006 and the fairly significant
facelift in 2007, upgrades for 2008 are limited to more minor luxury
and trim details, such as 4 zone air conditioning and special infrared
blocking window glass, new tread-plates, revised
graphics on the touch-screen and instruments, and additional color
choices.
Wheels:
Inevitably, yet another wheel option was introduced, in the form
of a
highly polished 20" alloy wheel design that continued the recent
Land Rover tradition of supplying wheel and tire combinations that are
totally
unsuited to off road conditions.
The main change from 2007 is the addition of four-zone air conditioning, enabling rear seat passengers to control their individual heating and ventilation. This was complemented with available 'climate control' windscreen and side glass with automatic rain and headlight sensing. The special glass cuts infrared heat transmission into the vehicle, reducing heat build up when the vehicle is parked in the sun.

Other trim changes included new tread-plates and revised
graphics on the touch-screen and instruments. A new interior colour
became available, called Storm. Along with the two new exterior colors
(see "exterior" section above), there was a fresh set of "designers'
choices"
for recommended interior and exterior combinations.
The official press photo above shows the enhanced trim on the center
console and the slight graphics changes on the instruments.
