9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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.
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.
