Configurable Terrain Response

Giving you the option to individually configure the powertrain, steering, differentials and traction control settings to meet your off-road needs.

What Is Land Rover Terrain Response?

Terrain Response is an advanced system. It allows drivers to choose from several driving modes. These modes enhance performance on various surfaces. With the easy twist of a dial or push of a button, you can access the infamous Land Rover off‑road engineering. This enhances all your adventures.

What Does It Do?
The driver uses a simple rotary selector on the centre console. You choose from a range of terrain options to set the Terrain Response mode. The system then automatically optimises many settings. It provides the best combination of traction, agility, and control for the terrain. These adjustments include engine response, gearbox programme, and Hill Descent Control, among others.

Terrain Response Modes (common to all systems):

• Sand – Maintains momentum on soft surfaces. The system heightens engine and gearbox response and locks the centre differential.

• Rock Crawl – Provides maximum control on harsh terrain. The system softens the accelerator response.

• Grass-Gravel-Snow – Electronic Traction Control intervenes early to prevent tyre slip. The system speeds up gear changes and softens accelerator response to avoid loss of traction. Hill Descent Control engages automatically when needed.

• Mud-Ruts – The traction control system optimises for controlled tyre slip. This provides the best traction in slippery conditions.

• General – Maximises fuel efficiency and minimises emissions for everyday road driving.

When Terrain Response 2 functions automatically, it also provides additional advice. For example, it may suggest selecting low range or the off‑road ride height. The intelligent system calculates this if necessary.
