If you’re looking for a vehicle that can take on any conditions, choose a Land Rover with Terrain Response 2. This system is a step up from the base Terrain Response.

It gives the driver the option to activate an automatic mode. That mode uses sophisticated intelligent systems. It analyses driving conditions. Then it chooses the most suitable terrain programme.

Vehicles like the 2017 Discovery Sport, the Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport can have this feature. The system is very similar to the original Terrain Response. Both offer multiple traction and stability control modes. They also provide braking, engine, and transmission settings for various conditions. Both can handle snow, sand, wet roads, and mud. They can even climb over rocky terrain. So what’s the difference?

The original system requires you to select a setting. That setting must meet your needs and match the current conditions. In contrast, Terrain Response 2 does it for you. You don’t have to dial in any settings. You don’t need to turn any knobs. You don’t need to think about changing conditions. That’s the advantage of this advanced system.

The base system offers plenty of capability for most drivers. Every Land Rover comes with full‑time all‑wheel drive. It can tackle just about anything. However, Terrain Response 2 suits drivers who want extra help. They may face changing conditions, multiple terrains, and various surfaces in a single trip.

If you love taking control, this feature preserves that feeling. You can choose whether you want it to automatically take over your terrain settings.
