Land Rover Updates Its Infotainment System

Just recently, Land Rover has updated its InControl Touch Pro infotainment system which enhances in-car connectivity by offering faster responses and more intuitive operation. Unveiled on the Range Rover Evoque Convertible, it is now available from the 2017 model year on all Evoque models and is standard for HSE Dynamic, HSE HSE Dynamic Lux and Autobiography.

The touchscreen works like a smartphone or tablet with pan, swipe, and pinch to zoom controls and offers a clearer 21:9 super-wide format with 1280×542 pixel resolution—an 80 percent increase over the Evoque’s standard eight-inch touchscreen.

Utilizing the Land Rover Route Planner smartphone app, destinations can be pre-planned and synced to the vehicle ready for easy selection. Touch Pro also provides door-to-door navigation-even after parking-handling over to the Route Planner phone app to show public transport and pedestrian directions to the final destination.

In Control Touch Pro can share the customers’ ETA with family and friends. When the driver runs later than expected, Touch Pro can automatically keep them informed by sending updates through SMS.

Extra features include high definition 3D maps and a bird’s eye view surround camera systems enabling drivers to see the vehicle from above. This is ideal for negotiating streets or congested parking spaces.
