Land Rover's traditional flagship in 2006 was the V8-powered Range Rover, with a 305-horsepower 4.4-liter or a supercharged 400-horsepower 4.2-liter and with either engine featured a 6-speed automatic transmission, permanent four-wheel drive with 4-wheel electronic traction control, and a color, touch-screen for the DVD-based navigation system.

New for 2006 was the Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Though its body panels made it resemble the full-size Range Rover, the Range Rover Sport was actually based off the LR3 chassis with the Range Rover's engine options of the 305-horsepower 4.4-liter V8 or a supercharged 400-horsepower 4.2-liter V8.

In addition to the temporary disappearance of the entry-level Freelander, the Land Rover line was also changed by the replacement of the Discovery with a new model. Introduced in 2005, the LR3 replaced the classic Discovery in the Land Rover line. The LR3 was powered by either a 216-horsepower 4.0-liter single overhead cam V6 engine or a 300-horsepower 4.4-liter double overhead cam V8, and with either engine features such as a 6-speed automatic transmission, permanent four-wheel drive with 4-wheel electronic traction control and seating for seven.

This LR3 is equipped with numerous Land Rover accessories, including Body Side Moldings, an A-Frame Protection Bar and, most significantly, the Day Tent, which assembles in 10 minutes and can stand alone or fit the LR3's tailgate open or closed.
