Tackle hills without a second thought. Our Gradient Release Control  (GRC) system guarantees smooth hill starts up and downhill: release the footbrake, and the latest generation Hill Descent Control engages smoothly. On re-starting a hill ascent, enjoy improved control with a progressive brake release. Anti-lock brakes and all-round large disc brakes enhance stability and your own driving confidence.

Hill Descent Control (HDC) with Gradient Release Control (GRC) are designed to apply varied brake and accelerator pressure to help regulate Torque and handling gradually and more smoothly.

The new 2010 Range Rover Sport features a further enhancement, engaging the system whenever the vehicle detects a sharp gradient. For example, if there's a loss of Traction or braking power, or over-acceleration as the vehicle goes down a steeper slope, the brake pressure is automatically adjusted to achieve a target rate of acceleration.
