On the other hand, Land Rover lists the following for the Range Rover:

"The electronically controlled four-speed transmission works closely with
the three open differentials, two-speed transfer case and a viscous coupling
as the heart of what we believe is the finest Permanent four-wheel drive
system available."

Not that I care. The Audi is still far better in the snow...but the Range
Rover probably has an edge offroad :)

(given its clearance, traction control, approach/departure angles, and low
range) :)
