The 1985 model year Range Rover received a more modern instrument pod adapted from the Austin Maestro and new door cards with walnut inlays, using door handles from the Austin Metro. The ZF four-speed automatic gearbox was upgraded and coupled to the LT230 transfer box. Range Rover of North America was established at Lanham, Maryland in late 1985, to prepare for the importing of factory-built cars to the United States through Baltimore and Long Beach.
