Everything that's an option on the lower trims is pretty much standard on the 2006 Land Rover LR3 HSE.  The upper end of the premium all-wheel drive SUV is fueled by a 300-hp, 4.4-liter V8 and 6-speed auto tran with manual mode.  The HSE adds automatic headlights, auto-dimming rearview mirror, xenon headlamps with wipers, rain-sensing wipers, and both front and rear foglights.  Larger 19-inch wheels with all-terrain tires add to the standard traction and stability control, electronic brakeforce distribution, Hill Descent, 4-wheel ABS, and dual front-side and side curtain airbags for all three rows.  The third row of seats is standard this year for the 2006 LRS HSE.  Adjustable air suspension and five Terrain Response settings adapt to different road conditions.  An optional locking rear differential can be added to the center differential.

Only found in the HSE are heated front and rear seats, memory settings for the power front seats, parking sensors, a navigation system, rear audio and climate control, Bluetooth, and carpeted floor mats.  Leather upholstery, wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls for the CD/MP3 changer, Harman Kardon speakers, a fixed and power sunroof, and leather trim are also standard.  Both second and third row split-fold 20/40/20 to expand the cargo area, which comes with a net and cover.  Satellite radio and a cooler console can be added.  Most owners want better gas mileage, and some report trouble with the transmission.  On the upside, they love the handling, off-road performance, and interior room.
