The Range Rover series is regarded by many as the forefather of today's luxury SUVs with a rich and rather interesting history spanning more than four decades.

Naturally, much has changed since the introduction of the first generation model in 1970, which began its life as a mostly utilitarian three-door SUV and it wasn't until Land Rover presented the five-door version with added amenities such as air-conditioning and…carpet that it began taking shape as a luxury model.

Thursday, January 3, 2013


Just like Julius Caesar's wife must be above suspicion, all products from Land Rover and especially its flagship Range Rover SUV must be capable of conquering all sorts of terrain and hauling anything you throw at it, regardless if a substantial number of owners will never set foot on dirt.

Future Cars: Conceptualizing the 2014 Range Rover Sport

Wednesday, January 2, 2013


Drug dealers and gangsters unite (and of course the rest of us who like a sporty Rangie); the British off-road specialists are re-imagining their entrant to the hyper SUV market - that being the all-new Range Rover Sport.

The current generation of the Sport has been with us since 2005 as a sportier alternative to the larger Range Rover. It's been a hit with the trendy suburbanites and downtown corporate suites here and in Europe - although in the latter land they're mainly used for transporting hit-men and smugglers.

This is a lucrative market and Land Rover knows it, hence why the brand is expanding its lineup of luxury off-roaders.

Sunday, December 23, 2012


The creative minds at Land Rover may have found a way to shave up to nearly 1,000 pounds (~450kg, depending on the engine and equipment grade) on the new 2013 Range Rover over the model it replaces, but the premium SUV continues to have a very large footprint and as such, there's no denying that it looks better with bigger wheels.

Land Rover wants New Defender to be More Modern but Tough as Nails

Friday, December 21, 2012


Despite receiving some updates for 2013, which consist mainly of two new colors, new seats and an audio system, the Defender’s replacement is long overdue.

Land Rover, of course, knows this very well; as a matter of fact, it hopes that the next Defender will do for the brand, in terms of image and sales, what the Evoque has done for its Range Rover luxury sub-division: become a sales hit, bring new buyers to the brand and update its image.
