Four Generations of Range Rover Luxury SUVs Come Together

Friday, January 4, 2013


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.

Range Rover SDV8 Tows an Airstream 684 Series 2 from England to Morocco and Back

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.

Having already shown its off-road prowess, Land Rover wanted to demonstrate what it describes as "the class-leading towing ability" of the all-new 2013 Range Rover.

CAR Magazine Puts Together a Motley Crew in its Search for the World’s Best Car

Friday, December 28, 2012


Car of the year is so old hat; picking the world’s best car, on the other hand, is quite an ambitious undertaking. It’s an intriguing one, too, and probably that’s the reason CAR magazine decided to go ahead with it for their December 2012 issue cover story.

We bet the editors had a difficult time trying to narrow down the finalists to a reasonable number. In the end, they came up with five cars from different segments.

There’s a luxury SUV, a four-door, four-seat supercar, two luxury saloons and a two-door, four-seater supercar.

If you must have a Land Rover and for some reason the compact Evoque is too big for your needs and tastes, then you're out of luck in the real world (at least for now), but in the creative realm of art, British design student Joshua Picton has imagined a new entry-level model for the company's sub-brand Range Rover, aptly named the Coupe Concept.

2013 Range Rover HSE Riding on Vossen's Concave 22-Inch Rims [w/Video]

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.

Kahn Design's Lamborghini Green Pearl RS250 Range Rover Evoque

Friday, December 21, 2012


If it's attention you seek on the road, nothing says "look at me" more than a lime green finish for your ride, which in Kahn Design's case, is said to be a green pearl shade borrowed directly from Lamborghini's color palette.

Besides the eye-catching exterior color that's accentuated by the gloss black roof and center section of the bonnet, Kahn's Range Rover Evoque RS250 includes all the usual styling goods we've come to expect from the British tuner such as an aero kit with new bumpers, side sills, wheel arch extensions, spoilers, and a unique grille.

Sunday, December 2, 2012


The safety gurus at the European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP), an independent organization that assesses and scores vehicle safety, have released a new round of scores for 15 new models, many of which were presented at the recent Paris Motor Show.

With one exception, the new Dacia Lodgy minivan that Euro NCAP said "budgets on safety" as it was rated with a mediocre three stars out of five, all other cars tested were awarded five stars.

Euro NCAP criticized the Renault Group's decision to not offer the electronic stability control (ESC) as standard equipment on the Lodgy, while also noting that the Dacia model scored poorly for pedestrian and child protection.

Strut Gives the New 2013 Range Rover its First Styling Tune

Tuesday, November 27, 2012


The previous Range Rover is a favorite of the aftermarket industry and we can't see any reason why the same won't apply to the all-new 2013 version of Land Rover's luxury SUV that was revealed earlier this year.

Strut, a California-based company that bills itself as "creators of hand-crafted distinctive jewelry collections, wheels, and accessories for luxury automobiles," is the first, or at least, the first we have heard of, to announce a selection of aftermarket goods for the British SUV.

Breaking Bad: Warranty Direct Lists the 10 Least Reliable Cars of the Last 15 Years

Saturday, November 24, 2012


While we have no problem replacing everyday products such as DVD players and cell phones with new ones once they go bad, if the same thing happens to our car, it's a whole different story, and rightfully so, since automobiles are the second largest investment in most single family households.

Cars tend to be much more complex than most household appliance and face seriously more adverse conditions day-in, day-out. No matter how good the car is or how much carefully you maintain it, at some point, something is bound to go wrong.

Badass Range Rover Evoque Desert Warrior 3 Powered by BMW Diesel [w/Video]

Thursday, November 8, 2012


This is RaBe Race Car's Desert Warrior 3 (DW3), an off-road racer loosely based on the Range Rover Evoque, designed to compete first in the 2013 FIA Off Road Rally Championship and then in 2014 Dakar Rally.

Even though it uses a modified version of the regular Evoque's body, the Desert Warrior 3 relies on a BMW-sourced, 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six diesel engine producing 271hp (275PS) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of peak torque in standard guise and up to 345hp (350PS) when unrestricted, for its motivation.

Thursday, November 1, 2012


The wait for the regular 2013 Range Rover Mk4 might be over, but Land Rover is far from done with the series as the British firm has more models heading our way in the next year or so.

The ones we know are coming for sure are the more athletic looking and smaller in size Range Rover Sport, and on the other end of the spectrum, a more luxuriously equipped version of the Range Rover with a longer wheelbase (LWB).

In a recent trip to France, CarScoop reader and owner of the LandRoverHell website, Glenn B., spotted a group of camouflaged Land Rover prototypes and was able to rattle off some quick spy shots for us with his mobile phone.

Monday, October 1, 2012


While the F-Type was Jaguar's most anticipated new car launch at the 2012 Paris Auto Show, its sister company Land Rover had its own special premieres.

Land Rover Mulling a Smaller Crossover than the Evoque

Wednesday, September 19, 2012


There’s no denying that the Evoque, the most compact model ever to wear the Range Rover badge, has been a smash hit for the company, having sold more than 90,000 units since its launch last year.

In fact, JATO Dymanics reports that European sales of the Evoque, which is available as a three- and five-door, were 27,685 vehicles in the first half of 2012; that’s almost as much of the rest of Land Rover’s range combined (29,891). In order to meet demand, JLR’s Halewood plant is working around the clock for the first time ever in its 50-year history.

Jaguar-Land Rover to Celebrate James Bond's Golden Anniversary at Paris Auto Show [w/Video]

Tuesday, September 18, 2012


The last time we saw a Jaguar in a 007 flick it was 10 years ago in Die Another Day: the car was a previous-generation XKR convertible driven by the villain, while Bond drove an Aston Martin Vanquish.

It was the last Bond film starring Pierce Brosnan and at the time, both companies were part of Ford’s Premier Automotive Group. Nowadays, Daniel Craig has replaced Brosnan, the fictional secret agent’s storyline has been rebooted and Ford has since sold Jaguar and Aston Martin.
