Land Rover

The mid-size Land Rover Discovery is a bit different than most luxury SUVs. The regal utility vehicle is wholly capable off-road, while still treating passengers in utmost comfort. Currently, a choice of two turbocharged engines are available, a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder hybrid. 

The Discovery Sport is Land Rover’s entry point into the lineup. Like every regular Land Rover, the Discovery Sport can be had with a third row of seats, although space back there is tight. A single drivetrain is currently offered; a turbocharged four-cylinder paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission.

The flagship Range Rover is one of the most luxurious SUVs on sale. It treats passengers to the finest materials and technology inside, all while offering a smooth ride and fantastic isolation. A choice of engines are available, including a plug-in hybrid. For added choice, it can be had in two wheelbase lengths. 

The Range Rover Evoque is the entry level model in Land Rover’s upscale sub-brand. The compact SUV is more about luxury and style rather than off-road prowess. It competes against the likes of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Lexus NX.

If anywhere the splintering of JLR makes sense, it’s with the burgeoning Range Rover lineup.

Range Rover has long been considered the pinnacle of luxury SUVs, a symbol of affluence and aspiration. However, the automotive landscape has shifted dramatically as SUVs have become ubiquitous. High-end manufacturers such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Aston Martin have introduced their own utility vehicles. Even Lamborghini and Ferrari have come to play.

Growing up, Range Rover was the epitome of luxury SUVs. It was the vehicle active, wealthy folks drove, and many more aspired to. Nothing short of a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen made a statement like a Range Rover. 

In case you’ve missed it, the Land Rover brand recently split into three, distinct sub-brands. Land Rover of course is one of the three brands, as is Range Rover. The third sub-brand is Defender, making the iconic nameplate a model-line all to its own.

Land Rover has recently split the brand into three distinct sub-brands. There’s the posh Range Rover line, the more family-orientated Discovery duo, and of course the off-road ready Defender. Although the latter only includes a single model, the amount of choice the Defender offers is immense.

Almost seven years have passed since Land Rover first revealed the Range Rover Velar, a car meant to usher in a new era of design for the iconic British SUV brand.

Gruelling, Rewarding, Unforgettable

It seems like Land Rover pulled a switcheroo.

The middle-child of the Range Rover sub-brand sees smart updates for 2024, focusing on user experience.

Does Land Rover need a third three-row SUV? That’s just one of the many questions the new 2023 Land Rover Defender 130 presents.

Enjoying the nicer side of driving and saving fuel don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

A multi-hour drive up to the cottage is a prime testing opportunity for a Range Rover.

The Land Rover Discovery is the Rodney Dangerfield of the British brand’s lineup.

The latest Defender model will be the brand’s third three-row offering.

Few brands hold reputations for off-road prowess like Jeep and Land Rover.

Mild-hybrids, PHEV, and V8 versions arrive at launch; all-electric model debuts next year.

The market may be all about the SUV, but these ones are true to the origin of the breed.

When it first entered our common lexicon, the “Sport Utility Vehicle” moniker was reserved for wagon-style vehicles riding on traditional truck platforms.

Plug-in hybrid models arrive for 2023; full-electric model comes one year later.

The range-topper will come in fully-electric form … but not at launch.

Eight winners will be announced next week, including overall Car and Utility Vehicle of the Year.

Utility vehicles continued to dominate the sales charts this year—and here are the best ones.

SUVs and crossovers top the list, which could spell great deals if you’re in the market.

Tesla has more initial problems than any other brand—but that status comes with a big asterisk.

The world economy is feeling the crunch of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the automotive market isn’t free from it.

Land Rover has officially joined the PHEV wagon. The Range Rover Evoque and the Land Rover Discovery Sport will now be available as plug-in hybrids.

These 2019s are some of our favorite-looking machines.

The Land Rover Defender is back and more appealing than ever.

Land Rover is popular all over the world for its extremely capable and well-made SUVs, but you may not know where the brand originates, who makes Land Rover, or where it builds its crossovers and SUVs today.

It’s a real shame you can’t buy a new diesel-powered Volkswagen in the U.S. anymore.

It’s quiet at the top of the rain-soaked mud-and-gravel track that’s been carved out of the Grecian hillside. The auto start/stop system outfitted to the Range Rover Evoque SUV has killed the engine, leaving my co-driver, Ken, and myself to ponder the very existence of the path forward – obscured entirely, as it is now, by some of the thickest fog the Aegean can conjure and then hurl up at the peaks that frame this sliver of the Mediterranean.

The 2019 Range Rover Sport will be offered with two different versions of the automaker’s innovative new 3.0-liter mild hybrid inline-six engine.

This post was updated for 2019.

Crossovers and SUVs are hugely popular these days.

Under the hood of the Velar Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition is Jaguar Land Rover’s 5.0-liter supercharged V8, which is good for 542 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, this forced induction eight-cylinder will help the Velar hustle from 0-60 mph in a sports car-baiting 4.5s and reach a top speed of 170 mph. Land Rover also claims it will accelerate from 50-75 mph in just 2.6s.

We’re setting our sights on a whole new year of automotive excellence. We can’t wait to see what new cars debut in 2019, but there are a few that have already caught our eye. We can’t wait to drive these new cars or see them fully revealed. Here’s what we’re looking forward to:

The 2020 Land Rover Defender will be sold in the United States and Canada, the British automaker has announced.

Land Rover has sent an official teaser for the upcoming 2020 Defender.

The style-first Range Rover Evoque surprised when it arrived in 2011. Startlingly close to the LRX concept that preceded it, the three and five-door crossover’s sharp lines and small size helped carve a new segment into the crowded crossover class. Now it’s time for an all-new model. With more style, more tech, and more sustainable materials.

A unique Land Rover Discovery has entered active service with the Austrian Red Cross disaster response team.

Jaguar Land Rover will eventually phase out V8 engines in favor of high-performance versions of the upcoming Ingenium inline-six engine.

Velar is the fourth member of the Range Rover family. Size-wise, it slots in between the smaller Evoke and larger Sport model.

J.D. Power released it’s Initial Quality Study for 2018 this week.

Jaguar Land Rover is investing £3.7-million ($4.91-million USD) towards project Cortex.
