First Look at the New Range Rover Evoque

Friday, August 13th, 2010

The Jaguar Land Rover Company under the Tata Motors of India is planning to roll out the new 5-door Evoque model under the Range Rover brand together with a slew of other engineering and cosmetic changes to its current Land Rover models.

The new Evoque will use the same Range Rover platform launched last week but will use narrower aperture doors in the rear and shorter doors on the front for a scheduled product launching in 2012.

The largest automobile maker in India seems to be on an overhauling binge for its Jaguar and Land Rover marques. This is an upbeat indication of its optimism on a resurgent world markets for luxury vehicles. It is also planning to get a revised Freelander model released, a reclassification of the Land Rover Defender line, a new engine for its Range Rover Sport SUV and a possibly streamlined Discovery diesel SUV stable.

The Range Rover Sport SUV slated for 2011 release will get a new engine built around a 3 liter 6-cylinder TDV6 diesel. Its 268 Bhp 3.6-liter 8-cylinder TDV8 will get replaced by a variant of the Jaguar twin-turbo 3-liter V6 petrol engine delivering 271 Bhp.

In a decision seen as controversial among its customers, the new and more powerful 305 Bhp 4.4-liter 8-cyclinder TDV8 will be fitted as the standard engine for the main Range Rover which has been anticipated by many of its customers to be used in a V8 Range Rover Sport.

That apparently, won’t become a reality. A lower 241 Bhp 3-liter TFV6 diesel with single turbo charging is more likely to be used for its entry level diesel Range Rover Sport.

The new Freelander slated for release in 2011 is now set for production with noticeable interior changes such as a new dashboard instrument panel design and gauges as well as a redesigned center console and switchgear that are expected to bring the Freelander cabin to a more luxurious level.

In addition, there will be more soft-touch synthetic parts with a closer affinity to the Land Rover Discovery SUV in terms of finish, fit and trim. Tata Motors expect these changes to offer customers of the new Freelander more value for the money.

For the Land Rover Discovery, product streamlining is reserved for its diesel line next year starting with an entry level 193 Bhp 2.7 liter 6-cylinder TDV6 engine getting phased out in favor of a new and more powerful 241 Bhp 3-liter TDV6. Its top of the line Discovery will now be powered by a twin-turbocharged TDV6 delivering 271 Bhp.

The company will also be reclassifying the classic Land Rover Defender line as a commercial vehicle in a move seen by automobile observers as being prompted by new and more stringent legal mandates on vehicle size and weight in the US and European markets. The reclassification, however, is not expected to result in any engineering, technical or cosmetic change to the current model, so far.

Freelander Gives up 4×4 and Goes Front Wheel Drive

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

The iconic Land Rover marque of all-wheel drive SUVs has just unveiled a new entry-level SUV, demoting its Freelander line into a two-wheel front wheel drive Freelander 2 eD4. It is expected to land in the markets as the most economical Land Rover SUV ever to come out of its factory.

Forgoing the brand’s all-terrain all wheel drivetrain in favor of what it claims to be a far more efficient FWD system, the new Freelander 2 for the model year 2011 gets some minimal interior and exterior changes and will be offered on a its diesel model only.

The baby Rover’s interior does get a reworked set of dashboard gauges, new seats, carpeting and a revised stowage, just a bit shy of the interior rehash in other 2011 Land Rover SUVs.

Outward, you need to look a bit closer. The 2011 Freelander 2 gets a new bumper cap with redesigned fog lamps and grille finish, enhanced headlights and taillights and new spoke patterns on its new set of alloy wheels.

The core of the changes is a redesigned 2.2 liter turbo diesel in the eD4 engine which manages to spew 150 bhp. It is expected to deliver improved fuel economy at 47.2 miles to a gallon while emitting a more environment friendly 158g/km of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

For comparative purposes, the preceding model only manages 42.2 mpg and 179h/km in carbon emission.

In the meantime, the 148 bhp 4X4 diesel version of the Freelander is introduced for the 2011 model year with similarly better emissions control and fuel mileage over its preceding 160 bhp model at 14% when fitted with an optional automatic gearbox or 8% when fitted with the standard manual gearbox.

There’s also a 187 bhp variant of the same turbocharged diesel engine mated to an automatic gear train joining the 2011 product range for its debut in the UK markets starting end of September. After that, the other eD4 models will enter the markets staring January 2011 with prices yet to be announced.

Speaking about its historic first departure from the 4-wheel drive configuration for the Freelander, Land Rover’s managing director Phil Popham commented that “A 2WD option is just one way in which we are developing our vehicles’ efficiency whilst adding to the Land Rover range and expanding our appeal to a broader group of customers. We will continue to make the ‘world’s finest all-terrain vehicles’ for those customers who require 4WD but will also now offer an alternative.”

Tata Motors, owners of the Land Rover marque must have made some long overdue market research that points to SUVs being used more on city streets than off roads. But that’s more the preferred practice with expensive upmarket SUVs like the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne, not with cheap entry level Freelanders.

Admittedly, the new FWD drive Freelander 2 should appeal to the youthful markets of city executives who want to look trendy on an SUV but without having to fork on their awful sticker prices. And they surely have little need for a 4X4 off-road trekking. The new Freelander 2 eD4 should fit the bill nicely.

Enjoying the LANDROVERmax Festival

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Britain’s iconic 4X4 off-roader gets a toast with the LANDROVERmax, dubbed as “UK’s ultimate festival for Land Rover lovers.” The event scheduled for the month of August, welcomes all types, models, colors, shapes and sizes of the 62-year old all-terrain, all-weather- all purpose 4X4 utility vehicle that is known as the father of the modern day sport utility vehicle or SUVs.

A Long Weekend for the Event

The LANDROVERmax event is expected to take place on a weekend stating on a Saturday, August 28 up to Monday August 30. Day tickets cost £14 if purchased on any of the event days for adults, but if you get them in advance, it will only cost £10. The long weekend promises to be a lot of fun combining camping, muddy entertainment and caravanning at the Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire. There will be a parade of classic Land Rovers over the years and will include demonstrations of Land Rover owner and driver skills such as winching, off-roading and stunt driving.

Event Activities

Visitors to the event are enjoined to come in with their Land Rovers of whatever vintage and style and include modern day Range Rovers, Discovery and Freelanders. They will have the rare opportunity to maneuver their own Land Rovers over an off-road terrain specially designed by the Land Rover Company and featuring what organizers promise to be an “exciting and challenging” course through wooded forests and hills. For Land Rover owners who don’t want their prized possession soiled, this may not be for them.

The off-road course will each be one-hour sessions and will cost participants £12 per course which include the benefit of expert Land Rover marshals deployed to offer advice and assistance on the proper handling the Land Rovers through the tricky circuitous terrain.

The editorial team of the Land Rover Monthly publication will be on hand at all times during the sessions to provide off-road restoration assistance such as vehicle repairs and mechanical advice as well as showcasing some of the Land Rover vehicles featured in its magazine.

An alternate activity of Land Rover fans will have tent-pitching on the side or taking along a Land Rover caravan for three to six nights starting at £20 per night. This is a value bargain at it already includes the entry ticket price to the LANDROVERmax shows.

A New Updated Range Rover for 2011

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Tata-owned Jaguar Land Rover has made same significant upgrades to the 2010 Range Rover models for next model year. Expect the new 2011 Range Rover to have at least two major core enhancements – a more powerful diesel engine and an all new 8-speed automatic model.

Revamping the Engine

The Range Rover SUV brand has always sported two engine variants, one petrol and another diesel. The well-regarded 3.6 litre V8 diesel engine already morphed into a heavily re-engineered 3-litre version in the V6 diesel that was adopted for 2010 Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover Sport models, including the Jaguar XJ and XF models with improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions. This time, the V8 goes into another revamp allowing it to overtake the V6.

The V8 capacity is now increased to 4.4 litres providing 313 horsepower and a torque of 700 Newton-metres. In addition, its combined cycle fuel economy gets improved to 30.1 mpg, making this model the first Range Rover to breach the 30 mpg limits in official road tests. At the same time, CO2 emissions fall by as much as 14% though still on the heft side at 253 grams per kilometre.

ZF 8-speed Automatic Transmission

The diesel engine gets mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission gear train which, like the previous 6-speeder, is sourced from the German gearbox specialist ZF. BMW has been using the same ZF 8-speeder on its flagship cars and SUV for a number of months now and Jaguar Land Rover is only too pleased to take the hint and play catch up even if the gear ratios make little sense on the road.

The new gearbox/engine allows the Range Rover diesel model to accelerate to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds and reach 130mph on the highway.

In the meantime, the current supercharged 5-litre petrol engine remains unchanged and will be offered for the 2011 model year along with the improved diesel model. It will continue to use the ZF 6-speed transmission gearbox. Both petrol and diesel models, however, will get an improved Terrain Response system exclusive to the Rover SUV line. It brings greater ease and manageability for less experienced Range Rover drivers to set its 4X4 drivetrain system to match any type of off-road conditions.

The new 2011 models will have small cosmetic changes as well as new equipment add-ons. Moreover, a specially accessorized 40^th anniversary limited edition in Autobiography Black will be offered next year to celebrate the launch of the Range Rover name in 1970.

Jaguar Land Rover Goes To China

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

It was just a matter of time. After getting a remarkable upsurge in sales of its Land Rover and Range Rover line, Tata-owned Jaguar Land Rover is finally coming to its senses with plans to manufacture its vehicles in China.

Auto industry pundits have long opined that its plans to assemble car in labor-cheap China are essential in establishing Tata’s recently acquired marque as a global player in the automotive industry.

JLR currently has six automotive engineering, manufacturing and assembly plants in the UK, notably its engineering and design centers at Whitley in Coventry and in Gaydon, its Land Rover body assembly and paint shop in Halewood, two Midland factories for Land Rover in Solihull and Jaguar in Castle Bromwich and at Browns Lane in Coventry.

Earlier, there have been specializations that with the improved revenue streams of the company, the planned pull-out and closure of its UK plants in the Midlands would be reversed. But Indian Owner, Tata Motors have been quick to pour cold water onto the speculation. The plans has been reaffirmed only last for either its Solihull or Castle Bromwich to close with a final decision sometime next year.

Tata had bought JLR from US auto giant Ford in 2008 for ₤1.7 billion and has been losing money eversince. Only in May did it see its investment into JLR experience a return to profitability after losing ₤280 million over the months preceding the turnaround.

JLR reported last week it made a profit before tax of ₤32 million in May which saw a 42.3% increase in sales of its Land Rover over the same month last year. China’s performance was particularly impressive with more than a doubling of its sales over last year at 104% increase.

JLR’s Chief Executive Carl-Peter Forster had unraveled its company’s expansion plans into China while announcing the creation of 1,000 more jobs in the UK, extolling its return to profit and agreeing to sell off Browns Lane veneer factory in Coventry and pulling out of the Browns Lane factory as well.

Prof. David Bailey of the Coventry University’s Business School opined that JLR’s planned expansion into China wont’ impact on its production in the UK for as long as there’s growth in sales and they’re expanding. He says that what is more important as that “they invest and bring in a new range of models.”

He admits that JLR simply has too many UK plants and that he would not be surprised that even if production ramps up “from 200,000 to 300,000, as they plan to do, they only need two factories in the UK.”

JLR is also planning to create 1,000 new jobs to work on the new Range Rover model to be developed at its Halewood factory in Liverpool which has 3,500 engineers while looking to close down on one of its Midlands plants. At the same, Prof Bailey opines that Carl Forster expects UK government support with the Conservative party expected to shift its tax credit to support smaller companies and with roughly ₤400 million R&D money going to the UK, JLR hopes the UK government does not cut them off.

Land Rover Defies the Global Economic Crunch with a 42% Sales Jump

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

India’s Tata Motors group has declared that its Land Rover total sales shot up to 42.3% in May against last year’s sales for the same month. It sold 12,181 Land Rover vehicles more than what was sold in the same period last year.

A corporate press statement released this week revealed that its global markets exhibited strong sales performances compared with those of May last year. Its current sales performance for May has been improving “consistently since launching its 2010 model year line-up.” It may have helped a lot that its new Land Rover models “are equipped with the latest, most technologically advanced and efficient features in all of Land Rover’s history.”

Its domestic market from premium utility vehicles in India contributed the largest share with sales reaching 64% growth with 3.040 units sold. Its North American markets followed with sales climbing to 2,935 units to register a 24% sales increase.

China was next registering a phenomenal 104% increase with 2,026 units sold with Italy following with a 25.9% growth for selling 1.133 units. Meanwhile in the UK, its Freelander 2 remains its best seller for the May with 60% sales improvement against the same period last year. The Range Rover line-up showed the highest rate of market growth in May with a 121% increase in vehicle registration.

In addition, sales of other Land Rover vehicles like the Discovery 4 also registered increases at 84%, the Range Rover at 58% and the Defender at 32% for May 2010.

What do all these reveal? Not that the global economic recession is over though a lot of recovery signs are being seen everywhere. But far from it. It only shows that the premium markets for luxury SUVs remain unperturbed by any kind of economic slowdown caused by the larger consumer markets retreating form any spending activity. That’s because rich people remain essentially rich to go on as if nothing bad is happening around them despite middle classes losing their jobs and spending capacities.

The Land Rover name, much more that of the Range Rover, is not exactly your typical middle class or mass market product. Mass market cars below a certain price point tend to suffer diminished sales and reflect the overall economic downturn because they are pitched to markets worst hit by the economic crisis that started in 2008. Royalties, celebrities and the landed gentries are hardly bothered by all the woes and depressing economics around them while they continue to spend on the luxuries their money can afford.

In short, premium markets are not price sensitive. Nor are they dependent on the overall state of the economy. Even in countries with severe economic meltdown, rich people simply import what they want or travel overseas to do their shopping. This is one of the many things savvy brand manufacturers have long taken advantage of by coming out with upscale product lines that cater to the rich and moneyed so they remain afloat even in time of recession.

The 2010 Range Rover Sport Gets Better

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

What do you do for an encore to something as ravishingly beautiful and powerful as the Range Rover Sport? Well, it doesn’t take that much imagination to see that there will always be something to make one to better itself. People who bought last year’s model won’t be beating their breast for not waiting for this one. But for sure, people who did procrastinate can now rush to get the 2010 model. Though we are pretty sure last year’s model will now have a less steep price tag than the $73,200 MSRP on the bare 2010 model.

What do you get for that price? A lot of Range Rover aura and all the oohs and aahs from onlookers as you glide down the road or get off-road are often too priceless to talk about price tags. But then, people who have been riding one for years are probably too jaded to savor them than when they first started. You still get that in today’s model.

More Power for the Powerful

But you also get options for a pair of new engines to bring the Range Rover Sport to a higher plane of performance. It also comes with some really functional cosmetics to distinguish it from its previous iteration.

Well on second look, the new engines are more a variant of the same banana – a 5 liter DOHC V8 that comes either normally aspirated or with supercharging. The normally aspirated variant delivers 375 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 367 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. Our test vehicle gets the supercharged variant which delivers 510 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 461 lb-ft torque at 2,500 rpm.

Is that an improvement? With last year’s supercharged engine dishing out a mere 400 hp, it’s a lot of improved power alright. The same goes for its naturally aspirated version which significantly exceeds its former version.

Forget about fuel efficiency. It’s still a pathetic 18.4 liters/km on city traffic and an even more pathetic 11.2 liters/km on the highway for the supercharged engine. But hey, people who can afford this baby have other things in mind than economize on fuel. It’s an aristocratic SUV that has no patience with peasant concerns.

But no matter, the new engines do benefit from today’s evolving green technologies and they are more efficient than their precursors, delivering more power without any perceptible penalty on your fuel. See? Even aristocrats can give a hoot.

More Styling to the Stylish

There’s a new front grill, if that matters to you. More significant is the new headlight and taillight configuration using LED lighting technology. That’s more functional than aesthetics as the new exterior lighting promises to be more power efficient while improving on its previous lighting system.

The exterior also gets new bumpers and air intake designs but the more cosmetic meat goes inside. The most obvious revision is in the dashboard with a cleaner instrumentation using less buttons and clutter. Dominating it is a touchscreen LCD display that takes over many of these controls and gauges with more control on the vehicles including its audio systems and HVAC.

Riding a Range Rover only makes you appreciate your status in life. Revised to deliver outrageous acceleration and speeds, it also pampers with its sybaritic comforts reserved for the regal and affluent only a luxury SUV can provide.

Range Rover Enters Middle Age

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Surviving six changes of ownership in its lifetime, the now iconic Range Rover SUV celebrates 40 years of its existence on the road this week. It was on the 17^th of June 1970 when British Leyland launched the first generation Range Rover off-roader as a more comfortable and upscale version of its already famous Land Rover that was scheduled to end its line. The Range Rover remains in production to this day

It didn’t start out as a luxury 4X4 and had relatively spartan appointments by modern standards, but the first Range Rover was a landmark in the emerging Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) category of road vehicles that would soon see a marriage of luxury road sedan and sporting off-road 4X4 utility vehicle. It had the seeds to become the world’s first true “luxury” 4X4 off and on the on the road and became a sensation as a British icon on the road and earn the name today as the Range Rover Classic.

Even from the start, the first generation Range Rover carried its signature squarish exterior and formal stance inherited from the Land Rover’s rather upright and very British demeanor. It only had simple vinyl seats with molded rubber for its floors and plastic dashboards you can wash with hose. Features that would define it as a luxury SUV like air conditioning, power assisted steering, carpeting, leather/cloth seats and interior wood trims were only fitted much later in its 25 year of production.

Land Rover’s Managing Director Phils Popham has this to say about its Range Rover line. “It’s really 4 vehicles in 1. It’s a luxury motor car, a leisure car that can go anywhere over highways and no-ways, a high performance long distance tourer and a cross country utility vehicle.”

The “father” of the Range Rover line, Charles Spencer King, a former engineering chief of the company recalls that the Range Rover was designed “to combine the comfort and on-road finesse of a Rover saloon with the off-road muscle of a Land Rover. Nobody had done it before and it seemed worth the try as Land Rover was in need of a fresh new product.”

1995 saw the next generation Range Rover enter the markets with an updated Rover V8 engine and the option to use BMW’s V6 turbo diesel with the first electronically controlled diesel injected engine for the brand. Needless to say, it was at this time that the marque went out of British hands into Bavaria’s premier car company BMW that promptly gave it more “German” engineering. It was positioned way above the Land Rover Discovery and was more luxurious than the Mercedes Benz G-wagen.

By this time, the Range Rover name has firmly etched it enviable place as a topnotch luxury 4X4 that commanded a premium anywhere it was sold. In 2002, the new Land Rover owner Ford launched the 3^rd generation SUV flagship initially developed under BMW. Today, the Land Rover and range Rover marques are owned by the Tata Motors Group and maintain its factories in Solihull, England. By the end of 2010, there will be a new Range Rover “baby” to debut at the Paris Motor Show.

It is interesting to recall the roots of the Range Rover in the context of its selling price. You could have one for £1,998 in 1970. Today, you need to shell out £66,095.for a base model.

Off Road, On Road Excellence in Range Rover L322

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

After several change in ownership, the Land Rover is now with the multinational Tata Motors of India. The change in the hands did not diminish the Land Rover’s leadership when it comes to off road technology. On the other hand, it has managed to marry this tough badge with distinction in design and elegance. Balancing both aspects has been effortless for Land Rover and has successfully produced automobiles that are both powerful and beautiful.

Off Road Excellence

The Range Rover L322 comes from a family that has a history of off-road durability. Its famous brother, the Defender continues to serve military and business fleets that deal with inclement weather and unforgiving terrains. It is also said to be the Queen’s choice of wheels when she has to drive around and inspect her estate in Balmoral.

1970 marked the coming into being of the Range Rover. An off-road that is meant to also provide the comfort and elegance sought after by an emerging crop of leisure off roaders. So far, there had been three generations of the Range Rovers. The first generation vehicles are referred to as the Range Rover Classic which sports the now defunct box shaped body. The Classics are now sought after cars due to their durability and iconic status in the motoring world.

The name “P38A” was given to the second generation of Range Rovers to give it a distinction from the classics. The Range Rover L322 is the most recent and the current generation of Range Rovers. The current version is equipped with the standard off road, all wheel drive that is characteristic of Land Rover cars, as well as modern technology expected of today’s SUVs. The Range Rover’s imposing mass also exude power and safety and is substantiated by the Land Rover off road technology acquired through years of off road excellence.

On Road Elegance

The Range Rover was originally a car that is meant to work hard in off road conditions while providing comfort and style demanded by car buyers. True to its tradition, the latest Range Rover L322 is a mix of traditional off road power and modern day posh that is suitable for both the harsh roads and uptown establishments. The newest version was given a face lift with a better looking and wider car grille, rear bumper and LED head lights and tail lights.

Skin deep, the newest Range Rover L322 has two new engines that are designed to increase fuel efficiency and lessen carbon emission. It has a monocoque structural frame for easier handling as well as four corner suspension that allows ride height adjustments depending on the terrain. It runs on automatic transmission.

A touch of modernity on the dash board is evident in the liquid crystal display (LCD) in lieu of the gauges that used to grace the dashboard of older cars. An impressive multi camera system is also integrated in the interior. It gives the driver a detailed visual around the vehicle and is meant to help minimize potential accidents.

The Ultimate All Terrain Vehicle: Range Rover Sport

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

The imposing built of the Range Rover Sport belies its true nature. Like an agile athlete, it is surprisingly light footed despite its bulk. It combines posh looks with dauntless off road capabilities. Car buyers looking to project a posh image and at the same own a utility vehicle that works hard should turn to this latest Range Rover variant. The All Terrain System is its most outstanding feature but there is more to this car than you would think before reading this.

Better Engine Power

Beneath the imposing exterior and big brother look, the Range Rover Sport is closer to the Discovery. Like the Discovery, it has a monocoque chassis and double wishbone suspension that accounts for better ride and more manageable driving. The latest of the Range Rovers has a 242 bhp 3.0 liter twin turbo diesel engines.

These were developed in house with partner company, Jaguar. With this horsepower underneath, the Range Rover no longer have to play second fiddle to other bands dominating the SUV market.

The diesel make utilizes sequential turbochargers that provide smoothly flowing power and torque by delivering a huge 500Nm from idle and 600Nm when it gets going. The gas engine pumps 625Nm aided by its twin-vortex supercharger and advanced variable camshaft timing system. Both engines are considered to be among the best power generators in the world today.

Truly All Terrain

The Range Rover Sport also features a six speed automatic gearbox that has been improved to facilitate faster shifting and take advantage of the better engine torque that is generated by the latest models. The gearbox also has an intelligent Sport mode that adapts to driving styles of users. The Adaptive Dynamics System continually optimizes the settings according to road conditions to achieve the best possible degree of comfort. So if you want a car that is good on road and works hard off road, the Range Rover Sport is for you.

It has the standard Terrain Response System that helps to get the best out of the vehicle as it cruises whether on road or off road. Having this is like having a driving expert sitting beside you as you drive. There are five terrain settings to choose from via a rotary knob.

One is for general diving condition which you commonly use when driving leisurely. When the driving gets tough, there is one for slippery conditions dubbed as “Grass/Gravel/Snow”, then there three off road situations called “Mud and Ruts”, “Sand” and “Rock Crawl”. Now, here’s a truly all terrain vehicle from Land Rover.

Love the Environment

Environmental concerns need not be a reason to forego the joys of leisurely driving. Land Rover made sure that you get a very efficient engine given the Range Rover Sport’s size and capabilities. The 3.0 liter engine drives at 30 miles per gallon (mpg) and with CO2 emissions of 243g/km. The 5.0 liter variant is less thrifty at 39 mpg and emits 353 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
