Is the All-New Range Rover Sport So Good That It Makes the Range Rover Pointless?

The new Range Rover Sport has the same off-road capabilities as the larger Range Rover upon which it is based, while being quicker and more agile on the road. Moreover, it’s more economical too.

Carisma Says it Has Crafted the Most Luxurious Land Rover Defender Interior Ever

You probably remember the Mercedes-Benz Viano that Carisma Auto transformed into a very luxurious van. Now, for its latest conversion, the company chose a car that normally doesn’t have anything that could be described as luxurious – we’re talking about the rugged Land Rover Defender.

As the UK-based aftermarket specialist usually operates, the exterior of the Defender remained untouched – which is why we don’t get to see it in the gallery (either that, or the owner wanted his or her 4x4 to remain anonymous).

EVO Does First Review of All-New 2014 Range Rover Sport

I never really understood the purpose of old Range Rover Sport, with its dash set so high inside the cabin, that they were forced to paint a black line on the lower part of the windscreen to mask it off. I never got why they used Discovery underpinnings, and still called it a Range Rover, despite the fact that anybody who has been in/driven one of those will tell you there is a big difference in the way they feel/make you feel.

Showroom Flood Drowns F-Type, Along With Other Jags and Land-Rovers in Germany

Many people in Germany (and Hungary) have been forced to abandon their homes and head for higher ground, due to severe flooding that is ravaging parts of the continent. Around 23,000 people were forced to flee their homes in the German city of Magdeburg, and in Central Europe, a reported 12 people have died ever since the heavy rains started last week.

Learn How to Operate an Old Land Rover With This Period Video Guide

The new Range Rover represents the culmination of decades-worth of off-roading experience wrapped up in a raised limousine body and filled with electronic gizmos and leather.

The 2002 to 2012 Range Rover was such a capable SUV, that one wondered how they could really improve the formula for the all-new generation model, which made its debut in September of 2012, at the Paris motor show.

Sure it may have evolved considerably from its Series I predecessor of 1948, but it's shape is instantly recognizable. Now, in the wake of a modern replacement, the Defender as we all know it, is being given another home, on the peaceful island of Sri Lanka, just off the southern tip of India.

Range Rover Evoque to be Kept Fresh with Frequent Updates and Get More Spin-Offs

The Range Rover Evoque is a very special kind of vehicle, simply because like the Renault Megane RS, it looks like a concept that somebody allowed onto the public roads. The plush British crossover looks so new and modern, that you'd think the manufacturer would have to tone it down for actual production – for that reason alone, we think the Evoque is a powerful statement of a car to be seen in.
