Spied: New Range Rover Ready to Give Birth to Long Wheelbase Version


What looks like an impregnated 2014 Range Rover in these photos is in fact a new, upcoming addition to Land Rover's flagship SUV.

It's the Long-Wheelbase (LWB) model that adds around 150mm (5.9 inches) to the regular Range Rover's already generous 2,922mm (115 inches) wheelbase, pushing the overall length to over 5.15 meters (202.8 inches) and creating a King-Size, lounge like area for the rear passengers.

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.

Range Rover Turned into Stretch Limousine with a Strange Hump on its Roof


The previous generation Land Rover Range Rover is not exactly a car that lacks interior space or luxury. However, there are people in Dubai that beg to differ, as the following video proves.

The footage shows a very long Range Rover – probably at least 1 meter (39 inches) longer than the standard model – sitting in the parking lot of a hotel in Dubai. The driver of the luxury SUV turned limousine is separated from the passenger area, which is hidden from curious eyes by the darkened windows.

MT Goes Off-Road in the New Range Rover and Mercedes’ G-Wagen


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. Now that a few months have passed, they are starting to be seen parked up along boulevards of posh neighborhoods all over the world – seeing one is still an event, but as with the old model, it will eventually become commonplace.

The Range Rover in the video below uploaded by YouTube user Patrick3331 has no less than 57,412 coins attached to its bodywork!

2014 Range Rover Gains New 335HP 3.0-liter Supercharged V6


Less than three months after the all-new 2013 Range Rover hit U.S. shores and Land Rover has already released a 2014 model, which brings a new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine to replace the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8, with sales to begin this summer.

Land Rover said this new engine will be offered in "key global markets which favour smaller capacity petrol engines", which sounds kind of strange if you consider that the V6 will be offered in North America but not in the United Kingdom…

Four Generations of Range Rover Luxury SUVs Come Together


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.
