2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Midsize SUVs

First introduced as a 2006 model, the Range Rover Sport shares a platform with the LR4. The supercharged model sports 15-inch discs with six-piston calipers in the front, and 14.3-inch discs with single-piston calipers in the rear.

Because the Range Rover Sport was designed with strong on-road performance in mind, it features the "Dynamic Response" suspension system delivers flat cornering, tight body control, and sharp steering response.

Not much changes for the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. It's tempting to dismiss the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport as Land Rover Lite, a luxury SUV posturing as the progeny of a line of vehicles with an impeccable off-road heritage. In reality, the Range Rover Sport shares more in common with the former Land Rover LR3 than the top-of-the-line Range Rover. The Sport is almost 8 inches shorter than the Range Rover and offers nearly 2.5 inches less ground clearance. Even if Range Rover Sport owners never go off-road, the Sport is more willing to dirty its boots than most of its competitors.

The 2011 Range Rover Sport is a five-passenger SUV available in HSE and Supercharged trim levels.
A rear-seat entertainment system is available for all models, but adaptive cruise control is optional on the Supercharged only.

Range Rover Sport HSE models are powered by a 5.0-liter V8 that produces 375 hp and 375 pound-feet of torque. All Range Rover Sport models feature full-time four-wheel-drive with a two-speed transfer case and Terrain Response. Properly equipped, Range Rover Sport models can tow up to 7,700 pounds.

The 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is equipped with antilock disc brakes (more powerful Brembo brakes are fitted to the Supercharged model), hill-descent control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Supercharged models equipped with an adaptive cruise control system also benefit from a collision mitigation system. Although the Range Rover Sport doesn't radiate the same Old World luxury charm as the more traveled top-line Range Rover, it still feels rich and contemporary. Even though the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is billed as a more nimble sibling to the top-of-the-line Range Rover, it still weighs about 5,500 pounds, about 1,000 pounds more than an Infiniti FX50.

The 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Midsize SUVs. Reviewers say that the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport offers a great combination of off-road capability and on-road handling and adds an interior that’s pure luxury.

The 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport borrows components from a few other models in Land Rover’s stable. The Range Rover Sport also combines Land Rover’s famous off-roading abilities with sportier, pavement-tuned handling. Unfortunately, one of the Range Rover Sport’s only drawbacks comes from its Land Rover parent as well.

2011 Range Rover Evoque Review

the Range Rover Evoque prototype
What exactly is this new Range Rover Evoque?
The Evoque Range Rover Evoque takes the Range Rover blueprint of a luxurious, capable 4x4, and shrinks it to a footprint fractionally smaller than the new Ford Focus’s. Whereas the heavy Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models necessitate V6 and V8 power, the Evoque’s compact size and a stringent weight optimisation programme deliver a weight range from 1595 to 1700kg.

Enough preamble: let’s drive!
CAR tested a four-wheel drive Range Rover Evoque prototype running the high-output diesel, which produces 187bhp and 310lb ft of torque, and returns 50mpg and emits 149g/km of CO2.
The demonstration drive showcased the Evoque’s Magneride adaptive damping system. The computer-controlled system can change the damping force up to 50 times a second; Land Rover claims third-generation Magneride outperforms the standard damping system at both extremes of the dynamic and comfort spectrums. The Range Rover Evoque steering is nicely judged, light and effortless and reminiscent of a Jaguar’s. Land Rover says 0-60mph takes 9.5secs, but it feels a little quicker.

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-door, 2012

 

 

 

The exciting 5-Door version of the all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque makes its global public debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17, 2010.
With its stylish and sporting appearance, enhanced by extra practicality and greater family appeal, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door joins the stunning coupé model to create a highly desirable line-up that will transform the premium compact SUV segment.

Like the coupé, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door remains faithful to the spirit of the groundbreaking Land Rover LRX concept car, offering an innovative new interpretation of the original cross-coupé design.
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door also stays true to the core values of the Range Rover brand, providing premium levels of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and renowned Land Rover all-terrain capability, but in a more compact package.

Commitment to sustainability
With the same compact footprint and advanced technologies as the coupé model, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door reinforces Land Rover's commitment to environmental sustainability. The Evoque is positioned as the smallest, lightest, most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever.

To deliver optimum efficiency, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door features lightweight construction techniques and offers the choice of a front-wheel drive variant. A new range of state-of-the-art petrol and diesel engines comes with direct injection and stop-start.

Coupé style and 5-Door versatility
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door offers an exciting new interpretation of the LRX concept car design, combining the dramatic stance and dynamic appeal of the original cross-coupé with the enhanced functionality offered by a 5-Door format.

The more capacious interior of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door has not been achieved by enlarging the compact footprint of the coupé model: the overall length and width remain identical.
Like the coupé, smart design, meticulous engineering and clever packaging has ensured that the Evoque 5-Door delivers the core Range Rover values of luxury, refined performance and all-terrain capability while remaining true to the spirit of the LRX concept design.

Interior quality and versatility

The Evoque will be the first Range Rover to offer customers a choice between a full-time four-wheel-drive system, which delivers outstanding performance and traction on all surfaces, and a low carbon, front-wheel-drive option for further enhanced fuel economy.
The Range Rover Evoque's formidable all-terrain potential is enhanced by the latest version of the company's signature Terrain ResponseTM system.

Powertrains
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door shares its turbocharged powertrain line-up with the Coupé model. The state-of-the-art diesel and petrol engines offer smooth and responsive performance, blending four-cylinder efficiency with six-cylinder refinement and power.

2011 Land Rover LR2 Reviews

The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is an SUV with a 3.2L V6 engine, capable of putting out 230 hp, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Safety features are ample for the Land Rover LR2, and include antilock brakes, electronic traction control, dynamic stability control, cornering brake control, emergency brake assist, seven airbags, including side curtain airbags, and roll stability control, which is an ideal feature for anyone considering taking the LR2 off road.

The 2011 Land Rover LR2 does not represent a great departure from previous years' models of the LR2, with its trademark angular design, large square front headlamps, front fender vents, and slightly more rounded edges to soften the extreme linear design of years past. Performance-wise, Land Rover has always had a reputation for high quality, and the LR2 is no exception.

The Land Rover LR2 has an excellent track record in terms of both maintenance and resale value. With a host of safety features, including anti-lock brakes, emergency brake assist and 7 airbags, the Land Rover is suitable for driving families anywhere. Although not particularly fast, the Land Rover is reliable.

Larger Land Rovers have become symbols of success, but they've also become increasingly expensive. The company's answer is the 2011 Land Rover LR2.

The LR2 attempts to deliver the luxury, prestige and relative off-road prowess of the brand's flagship models in a more city-oriented and pocketbook-friendly package. Pleasingly, the LR2 lives up to Land Rover's famous off-road heritage with decent ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive and plenty of electronic aids to help provide superior traction in challenging terrain. Unfortunately, most other newer models have surpassed the 2011 Land Rover LR2 in terms of all-around competence and performance.

The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is a small luxury crossover SUV available in one trim level.
Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, foglights, a dual-panel sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, perforated leather seats, power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless ignition/entry, a trip computer and a nine-speaker sound system with a six-CD changer and an auxiliary audio jack.

Selecting the HSE package gets you adaptive xenon headlights, satellite radio, Bluetooth and driver seat memory settings. The Climate Comfort package adds a heated windshield, heated washer jets and heated front seats. The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-6 that produces 230 hp and 234 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard. The 2011 Land Rover LR2 comes with a decent complement of safety features that includes antilock brakes with brake assist, traction and stability control, roll stability control, hill-descent control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain and thorax airbags and a driver's knee airbag.

The 2011 LR2's smooth, luxurious ride is typical for a Land Rover. The LR2 easily bests the competition when it comes to off-road performance, thanks in large part to the model's ground clearance and Terrain Response system.

The LR2 gets a few changes for 2011. The Land Rover LR2 comes only in HSE trim, but you can add the HSE Plus and HSE Lux packages for more features. The LR2 comes standard with all-wheel drive

Land Rover Freelander 2, 2011

Land Rover Freelander 2, 2011

 

 

The 2011 Land Rover Freelander 2 model range, on sale in the UK from the end of September 2010, benefits from a new 2.2-litre diesel engine available with either 150PS or 190PS outputs, a new look exterior plus interior alterations including new instrument dials and a new Premium Pack option.

Land Rover's new turbo diesel engine is available in the 4WD TD4 150PS model featuring a manual transmission and intelligent Stop/Start technology as standard (an automatic gearbox without Stop/Start is available as a cost option), or the new SD4 model delivering 190PS (available in automatic transmission only).

This new engine is quieter, more efficient and both derivatives have 20Nm more torque than the outgoing engine. This means the 2011 Freelander 2 offers improved engine response and more mid-range strength for towing. CO2 emissions have been significantly reduced to 165g/km and 185g/km respectively with corresponding fuel economy benefits.

However, despite reductions in consumption and emissions, there has been no compromise in performance. The flagship 190PS Land Rover Freelander SD4 accelerates from rest to 60mph in 8.7 seconds with an increased top speed of 118mph. The Land Rover Freelander 150PS TD4 manual and automatic versions match the performance of their predecessors.

As well as being upgraded from EU4 to EU5, both versions have a new variable geometry turbocharger and have been extensively re-calibrated to deliver new levels of power, meet emissions regulations and reduce CO2 emissions. They are fitted with a catalysed diesel particulate filter as standard and are now compatible with 10 per cent biodiesel rather than 5 per cent.

As an addition to the Land Rover Freelander 2 range, Land Rover will also offer customers a 2WD derivative, available in the UK from January 2011. This will be called the Land Rover Freelander 2 eD4 and it will be the most efficient Land Rover ever produced, with fuel consumption of 47.2mpg combined, and CO2 emissions of just 158g/km.

This groundbreaking Land Rover Freelander 2 eD4 is powered by the new 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, delivering 150PS. It is only available with a six-speed manual transmission featuring Stop/Start technology as standard.

The exterior of the latest Land Rover Freelander 2 gets a new look for 2011. Marked out by a new front bumper assembly incorporating new front fog lap bezels, a new front grille finish, improved headlights and tail lamps, new full width tailgate appliqué and new 18- or 19-inch alloy wheel styles. There are three new colour schemes for 2011 Kosrae Green, Baltic Blue and Fuji White.

Inside the cabin, Land Rover's design team have revised the instrument dials, and there are four new seat styles with the option of a Premium Pack that includes Windsor Leather upholstery, an 8/6 way electric seat, plus premium carpet mats and covered centre stowage.

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, 2011

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, 2011

 

 

The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has turned the much-acclaimed LRX concept car into reality, faithfully capturing the spirit of its landmark cross-coupé design.

Evolution of Range Rover design
The all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque takes its inspiration directly from the LRX concept car, which drew worldwide acclaim for its exciting new interpretation of classic Range Rover design cues.
Smart design in conjunction with meticulous engineering allowed the spirit of the LRX concept to be turned into reality without compromising the core Range Rover values of interior luxury, refined performance and all-terrain capability.

Impeccably crafted luxury interior
Beneath its dramatic exterior, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque provides customers with an impeccably crafted luxury cabin, incorporating the premium quality materials and elegant design expected of a Range Rover interior.

Key product innovations that drive its green performance:
    * Compact size - at 4350 mm, the Range Rover Evoque is 430 mm shorter than a Range Rover Sport
    * Lightweight technologies - advanced materials used throughout the body and chassis
    * Efficient powertrain - state-of-the-art petrol and diesel engines, with high-efficiency features such as direct injection and stop-start
    * Low CO2 technologies - including Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS), smart regenerative charging and optimised transmissions
    * Availability of front-wheel-drive - reducing weight and minimising driveline losses
    * Recycling and re-use - maximising use of sustainable and recycled materials, plus optimising end-of-life recyclability

Distinctively Evoque
Land Rover designers and engineers have developed a host of distinctive and innovative features, to ensure the Range Rover Evoque stands out from the crowd.
Lighting plays a big part in the Evoque's distinctive appeal. First to catch the eye is the powerful signature graphic in the front running lights, created by innovative LED light-blade technology. A similar graphic is repeated in the LED rear lights, with their jewel-like 3D petal design.

There are three main vehicle design themes, each of which has its own distinctive character, exterior treatment and carefully co-ordinated interior package. The three themes are:
    * Pure - combining the stunning concept-car exterior with a stylish, clean interior in neutral colours to highlight the pure, simple forms of the cabin architecture. Soft-touch, wrapped materials on the major surfaces contrast with the real-metal brushed aluminium trim.
    * Prestige - ultimate Range Rover luxury, combining a bespoke exterior that includes unique, 19-inch wheels and sparkling metallic details with an indulgent interior that is almost entirely leather-wrapped. Luxurious duo-tone colour schemes are embellished by premium leather, twin-needle stitching and real wood and metal finishes.
    * Dynamic - bold exterior with 20-inch wheels and unique bumpers, sills, grille and tailpipes for a more assertive, confident stance. Contrasting roof and spoiler colour is a no-cost option, while the premium sports interior offers a darker environment with splashes of bright contrast colour, together with perforated leather seats and unique sports detailing.

Other features available to Land Rover Range Rover Evoque:
    * Park Assist for automated parallel parking
    * Blind Spot Monitoring system
    * Surround Camera System with five digital cameras, including a reversing system
    * Full dual-zone automatic climate control, featuring a Timed Climate park heater facility
    * Hard-drive navigation system
    * DAB/FM/AM/Sirius tuners, with hard-drive virtual 10xCD multiplayer
    * Digital and Satellite TV, and DVD playback
    * Rear-seat entertainment package, with eight-inch video screens, digital wireless headphones and touch-screen remote control
    * Keyless entry system and powered tailgate
    * Adaptive headlamps with auto headlamp dipping

Classic Range Rover design cues, with a bold new interpretation
The Evoque's bold exterior features exciting new interpretations of classic Range Rover design cues, including the signature clamshell bonnet, the floating roof and the solid 'wheel-at-each-corner' stance.

Modern and sporting premium interior
The Evoque's interior takes the strong, clean architecture and premium quality materials of a traditional Range Rover, and applies them in a more contemporary and sporting fashion.
As in larger Range Rovers, the centrepiece of the cabin is the bold intersection between the solid horizontal elements of the instrument panel and the powerful vertical lines of the centre console.

The exquisite quality and craftsmanship of the materials is highlighted by the very contemporary, clean treatment of the interior surfaces, including the flush treatment of the air vents and horizontal roller shutter in the centre console.
Housed under a compact curved binnacle, the instrument cluster enhances the sporting, premium feel of the interior. The twin dials have an expressive three dimensional form with chunky illuminated chaplets and needles, and are set deep in sporty circular housings finished with bright chrome rims.

Range Rover craftsmanship, and Range Rover materials
The Evoque delivers Range Rover levels of quality and craftsmanship in every detail of the car. Particular attention has been given to selecting only the best, premium quality materials, and applying those materials with impeccable taste and care.

Perhaps the most visible example is the luxurious wrapped finish of the upper instrument panel. High series models use premium Windsor leather - beautifully soft high-grade hides which have been hand-picked for their exceptional touch and appearance - impeccably hand-finished with twin-needle stitching.

The fascia mid-section is also leather wrapped; this, together with the lavish leather trim on the door panels and seats, creates the ultimate luxury ambience. In total, over 10m2 of leather - equivalent to more than three full hides - is required to complete each vehicle. Every aspect of the stitching, even down to the size and shape of the needle, is also specified by Range Rover experts, to guarantee an immaculate finish, every time.

Even on models where leather is not specified, the instrument panel is still wrapped with a premium quality, soft-touch textured material with twin-needle stitching, for a sumptuous interior experience.

In bold contrast to the opulent leather and soft-touch surfaces, strong visual highlights are provided by authentic metal finishes on the horizontal strip on the fascia, the surrounds to the vent controls, and the striking curved elements each side of the centre console. Cold to the touch and exquisitely crafted, the metal finishes are a tactile and visual reminder of the superior interior quality.

The fastidious attention to detail in every facet of the Range Rover Evoque's construction can also be illustrated by the thousands of man hours spent finessing the way that all visible parts fit together, ensuring an impeccable quality and consistency of finish.

Turning the LRX Concept into reality
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is completely faithful to the style of the stunning LRX Concept, capturing its design almost to the millimetre.

Some of the features that helped to preserve the LRX Concept design include:
    * All-new body structure and suspension subframes, delivering the sleek, low profile of the LRX while providing excellent interior space and the traditional elevated Command driving position, with the full wheel travel required for comfort on- and off-road
    * Adoption of ultra-high-strength Boron steels in the A- and B-pillars to retain the slim profile of the pillars without compromising strength or safety
    * Detailed optimisation of the interior package including pedal positions, fuel tank height and door structures to deliver generous interior legroom and headroom while retaining the low coupé roofline
    * Integrating the radio antennae into the rear spoiler, to avoid the fitment of exterior aerials

The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has turned the much-acclaimed LRX concept car into reality, faithfully capturing the spirit of its landmark cross-coupé design.

Evolution of Range Rover design
The all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque takes its inspiration directly from the LRX concept car, which drew worldwide acclaim for its exciting new interpretation of classic Range Rover design cues.
Smart design in conjunction with meticulous engineering allowed the spirit of the LRX concept to be turned into reality without compromising the core Range Rover values of interior luxury, refined performance and all-terrain capability.

Impeccably crafted luxury interior
Beneath its dramatic exterior, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque provides customers with an impeccably crafted luxury cabin, incorporating the premium quality materials and elegant design expected of a Range Rover interior.

Key product innovations that drive its green performance:
    * Compact size - at 4350 mm, the Range Rover Evoque is 430 mm shorter than a Range Rover Sport
    * Lightweight technologies - advanced materials used throughout the body and chassis
    * Efficient powertrain - state-of-the-art petrol and diesel engines, with high-efficiency features such as direct injection and stop-start
    * Low CO2 technologies - including Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS), smart regenerative charging and optimised transmissions
    * Availability of front-wheel-drive - reducing weight and minimising driveline losses
    * Recycling and re-use - maximising use of sustainable and recycled materials, plus optimising end-of-life recyclability

Distinctively Evoque
Land Rover designers and engineers have developed a host of distinctive and innovative features, to ensure the Range Rover Evoque stands out from the crowd.
Lighting plays a big part in the Evoque's distinctive appeal. First to catch the eye is the powerful signature graphic in the front running lights, created by innovative LED light-blade technology. A similar graphic is repeated in the LED rear lights, with their jewel-like 3D petal design.

There are three main vehicle design themes, each of which has its own distinctive character, exterior treatment and carefully co-ordinated interior package. The three themes are:
    * Pure - combining the stunning concept-car exterior with a stylish, clean interior in neutral colours to highlight the pure, simple forms of the cabin architecture. Soft-touch, wrapped materials on the major surfaces contrast with the real-metal brushed aluminium trim.
    * Prestige - ultimate Range Rover luxury, combining a bespoke exterior that includes unique, 19-inch wheels and sparkling metallic details with an indulgent interior that is almost entirely leather-wrapped. Luxurious duo-tone colour schemes are embellished by premium leather, twin-needle stitching and real wood and metal finishes.
    * Dynamic - bold exterior with 20-inch wheels and unique bumpers, sills, grille and tailpipes for a more assertive, confident stance. Contrasting roof and spoiler colour is a no-cost option, while the premium sports interior offers a darker environment with splashes of bright contrast colour, together with perforated leather seats and unique sports detailing.

Other features available to Land Rover Range Rover Evoque:
    * Park Assist for automated parallel parking
    * Blind Spot Monitoring system
    * Surround Camera System with five digital cameras, including a reversing system
    * Full dual-zone automatic climate control, featuring a Timed Climate park heater facility
    * Hard-drive navigation system
    * DAB/FM/AM/Sirius tuners, with hard-drive virtual 10xCD multiplayer
    * Digital and Satellite TV, and DVD playback
    * Rear-seat entertainment package, with eight-inch video screens, digital wireless headphones and touch-screen remote control
    * Keyless entry system and powered tailgate
    * Adaptive headlamps with auto headlamp dipping
    * Heated windscreen, front seats and steering wheel
