We didn’t think more spy shots of the Range Rover Evoque were newsworthy. But a closer look shows two different back end treatments. QI. I know, why on earth do we need ‘Spy’ shots of the Range Rover Evoque when we saw a completely undisguised Evoque – and eventually an equally undisguised Victoria Beckham – […]
Range Rover Evoque to get EcoBoost? Maybe
Will Land Rover fit the 200bhp EcoBoost engine in to the new Range Rover Evoque? We think not, at least not in Europe. I suppose the need to keep the story alive – the story of the Range Rover Evoque, that is – makes us speculate on what we don’t yet know. Which no doubt […]
Liberal Petrolhead. Oxymoron? Not any more
Dr Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business, visited Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin yesterday. And it looks like he had a fine old time. With the Liberal / Conservative coalition now in charge we seem to have got a Government where a big chunk of the ministers are Liberals (is there a Liberal […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 2011: The Video
Land Rover has sent us video showing the changes to the 2011 Land Rover Freelander 2. It’s only a week or two (well, almost three) since Land Rover spilled the beans on the changes for the 2011 Freelander 2. But that’s long enough for them to have got the camcorder out and shot a bit […]
2011 Freelander 2: Made in India (almost)
Tata has confirmed that Land Rover will be assembling the Freelander 2 in India from 2011. Whenever we’ve discussed the rise and rise of JLR in the last year – such as when we waxed lyrical (ish) on the future plans of Jaguar Land Rover – we’ve always been of the opinion that Tata would […]
Range Rover Sport: 3.6 litre TDV8 is no more
Land Rover are dropping the 3.6 litre TDV8 from the Range Rover Sport. Instead of replacing it with the new 4.4 litre diesel the TDV6 gets upgraded. We had a Range Rover Sport recently for a week to see what the latest 3.0 litre TDV6 was like. And much to our astonishment we really liked […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 Facelift (2011) Revealed
Land Rover facelift the Freelander 2 for 2011, with cosmetic tweaks, a 2WD Freelander 2 eD4 and, as we predicted, a more powerful 187bhp Freelander SD4. Back in May we reported that there would be a facelift for the Freelander 2 for 2011, with the required cosmetic tweaks to keep it fresh for another year […]
Range Rover Evoque Prototype Video
We have video of the Range Rover Evoque Prototypes running on track and leaving Land Rover to conquer ten cities around the world. Last week were were a little hasty and a little harsh. We got sent a set of photos of the Range Rover Evoque all dressed up in camouflage and ready to go […]
Evoque in disguise – we were a bit harsh!
We reported on a set of photos Land Rover sent us of the Evoque in disguise on Tuesday. We were a bit disparaging – and a bit unfair. We reported on Tuesday that Land Rover were busy teasing the new Range Rover Evoque by sending us an exclusive set of photos of a ‘Pack’ of […]
Range Rover Evoque Prototype Pack Playing
Land Rover has started the inevitable on-going tease for the Evoque. But it’s done it with pictures of the Evoque in disguise. Most odd. We’re not huge fans of the red-top alliteration in headlines. And I suppose the headline is a curate’s egg alliteration – alliterative in parts. But we have to play when there’s not a lot of […]
