Land Rover… The Greatest Car of All Time…?
Reply
The Land Rover is an iconic vehicle that captures the essence of the best 4×4 and has been the vehicle that many other manufacturers would like to be measured against or compared to, but in reality there is only “One” Land Rover.
It has always been national symbol and emblem of Great Britain and a benchmark for a tough, well constructed, work and play vehicle that is as happy as it is off-road. Since its original launch in 1948 by the then Rover Car Company, it has always been a popular vehicle, and can be found in nearly every country on the planet. There have been many special models built over the years; the most recently notable model was the special edition “Lara Croft” land Rover from the film and console game.
So why not pop into your local specialist Land Rover Dealer in Surrey and see if there is a Land Rover out there for you, or contact the Land Rover Dealership to see if you a tempted by one of the models in the luxury Range Rover range.
A New Land Rover on the Horizon?
With the massive popularity of medium sized SUV in the domestic US market and the explosive growth of the same market in China, especially in Beijing and Shanghai, it looks like Land Rover might be looking to expand the range again beyond the latest Range Rover Evoque.
According to inside knowledge, the marketing team over at Land Rover are looking at adding a fourth model to the usual Land Rover / Range Rover line. The new model would sit between the Range Rover Sport and the new compact 4×4 the Range Rover Evoque, to create a middle ground SUV that would bridge the gap. This new model would aim for a lower price point starting at around £35k for a low end no frills going up to around £55k for the top end, which is great news for your local Land Rover Dealership.
This need for a new model is believed to have been brought on in part due to designers over at Land Rover seeing a gap in the market for an SUV of similar size to the BMW X6 but with a less aggressive style.
This new model, conceptually known as the ‘Grand Evoque’, will take the strong looks and features of the smaller Range Rover Evoque but scale them up in size. The new package would be able to take advantage of the many new technologies in Evoque, like the LR-MS platform, and would be able to offer a sporting appearance while maintaining interior space.
Worlds First iPad Car
The world has recently seen the launch of the very first iPad equipped car. Land Rover has become the first car manufacturer to link up with Apple to fit the hugely popular iPad as standard in one of its vehicles.
The iPad will be fitted into the limited edition of the new Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition that will see just 500 vehicles made across the world. Two of the tablet devices will be attached to the front seatbacks where you would find a TV screen in other luxury car models. The iPads will flip out of the seat when passengers want to watch a movie, listen to music or surf the web, they will also be detachable. As if all that wasn’t enough passengers in the back seats will also get new console extensions with Apple keyboards, an aluminium table to put your laptop on and even a drink chillier to keep your bottle of bubbly nicely chilled.
It’s not just the inclusion of the iPad that make this Land Rover the height of luxury. The rest of the interior is as luxurious as you will find with high-end semi airline leather seats and even has leather on the door casings, steering wheel and on top of the dashboards. The interiors colour will come in either dark cherry or Arabica while on the outside you can choose from Roussillon Red or Otago Stone.
Once again it looks like Range Rover has come up with one of the must have 4×4′s. If you are not lucky enough to be one of the 500 new owners of the Autobiography Ultimate Edition then you can still buy a fantastic Range Rover from your Land Rover Dealer.
