LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT 2015 – 2019

  By ,
2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport

First of all, note that the Land Rover Discovery Sport isn’t a name attached to another model, rather it’s a vehicle in its own right. Discovery Sport is not a toy SUV masquerading as a 4WD, it is the real deal – an all-terrain vehicle from the old school. One that can be taken into tough off-road conditions where, believe it or not, even the rather crude Land Rover Series 1 would have struggled when it was launched 72 years ago. Yet the Discovery Sport will meet all the requirements… Read more

LAND ROVER DEFENDER HARDTOPS

  By ,

Land Rover has confirmed the new commercial Defender 90 and 110 models will restore the Hard Top. That name dates back to 1950, when the introduction of demountable Hard Tops gave early Series Land Rovers added security and protection from the elements. Sharing its strong body structure and next-generation Electrical Vehicle Architecture with the Land Rover passenger models, the Defender Hard Top is being developed by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations. The 90 and 110 Hard Tops will both feature independent coil-sprung suspension, with advanced electronic air suspension also available… Read more

ALL-NEW LAND ROVER DEFENDER

  By ,

New Land Rover Defender is finally here – and it looks like a Defender. Some had feared it would be thoroughly modernised, perhaps even streamlined. But that would have created a storm of complaints from those defending the Defender and thankfully it didn’t happen. To quote Land Rover design chief, Gerry McGovern: “The new Defender is respectful of its past but is not harnessed by it. This is a new Defender for a New Age.” The model names are as before: 110 and 90, but these numbers no longer indicate… Read more

LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2007 – 2015

  By ,
2007 Land Rover Freelander

Though it’s generally used only as a suburban wagon, Land Rover’s Freelander is capable of tackling mild to moderate bush, beach and desert conditions that would strand just about everything else in its class. Which is hardly surprising as it comes from the company that gives us everything from the down-and-dirty Land Rover Defender to the highly competent (and very expensive) Range Rover. Freelander first went on sale here early in 1998 making it arguably the first upmarket compact SUV, several years ahead of the big name Germans. These originals… Read more
