Land Rover May Use Jaguar’s Alloy Platform for New Range Rover Model Larger than Evoque

Revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year, Jaguar’s C-X17 crossover conceptintroduced the brand’s new aluminum architecture that will underpin many future Jaguars, beginning with the new sedan due in 2015 that will rival the BMW 3-Series.


While the fate of the C-X17 is not clear yet, it looks like the aluminum platform is very attractive to Jaguar’s sister brand Land Rover. The off-road vehicle specialist may use the architecture to build a new model for the Range Rover lineup.

According to a report from Automotive News Europe, which quotes a source familiar with the plan, the new Range Rover would be positioned between the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport.
Analysts say the new Range Rover, code-named L560, will make the platform profitable. “This will have higher pricing, higher volumes and higher contribution margins than any of the Jaguar variants,” Max Warburton from Bernstein Research wrote in a recent report on Jaguar Land Rover. “We believe JLR product planners expect the L560 to sell up to 80,000 units, making it the most profitable variant by far,” he added.

Jaguar Land Rover is investing £1.5 billion (€1.79 billion) to develop the new platform, which analysts say will underpin a production version of the C-X17 crossover as well. For Land Rover, the lightweight platform will bring significant benefits in terms of dynamics, fuel-efficiency and emissions. The report also says the source described the styling of the new Range Rover as “car-like on steroids.”
The L560 is expected to have a similar price to the Land Rover Discovery large SUV.

2013 Land Rover Freelander 2 Review

Was presented as the Land Rover Freelander in 1997 for the first time, he was a co-founder of the segment of compact SUVs and was instantly the most popular Land Rover model.

Land Rover Freelander 2 2013

In 2006 the second generation was launched, which has now been completely revised for the new model year and upgraded.

Visual level, the new vintage at a cooler look with revised headlamps, new front bumper, new tail lights and a few other little details that the Land Rover Freelander 2 can act now even more dynamic.

The interior has been redesigned and now offers quality materials and a fresh look. Between the two round instruments is a new LCD display space, a new look, the center console has also obtained.

The manual handbrake is now given way to an electronic, and the Terrain Response was that optically aligned in the Evoque. Also new are a rearview camera, which gives a very good picture and a Meridian sound system, which provides maximum listening pleasure.

When the engine of the 6-cylinder petrol engine with a modern 2.0-liter 4-cylinder was replaced, which is a power of 240 hp more than 7% of the 6-cylinder engine.

But he is more economical to move to 14% and is on average 9.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Even more economical are the best diesel. The 2.2 liter 4-cylinder diesel engine is available with 150 hp or 190 hp.

With the 150 hp version, customers can also choose between front-and all-wheel drive, 2-wheel driven eD4 with a consumption of 6.0 liters, the most fuel-efficient version of the SUV.

While the 150 hp are enough out for decent performance. The sprint of the 150 hp Freelander done in 11.7 seconds, the version with 190 hp creates the same discipline even in just 9.5 seconds.

For daily use, the 150 hp quite rich, who places more value on driving pleasure, but also want to get off the beaten track ahead is the 190 hp version, but certainly better off.

The redesigned interior with a still like design and is an easy to use. The materials chosen act also much higher quality than its predecessor.

His true trumps the Freelander 2 plays but from off the paved roads, where he convinces with its great off-road capability.

Land Rover Freelander 2 2013

Of course, he creates by the lack of air suspension is not the same entanglement as the Discovery 4, but it comes with the Freelander 2 off road in areas where other compact SUV had to abandon a long time.

Impressive is still the Terrain Response system, which offers the perfect opportunity for each electronic control. Whether mud, sand or even the steep slope, the electronic system controls all aspects perfect, and it comes perfectly with the Freelander 2 through rough terrain. One keystroke is enough to set the current base of the Terrain Response, and you're ready for anything.

The renovation of the 2013 Land Rover Freelander 2 has done very well, he looks back dewy and higher quality than the previous model's top off-road but he was able to maintain.

The appearance
2013 Range Rover Evoque SD4 with the 2.2-liter diesel that produces 140 kW (190 hp). In the driven variant of our "dynamic", the middle between "pure" and "prestige".

You would do the car and its creators but wrong if we did not mention the extensive standard equipment. In the four-wheel version of the Evoque puts all of the outstanding technology of the British pound in the pan. These include not only the home of Land Rover invented the Hill Descent Control, Terrain Response system with four modes, which can be selected by pressing a button. The normal mode is optimized for road and off-road use such as a dirt track. Grass / gravel / snow is meant for slippery surfaces, mud, muddy and loose for the real state of the roads, sand for the desert.

Return to standard on the Range Rover Evoque. Already SD4 are mounted 17-inch Pure Alus. A two-zone automatic climate control ensures a pleasant air, the seats are partially wrapped in leather and 8 speakers are driven by the 80 watt payable radio-CD unit with MP3 function.

The larger 19-inch light alloy are reared at the two higher trim levels. Really fat, the optional 20-inch polished silver look.

The drive unit
The 2.2-liter diesel is a strong part. 420 Nm of torque, this engine, matched perfectly with the optional six-speed automatic, which we recommend for comfort but sporty driving. Because using shift paddles on the steering wheel allows the gear changes affect manually at any time. Since the Range Rover Evoque relatively easy to build, the consumption is in absolutely acceptable limits. The 6.5 liter average, the promises of the manufacturers are rarely available, our test consumption was associated with about 8 liters, with plenty of urban traffic, in a very good framework.

Very good also the impressions left by the suspension. Flit or glide, off-road over rough stone or mud and the mud can squirt up. The balance is convincing in every case and makes the Range Rover Evoque, in keeping with its big brothers for a great touring car.

Land Rover developers and developers have designed a coordinator of unique and modern features, to ensure the Range Rover Evoque is different from the group.

Lighting performs a big part in the Evoque's unique attraction. First to hook the eye is the highly effective unique visual in the entrance running lamps, created by modern LED light-blade engineering. A similar visual is recurring in the LED back lamps, with their jewel-like 3D petal style.

Achieving the desired powerful personality in the Evoque required an progress of the Range Rover DNA. Starting with the driving characteristics of the Range Rover Sport, which has a similar DNA to a luxury sports saloon, Range Rover characteristics professionals set out to produce a more nimble and connected drive.

Particular goals were to improve guiding perfection and speed at cheaper connections, so that the car was more sensitive and fun-to-drive in standard city generating circumstances.

While the Evoque's brighter in bodyweight, more lightweight impact and cheaper hub of severity assisted to obtain a more nimble personality, key technological innovation changes were necessary to produce the necessary tendencies.

The first move in generating a more maintainable Range Rover was to make it lesser. Following the head of the LRX idea, the Range Rover Evoque is the tiniest Range Rover ever, providing the same stage of deluxe and engineering but shrink-wrapped into a much more lightweight and powerful impact.

Despite its upon existence on the street, at 4,350mm extensive, the Evoque is a large 430mm reduced than the Range Rover Game, and with its extraordinary coupé roofline, it rests over 180mm cheaper too.
