With the introduction of the 2020 Defender, Land Rover provided us with several cool infographics about its new rig.

No, this isn’t that new Tesla Model Z that Musk has been musing about. This is the upcoming 2020 Land Rover Defender. It was just spotted at a Silverthron, Colorado Starbucks. Don’t worry, despite being parked in front of a Tesla supercharger while the test engineers grabbed macchiatos, it wasn’t ICEing. Those are shared spots. That said,…

The Velar is a real deal Range Rover but with added style

The trail ahead of me is steep and heavily rutted. My friend in a Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro went before me and made it look easy, though I know that’s not the case. Still, the vehicle in which I’m sitting bears badging that traces a path filled with heritage, history, and heaps of mud and…

It’s been around for decades, and it’s been to every pocket of the globe during that time. The Land Rover Discovery has entered its fifth generation, and this latest one brings the Disco to a new place.

Land Rover has created …something interesting. It’s called the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. It’s a drop-top version of Land Rover’s compact SUV, and it comes bearing 2.0-liter turbocharged power under its hood.

Last week I had the opportunity to drive the new Land Rover Discovery. I’m not much of an off-roader, but in the interest of pushing personal boundaries, I’m happy for the opportunity. The new seven-seater Disco proved it’s pretty well capable of tackling anything the environment wants to throw at it. There is a little…

It is interesting how in a span of a lifetime people change, or don’t change. Four years ago I went to Poland where I met up with my childhood friend. As a child, my friend Paul has always had interest in outdoor and expedition type activities. While he’s not full-on car geek like me, he…

comments
Several weeks ago I had an opportunity to spend a few hours at the Land-Rover Experience Driving School in Manchester, Vermont. In part one we learned about what one should know about their vehicle before heading off-pavement. In part two we discussed basic off-road driving techniques. Now, in part three, we will take a quick…
