Land Rover SUVs have been favorites among Greenwich, Westport, and New Canaan drivers for years, and Land Rover Darien is here to help you find yours. The Land Rover lineup consists solely of ruggedly capable luxury SUVs that are fit for the commute or the weekend adventure, and they’ve pretty much always been that way. Today we have five different styles of Land Rover SUV available to area drivers: the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Evoque, LR4, and Discovery Sport.
The Legacy of Land Rover SUVs
Land Rover has always made it their business to build powerful and capable SUVs, dating back to the very first Land Rover, built in 1947 by brothers Maurice and Spencer Wilks. For nearly 70 years, Land Rover SUVs have been updated and improved while still carrying with them a timeless sense of style that marks them as legacy vehicles. Being produced under the same roof as Jaguar sport sedans has led to some of the most luxurious SUVs on the market, taking the comfort of home into the great outdoors.
2016 Land Rover Range Rover
The 2016 Land Rover Range Rover is the flagship model of the lineup, and it’s a vehicle for drivers who are seeking the very best in every aspect of their SUV. Standard four-wheel drive makes this vehicle feel at home on a muddy trail or on a highway. Highlights include:
Three Engines: A 340-hp supercharged V6, a 254-hp turbocharged diesel engine, and a 5.0L supercharged V8 capable of as much as 550 hp ensure this SUV has the power you need.
Four-Wheel Drive: There’s no compromising on traction and control here; the Range Rover has a full-time four-wheel drive system with Terrain Response for idealized performance.
Advanced Features: An 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, Bluetooth for phone and audio, and heated 10-way power front seats are just a few of this SUVs standard features.
Take the legacy and good looks of the Range Rover and give it a sporty overhaul and an available third row of seating and you have the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport.
Three Engines: Like with the Range Rover, the Range Rover Sport has a 340-hp supercharged V6, a 254-hp turbocharged diesel engine, and a 5.0L V8 with up to 550 hp.
Four-Wheel Drive: The Range Rover Sport also has standard four-wheel drive with an available low-range gearing system called All-Terrain Progress Control that keeps a set speed over rough terrain.
Technology Features: The InControl app suite, 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, and Bluetooth are back, with upgrade options like a 19-speaker Meridian stereo system and a front console cooler box.
2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
Drivers seeking a luxury crossover that’s fit more for the everyday than the off-road should check out the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, featuring beautiful design and four wheel-appointed trims.
Engine: A 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder is standard on the Evoque, rated at 240 hp and 250 lb.-ft. of torque and earning up to 30 mpg/highway.
All-Wheel Drive: It might sport some of the best looks of a luxury SUV, but no Land Rover would leave the assembly line without a state-of-the-art drivetrain. All-wheel drive with Terrain Response gives you improved traction on gravel and dirt as well as slick pavement.
Elegant Features: In addition to standard tech features like those found on the other Range Rover models, the Evoque includes full leather upholstery, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and more features to augment the style of your Land Rover SUV.
The 2016 Land Rover LR4 goes in a different direction than the rest of the Land Rover canon, starting with seating for up to seven passengers and featuring a spacious cargo area. Don’t be fooled, though; it’s just as comfortable off the beaten path as its siblings are.
Engine: Each LR4 has a supercharged 3.0L V6 under the hood, rated at 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, capable of towing up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.
Four-Wheel Drive: Full-time four-wheel drive is standard, though drivers seeking improved traction while off-road should consider the upgraded system with the two-speed transfer case and locking rear differential.
Features: The Elegance of the Evoque mixes with the practical connectivity features of the Range Rover here, with standard Bluetooth, touchscreen infotainment system, navigation, and rearview camera.
The world of the midsize SUV or luxury crossover is a competitive one, largely because of the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. This is the midsize luxury SUV with can-do attitude drivers have been waiting for.
Engine: Like the Evoque, the Discovery Sport has a 240-hp turbocharged four-cylinder with 250 lb-ft of torque, making it an efficient commuter vehicle at 26 mpg/highway.
Four-Wheel Drive: With Terrain Response, your Discovery Sport can take on gravel, snow, mud, sand, or just everyday wet pavement.
Features: The Discovery Sport is redefining what drivers expect from an entry-level luxury crossover, including many of the features of its high-end siblings, such as Bluetooth, a touchscreen infotainment system, a 10-speaker stereo, a rearview camera, and more as standard.
