Why It's a Bad Idea to Pull a Car of a Ditch Without a Driver Inside


Here's another failed attempt at towing a car, but not in the way you may be thinking.

You see, the driver of the Land Rover Discovery 3 (marketed as the LR3 in North America) actually pulled it off – literally – in his/her second effort to get a Hyundai Getz out of a ditch.

Spy Shots: New Range Rover Strips Down to the Metal


These are by far our best pictures yet of the all-new, fourth generation Range Rover, as our spies managed to snag a prototype model without all the plastic cladding of the previous test cars.

Even though Land Rover engineers have covered select parts of the body with black and white decals that look like they came straight out of the Matrix, these new images afford us a clear view of the upcoming premium SUV's shape.

Employees at the Jaguar-Land Rover group's Halewood Operations in Merseyside, UK, recently celebrated the production of 300,000th Land Rover Freelander 2. The landmark came five years and seven months after production of the SUV commenced in October 2006.

Unbelievable! Sewage Cover Sends Land Rover Freelander Into a Flying Somersault


Imagine driving on a quiet street at low speeds when of all a sudden, without any warning or another car involved, your vehicle goes flying into the air.

Crazy as it may sound, this is what happened to a driver of a Land Rover Freelander earlier today in the Russian resort city of Sochi, which by the way, will host the 2014 Olympics Winter Games…

If you watch the first video that was shot from a dash mounted camera on a following vehicle (don't take into consideration the date, it's wrong), you'll be inclined to believe that the SUV fell into an uncovered sewage hole on the road causing it to flip over.

Range Rover Evoque with Victoria Beckham Walks Down the Auto China Catwalk

Land Rover to Spice Up Evoque with Victoria Beckham Special Edition


Now that Victoria Beckham has found some time to finish her work with Land Rover, the British automaker is ready to introduce the first special edition version of the Evoque compact crossover named after the former Spice Girl.

More precisely, Land Rover tells us that the new model is called the "Range Rover Evoque Special Edition with Victoria Beckham", though we'll have to assume that the company will probably put a disclaimer somewhere in the fine print saying that Posh Spice is not actually included with the car…

Vilner Revisits the Land Rover Defender with a New Interior Makeover


Vilner, the Bulgarian design house that has a made a name for itself with its work on vehicle interiors, has presented a new take on the Land Rover Defender.

Both inside and out, the company has used a similar design theme to a previous Land Rover Defender project it showed us last summer.

There are, however, differences such as the multispoke alloy wheels on the outside and the independent bucket sports seats that replace the rear seat bench and the over-the-top wooden floors in the interior.

Project Kahn Unveils Sultry Red Ranger


Red isn't a color you often see on large premium SUVs like the Range Rover, but if properly done, it actually doesn't look half bad. Naturally, as with most other colors, it all depends on the shade of red, which can make or break a vehicle's looks.

The deep red used on Project Kahn's tune, hits the spot in our opinion and creates a nice contrast with the black accents such as the carbon fiber front grille, side air vents, front and rear bumper trims and the quad exhaust tailpipes.

Jaguar-Land Rover Forms New Joint Venture with China's Chery Automobile


Tata Motor's Jaguar-Land Rover premium division has signed a joint venture deal with Chery Automobile to sell cars in its home market of China. The agreement, however, is not final, as it has to be approved by China's regulators.

Just last December, China's National Reform and Development Commission (NRDC) and the Ministry of Commerce said that they would stop encouraging foreign investment in the car manufacturing industry to allow for “healthy development” of a market.
