Land Rover is bringing its completely updated new range to the US, for the 2014 model year, and that includes the all-new Range Rover Sport as well as improved versions of the already familiar models. For instance, the Evoque is getting its nine-speed gearbox too, and the LR4 (Discovery in Europe) had its naturally-aspirated power plant swapped out for a supercharged V6 unit with 340 hp.
The LR2 (aka Freelander 2) has not been left untouched either, and it gets the same 240 hp turbocharged four-pot that is found in the Evoque, and Jaguar XF. It also benefits from revised styling, improved levels of technology and will retail for $37,495 to $42,595.
The larger LR4 gets a more responsive touchscreen for the infotainment system, a new single speed transfer case as standard the all-wheel drive (a two-speed transfer case is still optionally available) to name but a few new features. In addition, now there?s Intelligent Start-Stop available too, along with a blind spot warning system and a standard reversing camera. US vehicles will get the same styling tweaks and new rim designs as the Euro ones, to justify the model-year transition. It is now priced from $50,595 to $60,795.
The Evoque, aside from the new gearbox gets minimal changes, and can be had for $41,995 to $57,195 in five-door form, or $45,040 to $58,185 as a more rakish coupe.
The all-new Range Rover Sport really made its mark in the US this year, when it was associated with the grueling Pikes Peak hillclimb ? some of the first shots we got were of it racing up the famed mountain road. It starts from a not totally unreasonable $63,495 for a base V6, and gets noticeably more expensive if you want the fully-specified Autobiography model, powered by the thirsty Jaguar-sourced V8 - $93,295.
The big Range Rover is still the price king, though, and again, with minimal changes and improvements over the previous model-year, it now starts at $83,545 and its price rises well past the hundred-grand mark to $135,995 for the fully-laden model. In addition, here too the non-supercharged V8 has been swapped for the blown the same blown V6 as the LR4. View the attachments for this post at:
