From the outside, the Range Rover appears to mimic its sleek, boxy predecessors; however, the trained eye will take note of new bright LED headlamps, tail lamps and side marker lights. The front bumper is reshaped and elegant and features a revised mesh grille. Something ambiguously lavish about the exterior is sure to draw drivers into their Madison Range Rover dealerships.  

But the most important changes lay on the inside. The interior is garnered with finely stitched high coddle occupants and includes a largely rethought instrument panel and a 12-inch high resolution display (in place of the traditional analog gauge faces and needles). The new display offers all sorts of usual information to the driver; vehicle information like system alerts, audio settings, trip information, and Terrain Response system data are all innovative features of the high-tech system.

However, what Madison new cars dealers and Land Rover enthusiasts are most excited about is under the hood. The 2010 Range Rover boasts a 5.0-liter V8 that pumps out 375 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque. That’s power. What’s more, the supercharged Range Rover blasts 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque and can go zero-to-60 in a matter of 5.9 seconds. These new, powerful numbers are sure to keep your local Madison dealer up to its ears in test-drivers.

But power does not always equal progress. Eco-friendly drivers will be happy to know that even the more luxurious manufacturers are getting down to brass tacks. The 2010 Range Rover features a seven percent decrease in fuel consumption and carbon emissions compared to last year’s model, due in part to the vehicle’s direct injection system.

Top-trim supercharged models are expected to start around $95,500. For drivers in search of a luxury experience coupled with power and roominess, the 2010 Range Rover is well-priced for its quality. Madison Range Rover dealers are sure to be filled with drivers looking for a quality experience like the one the new Range Rover offers.

The 2010 Range Rover serves as a much-anticipated reinvention for Land Rover. Check out the new vehicle today at a local Madison dealer.

The 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE Sports Utility (I know its a mouthful) is MSPR listed at $59,645.  For those who really enjoy power the supercharged version is MSRP listed at $73,345.  Comparative models from BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche have MSRPs listed $10,000 – $20,000 higher.  Range Rover continues to work on improving design both on the inside and outside.  And for a combination of power and value, the Range Rover Sport is in a class of its own. If you’re ready to feel the power of one, visit a Range Rover Madison dealer for a test drive.

Expect it to arrive stateside though. This vehicle is far too exciting to live exclusively across the pond. The LRX seems to take the Land Rover design into the future in a big way. There is no mistaking the sleek, compact design for anything but the ultimate off-roading four-wheel drive. However, the LRX is certainly a design and model that will transform the shape of the brand. It manages to look very much in the spirit of the inventory currently at our Land Rover Madison dealer, but the LRX gives the design quite a twist. With its smaller size and city appeal, the LRX should find a new, younger and more urban market. We think this will be one of the best Madison new cars to hit our lots in a long time.

This has already been called the smallest, lightest and most efficient vehicle to drive out of a Land Rover factory. Likely to be marketed under the Range Rover badge, the LRX figures to attain gas mileage numbers that rival the very best small SUVs on the road today. Not only that, I would not be surprised to see the LRX feature the first-ever hybrid in the Land Rover family a year or so after it first hits our Madison dealer. Rumors of a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain are already running rampant for the European market. That same deisel hybrid would be exciting to see here, but we’re betting we would see a gas-electric option in the U.S. first.
