The 2010 LR4 HSE is at your Madison dealer and it really is a good buy if you crave this luxury SUV!  Let’s take a look at some of the luxurious features.

The LR4 has that classic Land Rover look to it, even though it has been updated on the exterior front (no pun intended!)  The front grille is new and the LED lights are a modern design.  Some new paint colors are available and it has 19- and 20-inch wheel designs.  A side view of the LR4 HSE shows a longer SUV with a slightly raised back end.  I like this new look!

The engine of the LR4 is one of the biggest changes!  It is a very powerful V8 5.0 L that delivers 375 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque.  Awesome!  Also, it is reported that the fuel economy isn’t affected with the increased power.  Don’t let that fool you into thinking that this new SUV, found at your Madison used car dealership, has good gas mileage.  It is a heavy-duty SUV after all!!

Inside the vehicle, there is a lot to say!  It is really nice with plenty of modern features.  The gadgets, found on the center console, have been redesigned to make their placement more user-friendly to the driver.  For example, the Terrain Response System has been moved and is now next to the shifter.  The seating is also very comfortable and there is plenty of it!  Perfect for long journeys: enough room for people and cargo makes for a happy trip!

As for the off road ability of the 2010 LR4, that is totally up to you. I am not sure if I would feel comfortable taking my $50K SUV on roads that are not nicely paved.  But, you can if you want to.  The LR4 has that handy Terrain Response System, that allows you to adjust the power, depending what type of surface you are driving on.  There is now a “sand” mode: perfect if you want to cruise the beach!

Check out this great SUV at your Madison dealer.  They’ll let you test drive one to see if this is the SUV for you!

Tata Motors, the company that makes Jaguar’s, has announced that for all future Jags sold at your Madison dealer, a lighter weight aluminum will be used in the manufacturing of all models.

There are several advantages to using aluminum versus other metals.  The size of a luxury car has increased about 22 lbs per year over the past 10 years or so, affecting fuel economy and overall performance.  A large car can mean a company having to install larger engines to allow the car to get the power a luxury car owner expects.  Using aluminum can help lessen the weight and improve fuel economy of future Jags sold at your Madison used car dealership.

The decision to use aluminum was not an easy one.  In 2008, Tata Motors, which makes Jaguar and Land Rover models, lost around $1 billion dollars.  They blamed the negative situation on increased cost of producing new cars and the lessened demand of luxury cars in a bad economy.  Using aluminum will actually cost more to produce, but the company is hoping that the improved efficiency from using this type of metal will outweigh the costs.  Let’s hope this logic works!

Right now, the XK and XJ models already use aluminum in their design.  This metal has helped improve these models’ performance, aerodynamics, and overall safety.  Using aluminum creates a more “stiff” auto, that could also be more protecting to passengers?  Definitely some changes coming in new Jags versus other used cars Madison.

Clearly, using aluminum has some advantages for auto makers and owners.  In the constantly changing auto industry, it is important for car companies to look for ways to improve their autos.  Future Jaguar models coming to your Madison dealer will have some new “heavy metal” to sport!

The new XJ holds true to many of the traditional Jaguar styling cues, such as a wire grille, but its sides come straight down, rather than the more torpedo-like shape of older models, giving off a younger feel. The roofline also extends back far over the trunk, with small triangular windows behind the main rear side windows. The fenders swell along curvaceous lines and the vertical taillamps are equipped with LED lighting. A standard glass top also has two sunroofs, both of which open, for front and rear seats.

And inside, the XJ maintains that British-luxury feel with bubbled-up air vents, a pop-up transmission controller and wide bands of wood on the doors and dash. It also boasts such tech details as Bowers & Wilkins audio with 1,200 watts of amplification, a media hub with two USB ports and Bluetooth audio streaming. And instead of traditional analog instruments, the XJ has a 12.3-inch high-resolution screen for its instrument cluster with virtual speedometer and tachometer. The center LCD is an 8-inch touch screen for controlling audio, navigation, and the phone system.

Even Jay-Z knows good car candy when he sees it – the 2011 Jaguar XJ is featured in his latest video. Detroit and hip-hop approved – beautiful indeed.

Stop by your Madison dealer today to test drive an XJ, or check out any of the used cars Madison dealership Fields Jaguar Land Rover has to offer. No matter what you find, you’re bound to go home happy.

The London party, which was hosted by Jay Leno, was appropriate for such a luxurious and classy car. A car like this, demands a party of epic proportions. The Madison Jaguar XJ has plenty of gorgeous and fancy features that still have half of London buzzing.

The sleek and aerodynamic look of this new model makes it elegant right from the get-go. But once you get behind the wheel it only gets better. Boasting a whopping 5.0-liter V8, 400 horsepower engine, this powerful Jaguar is not kidding when it comes to driving. Any serious car lover will understand that this car means business out on the road.

It also has some great new features to add to the Madison new car lineup. With a debonairly decibel-dousing  Bowers and Wilkens sound system (also found in the Madison Jaguar XK and XF), an 8-inch center LCD display to control music, navigation and telephone, and a virtual speedometer and tachometer, any tech junkie will fall head over heels for this Cat.

Plus, it comes available with Dual View Technology. Basically, while the driver is watching the navigation system, the passenger can be watching a DVD or a television show — but only offered in Europe for right now due to U.S. safety regulations. Bummer. So we’re just going to have to cross our fingers for that one to show up at our Madison dealer.

These new Jags should be availble sometime around September, so keep an eye out at our Madison dealer for them around then. And maybe we’ll get a big swanky party for its arrival here too as well. Either way, if you’re going to be looking for Madison new cars within the year, be sure to check out this new cat on the prowl.

The Madison Land Rover LR3 is the perfect combination of toughness and style. On the inside, it boasts beautiful leather seating, a spacious sunroof, Bluetooth capability, a high-tech audio system, navigation system and plenty of room for passengers.

But as soon as you get this AWD out on the open off-road it turns on the attitude and becomes a rugged and tough, go-anywhere machine. With a 4.4-liter, V8 engine that delivers 300 horsepower, it has no problem with power and strength. Plus, it can tow up to 7,700 pounds, which is quite impressive and the second and third row seats fold down for extra cargo space. It also comes equipped with Terrain Response System so it can handle any off-road situation with ease by a simple push of a button.

But even if you don’t plan on taking your Madison Land Rover LR3 into the mountains, it will also handle beautifully on the everyday commute and errands around town as well. The new model has shockingly responsive handling for everyday driving and is a very smooth and easy within the confines of heavy traffic. It also provides features such as Rear Parking Assist.

I’ve always felt Land Rover got it right with the LR3, finding a perfect balance between both worlds. Luxury and ruggedness have come together, and the outcome is a beautiful tough-guy. If only I could take some cues from Land Rover when it comes to chocolate and shopping, I’d have it made.
