Land Rover Reviews

The Discovery Sport has had this particular market niche to itself for a few years. Will it be unseated by the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLB challenger?

The Land Rover Defender has always been synonymous with off-road adventure, but now the much-anticipated new high-tech Defender has arrived to take on Australia's hard-core 4WDing. Is the new Defender still as capable off-road but, more importantly, is it as comfortable on-road as it needs to be to compete in today's SUV market? Is that even possible? So many questions...

The Discovery Sport S D150 is surprisingly inexpensive for a Land Rover, but there were also a few other surprises we weren’t expecting - some great, others not so good.

Land Rover's fifth-generation Discovery has been around for a few years now and not only has it had to deal with getting older, but renewed – and brand-new – competition from the continent. We spent a week with the mid-spec SE SDV6 to see how it's hanging in there.

If you're in the market for a Range Rover, you're clearly doing well for yourself. If you're in the market for this particular model - the Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic - you're doing a lot of things right in life. It's a supercharged V8 monster truck that's big on luxury, comfort and performance. And price. Oh yes. It's expensive.

The even prettier second-generation Range Rover Evoque is available in four trim-levels with a choice of six engines. The base model S costs a fair bit more than its named competitors but is bigger and prettier than any of them. We spent a week with the Evoque S D180 to see just how base the base model is.
