The transitions and transformations of Land Rover cars over the years have been excellent, as it evolved through a lot of series. The capabilities of early Land Rovers were simply endless and so very special, especially when considering the availability of machinery and advent of technology.
The uniqueness of Land Rovers were endless, even in the initial years of manufacturing. One of the key features which attracted the attention of many in owning and using Land Rover is it's off road performance apart from the on road performance.
The wide varieties of body styles available, even for the initial model were something incredible. It widely ranges from a simple canvas like top, more of like a pick up vehicle to a 12 or 13 seat wagon, able to carry passengers.
Apart from all these, alterations and more adaptations were incorporated to Land Rover models, both by in house manufacturers and by third party vendors. It has to be repeatedly mentioned about the exquisite axle articulation functionality of all Land Rover models. This was a stupendous feature which made Land Rovers appear more distinguished from other models, making them popular and luxurious.

The range-topping 187bhp SD4 will hit a very respectable 40.4mpg combined, whilst the more frugal variants in the range will see up to 45.4mpg.
This brings the Freelander's CO2 emissions tumbling to as low as 158g/km on the eco-tweaked eD4. That is enough to make it the most efficient Land Rover ever produced. Despite the reductions in both economy and emissions, the 2011 Freelander 2 has not had its performance neutered, with torque levels rising by around 15 lb/ft across the range making for more efficient towing and performance.
Outside the obligatory facelift has brought with it new bumper mouldings and slight changes to detail. The lights have received new surrounds and finishes, as have the door and boot handles. The new, sleeker nose is especially handsome.

The 2011 Range Rover Vogue retains its position as one of the world's most complete luxury vehicles. Its combination of reduced CO2 emissions and superior engine performance continue to make it a clear industry benchmark and with the introduction of the all-new 'super diesel', the Range Rover Vogue will be delivering under 9.5 litres/100km for the first time.
A new, class-leading V8 diesel engine, new 8-speed transmission, two significant “Terrain Response” upgrades and subtle external styling all combine to ensure the 2011 Range Rover Vogue retains its crown as the king of the luxury SUV segment. The LR-TDV8 4.4-litre with parallel sequential turbocharging replaces the outstanding LR-TDV8 3.6-litre and is unique to the Range Rover Vogue.
The headline news, though, is that the combined cycle fuel consumption of the new LR-TDV8 4.4-litre is just 9.4 litres/100km, making this the first Range Rover Vogue ever to better 10 litres/100km.
This daunting combination is enough to catapult the Range Rover Vogue from rest to 100kph in a mere 7.8 seconds and complete the 80kph to 120kph dash in just 5.1 seconds.
For 2011, the Range Rover Vogue retains the same class-leading 5.0-litre LR-V8, supercharged petrol engine married to the ZF HP28 6-speed automatic transmission introduced in 2010. Developing 375kW and 625Nm torque the Supercharged LR-V8 will take the Range Rover Vogue from 0-100km/h in a breath-taking 6.2 seconds.

Inside the cabin there are optional illuminated treadplates for the front doors, new transmission controls for the diesel model, and improvements to the entertainment system.
