Land Rover anuncia os seus dois Range Rover híbridos e um desafio para os pôr à prova
Land Rover lanzará a la venta el próximo 10 de septiembre, en paralelo a su presentación en el Salón de Frankfurt, versiones híbridas-diésel de sus Range Rover Sport y Range Rover "normal". Ambos modelos contarán con un motor de combustión V6 de tres litros (el típico de los SDV6) apoyado por un motor eléctrico.
La cifra combinada de potencia es de 340 caballos, pero más impresionante es la de par máximo, que se va hasta los 700 Nm. El consumo medio homologado en ambos casos se rebaja hasta los 6,4 litros cada 100 kilómetros, que para estas moles de más de dos toneladas y excelentes aptitudes todoterreno ya está más que bien. El 0 a 100 por hora se logra en menos de siete segundos, mientras las emisiones de CO2 promedio por kilómetro se quedan en 169 gramos. Tanto el Sport como el Range "normal" pueden rodar hasta 1,6 kilómetros en modo eléctrico puro.
Para poner a prueba las aptitudes de ambos modelos y demostrar que sus prestaciones como todoterreno no se ven mermadas, ambos modelos partirán para una ruta-aventura que les llevará hasta India a través de la ruta de la seda, con más de 16.000 kilómetros de recorrido, incluyendo complicados pasos y trialeras.
La ruta se dividirá en 10 etapas, y obviamente será narrada por Land Rover para que estemos al tanto de su logro.
2014 Range Rover & Range Rover Sport revealed
Offers two new powertrains
Land Rover has announced a series of updates to the 2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
On the styling front, the Range Rover can be equipped with a new Black Design Pack that adds gloss black accents on the grille, mirrors, door handles and side vents. The package also includes new 21- or 22-inch alloy wheels.
Interior changes are limited but the Range Rover can be equipped with new front seats (with powered upper seat articulation) and an upgraded rear seat entertainment system with larger 10.2-inch displays.
The models also gain several new safety options including Traffic Sign Recognition, Lane Departure Warning and Perpendicular Park / Parking Exit. Customers can also order an InControl system which has a 3G WiFi hotspot, stolen vehicle tracking and a remote monitoring app for iOS and Android smartphones.
Under the hood, the Range Rover Sport can be equipped with a new 4.4-liter SDV8 diesel engine that develops 339 HP (249 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed ZF transmission which enables the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph) when equipped with the Dynamic Pack.
Land Rover will also offer a new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Hybrid that have a 3.0-liter SDV6 turbodiesel engine and a 47 HP (35 kW) electric motor. This setup enables the models to have a combined maximum output of 340 HP (250 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque.

For cars like the Lamborghini Aventador, waiting lists for orders are a common thing. In fact, not long after the Lamborghini Aventador debuted in 2011, waiting lists stretched up to 18 months. One type of car which we don’t generally associated with massive waiting lists are SUVs, but the 2014 Range Rover Sport has defied that.
Following the release of the 2014 Range Rover Sport earlier this year, demand for the new car along with the standard Range Rover have far exceeded Land Rover’s expectations. In fact, demand is 40 percent higher than expected and this has resulted in some hefty waiting lists. In fact, there’s currently a 6 month wait for the standard 2014 Range Rover, while buyers for the 2014 Range Rover Sport will have to wait at least 9 months before deliveries.
China is the main driver of this demand despite the car costing the equivalent of well over $400,000 in the Asian nation. Despite such high base prices, some Chinese customs are prepared to pay premiums of up to $80,000 to skip the nine-month wait and move to the front of the queue!
And unfortunately, there’s nothing Land Rover can do about the demand. As it stands, the company’s factory in Solihull is running 24/7!
