The 2010 Land Rover LR4 HSE: performance trumps practicality

The 2010 Land Rover LR4 HSE: performance trumps practicality

The 2010 Chicago Land Rover LR4 is for sale at your local dealer and it’s a great SUV for a family, someone who has a lot of “stuff” to haul around, or anyone really.  It has a lot of space, performs well, and is beautiful on the inside and out.  Let’s take a look.

Space and comfort wise, the LR4 is very good.  There are up to 3 rows of seating for 7 people.  Legroom for your passengers is ample, great for my Uncle Jim who is a bit of ‘burly’ guy with some knee issues, as he’ll need to stretch out.  With the rear seats folded down, there is 90.3 cubic feet of cargo space.  More than enough room to get everything in your LR 4 that you might need for your family road trip this summer!

New i-Phone app for Land Rover is a big success

New i-Phone app for Land Rover is a big success

Own a used Range Rover Chicago? And…. Like Rugby?  These two arenas have joined to offer an amazing new i-Phone application.  Land Rover and Guinness Premiership have joined together to provide a cool download to rugby fans so they can get scores, fixtures and highlights right as they happen!  How awesome is that!?

The Land Rover i-Phone application is down loadable in 42 countries such as the United Kingdom, United States, and Singapore.  Even the rugby professional players are using the app to catch the scores and happenings of their competition.  Sounds like a cool sports app to me.

Land Rover 2010 reviewed

Land Rover 2010 reviewed

Land Rover’s keep getting better and better.  The 2010 Chicago Land Rover LR4 is no exception.  With a spiced up interior and improved on and off-road features, this is one great ride!

I decided visit my Chicago used Land Rover dealer and take it for a little spin.  Let me tell you, my test drive was a lot of fun!  To start with, the interior is a lot nicer than the LR3.  The inside has been reworked.  The 2010 model’s inside is very luxurious, but still feels “down to earth”.  I really like the sunroof that has 3 glass panels.  I love the feel of natural sunlight flooding it’s way into the Chicago Land Rover!

Land Rover in 1947

Land Rover in 1947

Over the past 60 years, Land Rover has been developing and changing their great vehicles.  Let’s take a look at how new and used Range Rover Chicago models have changed over the years.

In 1947, the idea of a Land Rover vehicle was born.  It was just after the war and the technical director for Rover Vehicles, Maurice Wilkes, caught wind that people were interested in a military type 4 X 4.  So, in 1948 the very first Land Rover went on display at the Amsterdam Motor Show.  It was made of aluminum and the body paint was left over from a fighter plane factory.  It also had a lightweight chassis and four wheel drive.  In fact, a used Range Rover Chicago model from 2007 that I recently came across still had the 4 wheel drive.  I guess they got something right early on!

2010 Range Rover Sport is just right

2010 Range Rover Sport is just right

Chicago Range Rover dealerships are proud to have the 2010 Range Rover Sport on lots to sell you now!  This powerful, supped up luxury SUV has so much character!

This SUV is meant for on and off road driving.   Up for debate, would you take a luxury SUV on dirt trails, rocky paths, and the like?  For the money you pay?  Some will say of course, some an adamant “no”!  Whatever your preference, the RR Sport has capabilities that make it stand out off road!

One characteristic of the Range Rover Chicago is the suspension that lets the vehicle be lowered or raised about 2 inches.  A must have feature when your Range Rover is off the beaten path, literally!  Another amenity is the navigation system with off road tracking.  Perfect, since those mountain trails are not marked with handy street signs!

The Range Rover Sport has been redesigned with a cleaner, sportier looking exterior.  In looking at photos, the front bumper is smoother and more modern, making it stand out in the LR bunch.  Also, the new LED headlights are a plus.  I love the bluish hue they give off!  This SUV is sitting at your Chicago Range Rover dealership beckoning you to come and take a test drive!

Powertrain wise, this RR Sport is very good.  The base model is made with a V8, 500 HP engine.  That’ll get some good cruising power on the open highways!  There is also the option of a supercharged SUV.  It comes with around 510 HP.  Both models’ engines are designed to maximize torque and power throughout the SUV.  Also, the 6 speed transmission is a smooth one.  Looks like Tata Motors has made this Range Rover Chicago one awesome SUV!

As you would expect with the price, the interior is amazing too!  There is a lot of attention to detail with European leather used for trimming the headliner, door and pillar casings.   There is also new lighting used to illuminate the cabin and natural wood is found in certain places too!

It’s clear, the Range Rover Sport is a great SUV if you’ve got the funds to invest in it!  Head to your Chicago Range Rover dealership as soon as you can and find out more!
