Land Rover Reveals Updated 2014 US Model Lineup with Prices

Land Rover is bringing its completely updated new range to the US, for the 2014 model year, and that includes the all-new Range Rover Sport as well as improved versions of the already familiar models. For instance, the Evoque is getting its nine-speed gearbox too, and the LR4 (Discovery in Europe) had its naturally-aspirated power plant swapped out for a supercharged V6 unit with 340 hp.

The LR2 (aka Freelander 2) has not been left untouched either, and it gets the same 240 hp turbocharged four-pot that is found in the Evoque, and Jaguar XF. It also benefits from revised styling, improved levels of technology and will retail for $37,495 to $42,595.

The larger LR4 gets a more responsive touchscreen for the infotainment system, a new single speed transfer case as standard the all-wheel drive (a two-speed transfer case is still optionally available) to name but a few new features. In addition, now there’s Intelligent Start-Stop available too, along with a blind spot warning system and a standard reversing camera. US vehicles will get the same styling tweaks and new rim designs as the Euro ones, to justify the model-year transition. It is now priced from $50,595 to $60,795.

The Evoque, aside from the new gearbox gets minimal changes, and can be had for $41,995 to $57,195 in five-door form, or $45,040 to $58,185 as a more rakish coupe.

The all-new Range Rover Sport really made its mark in the US this year, when it was associated with the grueling Pikes Peak hillclimb – some of the first shots we got were of it racing up the famed mountain road. It starts from a not totally unreasonable $63,495 for a base V6, and gets noticeably more expensive if you want the fully-specified Autobiography model, powered by the thirsty Jaguar-sourced V8 – $93,295.

The big Range Rover is still the price king, though, and again, with minimal changes and improvements over the previous model-year, it now starts at $83,545 and its price rises well past the hundred-grand mark to $135,995 for the fully-laden model. In addition, here too the non-supercharged V8 has been swapped for the blown the same blown V6 as the LR4.
