Jaguar Land Rover Receives A Special Award For Its Incontroltm Smart Connectivity Technology. Jaguar Land Rover has been awarded the prestigious 鈥楶ioneer Award鈥?for its InControlTM smart connectivity and infotainment system by two leading German magazines. Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart, Group Engineering Director at Jaguar Land Rover, accepted the award and said: 鈥淲e are very proud to receive such an important technology award in Germany. It will inspire our engineers to develop even more innovative and pioneering technology to delight our Jaguar and Land Rover customers around the world. A suite of supported apps, such as calendars, parking space finder and infotainment tools, allows drivers and passengers to connect to information and entertainment to improve the driving experience. Each of these apps has been optimised in their display and functionality to make them controllable via the car鈥檚 touchscreen and voice, to minimise distraction and make them 鈥楻ight for Driving鈥? It is like having your smartphone installed in your dashboard. Auto Bild recognised how Jaguar Land Rover has created an innovative, cross-platform way for customers to connect to their car. 鈥淛aguar Land Rover has developed its own system that supports both Android and iOS (iPhone) operating systems.
If you鈥檙e in the market for an SUV or 4脳4, you might鈥檝e looked at the range offered by Land Rover. If, however, you鈥檝e looked at upmarket SUVs you might have encountered Range Rovers instead. What鈥檚 the difference and which should you pick? If you鈥檙e sold on either range, put any Land Rover model in our deals page to see how much carwow could help you save. To learn more about the marque鈥檚 top-spec trim, check out our guide to Range Rover鈥檚 Autobiography models. Land Rover is the name of the parent company that produces both Land Rovers and Range Rovers. The two ranges have separate names to reflect their different customer bases - Land Rover is the rugged, off-road focused line while Range Rover puts much more emphasis on luxurious cabins and on-road refinement. Under the Land Rover name, the brand produces the large Discovery 4脳4 and the mid-size Discovery Sport.
Let鈥檚 get one thing out of the way: The 2018 Ford EcoSport is not a performance car and is not even interested in having fun. This subcompact crossover is made for A-to-B transport. Some folks are OK with that low bar. But can the EcoSport even accomplish that modest task? Testing director Kim Reynolds found the EcoSport an honest commuter car with predictable understeer when cornering. He noted there wasn鈥檛 enough power to get anyone into trouble. But that鈥檚 about as strong as the praise gets. Even in terms of running errands and commuting, the EcoSport falls somewhat flat. It rides fine when you鈥檙e on road surfaces that are as smooth as glass. But it tramlines the grooves on the road, tiptoes over small bumps, and crashes over big ones鈥攚hile shaking the whole cabin. All-wheel-drive-equipped models may ride better, as they come with an independent rear suspension instead of the torsion beam found in our front-drive tester. With 123 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque from its 1.0-liter EcoBoost turbo I-3, the 2018 EcoSport is one of the least powerful subcompact crossovers.
May 2018 - The trend for ever less viscous motor oils as a contribution to lower fuel consumption and emissions can be found in all car markets. Special Tec LR 0W-20 is officially approved by Jaguar Land Rover Ltd. This STJLR 51.5122 approval is required in the latest petrol engines in Jaguars and Land Rovers. Oliver Kuhn, assistant laboratory manager at LIQUI MOLY. The engineers at Jaguar and Land Rover use this as one of many adjust screws to reduce consumption and minimize emissions. After all, a thin oil can be more easily pumped and has less inside resistance. This means the engine loses less performance. Special Tec LR 0W-20 is a special development exclusively for Jaguar and Land Rover. Oliver Kuhn. That's why Special Tec LR 0W-20 is not suitable for any other models. Alongside ever more viscous oils, this is the second trend: Ever more specialized oils with ever smaller areas of use. In other words: The variety of oil types will continue to rise and therefore it will become more and more difficult for garages and car drivers to keep an overview. Just enter the make, model and engine to immediately view a list of the right oils.
