Jaguar Land Rover today further enhanced its Middle East test programme by opening a new engineering test centre in Dubai, UAE, to conduct extreme hot weather vehicle research, development and testing. With temperatures in the desert typically reaching 48 to 50 degrees Celsius in the summer months, the new 11,120 sq. ft. Al Barsha area of Dubai, UAE will offer a comprehensive range of tests including durability, calibration and hot weather testing for heat and humidity. The engineering team at the new centre, which replaces a smaller facility in Dubai, will also test powertrains, chassis and heat and ventilation systems, as well as the off-road and sand driving capability of Land Rover鈥檚 unique Terrain Response system. Jaguar Land Rover has a network of five global test facilities: Nurburgring, Germany; Arjeplog, Sweden; Phoenix and International Falls, USA, and Dubai, UAE. He continued: 鈥淥ur new facility in Dubai is four times the size of the previous test centre and will enable us to enhance our testing of future products and technologies. Robin Colgan, Managing Director Jaguar Land Rover MENA (Middle East and North Africa) added: 鈥淲e are delighted at the expansion of Jaguar Land Rover鈥檚 test facilities in the Middle East. Dubai offers some unique and very challenging environmental conditions, so if a vehicle passes our tests here we know it will perform in any hot weather environment.

Actually, the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover is much the same as before in many ways, right down to the familiar silhouette. Like VW and its perennial Golf, Land Rover has chosen not to mess with a flavor its customers love. But there are plenty of changes under the familiar skin. The outgoing Range Rover was impressive for many things, but lightness was not one of them. So it's no surprise that this fourth-generation model has been shorn of weight. In the case of the top-spec 5.0-liter V8 version we drove, we're talking about a difference of 550 pounds. The fact that it still tips the scales at 5,126 pounds tells you just how dense the previous version had become. How did Land Rover pare the pounds? By redesigning the Range Rover's core structure, which makes it the world's first all-aluminum SUV monocoque body shell. It's 39 percent lighter than the previous steel body, and the weight-saving mission permeates virtually every crevice of this Range Rover.
This is about the same as LR2鈥檚 competitors. The Rover LR2 rides high, but you will not feel as though you have to strain your hamstrings when climbing inside. The cargo height is also ideal for loading, which is a perk for many. Land Rover manufactured the model in three main trim levels. You can also buy a used one with either the Black Pack or the Silver Pack. Each package has a navigation system and notable exterior detailing. Both cars include trim enhancements as well as 19-inch alloy wheels. There is even a Climate Comfort package. This one includes a heated windshield, heated steering wheel, and heated seats. What Is Some Optional Equipment? Land Rover gives you the option of adding equipment and amenities that appeal to you. These make owning the Rover more enjoyable. What Is It Like to Drive? The 2015 has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This engine produces a full 240 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a six-speed transmission, the select SUV has an acceptable amount of pick-up power. In reviews, the model reached 60 miles per hour in 8.2 seconds. All-wheel drive is standard. In the area of fuel economy, the Rover gets 17 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. The automaker equipped the auto with its Terrain Response system. This is a feature that lets you choose the drive mode, such as normal, grass, gravel, and snow/mud/ruts. How Much Will You Pay for a Used LR2? 22,000 for a 2015. As you look around, you will likely come across a number that fits into your budget instead of making an error with a more costly Land Rover LR2.
