The Range Rover Evoque first arrived on the scene in 2013, and the 2020 model year ushers in the second generation!

For the 2019 model year, the Range Rover Evoque had a 2.0L turbocharged engine with 237 horsepower and 251 lb-ft torque. Those specs increase for the…

People are talking a lot about the 2020 Range Rover Sport. That's because the luxury SUV, along with its bigger sibling, is getting a hybrid powertrain that will merge the worlds of discerning high-end style and green sensibilities.

It'll be awhile before the 2020MY arrives at our Seaside CA dealership.

Buying or leasing a new Land Rover Discovery from our Seaside CA dealership is an exciting experience, and we know you're doing plenty of research before you come in from Salinas CA or Monterey for a test drive. Here are some changes for the 2019 Land Rover Discovery that help make the capable and premium SUV even more exciting.

• Touch controls on the steering wheel aren't anything new, but the Land Rover Discovery buttons for the 2019MY are more intuitive and easier to use.
• The SE (the base trim) has a lot of new standard features. Some of…

For many years the new inventory lineup at our Seaside CA dealership could be split into two distinct groups. For all-out luxury there's the Range Rover family that doesn't shy away from flaunting high-end looks around Salinas CA and for a balance of adventure and style there's the Land Rover Discovery Family. In the coming months, the inventory will grow to adopt a new sect: the Land Rover Defender Family!

The Land Rover Defender stopped global production in 2016, but the model hasn't been available for US sales since the late 1990s. Lucky drivers can snag…

Land Rover is a unique brand for a few reasons. For one, it's a luxury nameplate that focuses only on SUVS. Land Rover also has a reputation for unparalleled capability. Lastly, and what we'll focus on in this blog, is how the brand actually has two distinct lineups under one badge! If you're unfamiliar with the brand basics we'll break it down briefly:

• Land Rover (the company) currently sells six luxury SUVS, and you can find them all at our Seaside CA dealership
• Four of the SUVS have the Range Rover title in them, and they…

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is one of our top-selling models, but the smaller SUV might be a bit tight for your needs. If that's the case you don't need to worry because you can instead test drive the larger Land Rover Discovery at our Seaside CA dealership!

Passenger Space:

Like the smaller Land Discovery Sport, the Land Rover Discovery is a standard five-passenger model that customers, like those we serve from Salinas CA, can upgrade to a three-row, seven-passenger setup. What we love the most about the available third-row is that you can have both seats up…

Many shoppers that come to our Seaside dealership for a new Land Rover model are loyal to the brand, but of course there are those who are testing out a few luxury SUVS to find the right one to take back to their Monterey CA home. Today, we want to compare our Range Rover Evoque to the BMW X3.

• Off-Road Capability: right away we have to touch on the off-road capabilities! The Range Rover Evoque, in true brand form, is meant to go places. If you want to get away from Salinas pavement and go off-roading, the Range Rover Evoque…
