Best Compact SUVs in Canada: Our 10 Top Picks
It’s no secret that the compact SUV has replaced both compact and mid-size cars. It’s easy to understand why. These vehicles offer much more cargo space than the cars on which they’re based, while adding the high ride height and all-wheel drive capability of a sport utility vehicle.
They’ve become so popular, that pretty much all car makers now offer one, and the selection has never been this good.
Here are our 10 top picks for compact SUVs in Canada. They're all available in our used small SUV inventory here, if you're ready to start shopping now.
10) Jeep Cherokee
Who is this for? Families looking for an SUV that can tow more than the competition and offer the off-road capability of a Jeep.
Why we like it:
- More capable off-road than main rivals
- The best towing rating in its class
- Proven drivetrains
Great option for towing those small toys to the weekend cabin
Jeep’s Cherokee may often be overlooked for being a bit rough around the edges, but there’s no denying what it brings to the party. For starters, it’s a Jeep, which means its trail-rated all-wheel drive system is the most capable in a beaten trail. A Trailhawk model adds even more gear to enhance outdoor adventures.
Then there’s the Cherokee’s 4,000-pound towing rating for the four-cylinder and 4,500-pound capacity with the V6. No other compact SUV offers can pull this much. As a matter of fact, none of its rivals offer the option of a V6 engine.
We’ll add that the Cherokee’s drivetrains, whether it be the turbocharged 2.0L four cylinder, or the 3.2L V6, have proven themselves many times over from a reliability standpoint.
For something a little larger in mid-size form, here’s our first drive review of the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
09) Chevrolet Equinox / GMC Terrain
Who is this for? Young families looking for a rational compact SUV that won’t let them down and offer decent cargo space.
Why we like it:
- Impressive reliability record
- Shift on the fly AWD system
- A lot of standard equipment at a decent price
An underrated pair of small SUVs offering great value
In this segment, it’s easy to forget that the Chevrolet Equinox and the GMC Terrain twins still exist. It’s a shame, since these two American compact SUVs both boast an impressive reliability record and decent equipment at a reasonable price.
Chevrolet recently trimmed down the engine hierarchy to only one option: a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine that’s good for 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. While not as engaging to drive as the old 2.0L unit, it’s a solid drivetrain that not only lasts a long time but allows these SUVs to be rather frugal at the pump.
This engine is mated to either a six-speed automatic transmission in the Equinox or a nine-speed unit in the Terrain, allowing these twins to tow up to 1,500 pounds.
Those looking for a bit more customization from their GM crossover can opt for the off-road ready GMC Terrain AT4 or surprisingly premium Terrain Denali.
Take a look at our full 2022 GMC Terrain review here.
08) Nissan Rogue
Who is this for? Families looking for a very rational SUV that won’t cost them an arm and a leg.
Why we like it:
- Well priced and cheap to own
- Tried and proven drivetrain
- Class-leading cargo space
Despite its smaller size, the Rogue can haul a lot
The Nissan Rogue brings nothing innovative to this segment, but its 2.5L four-cylinder engine is simple, costs very little to repair and has proven itself many times over from a reliability standpoint.
Those looking for something even more fuel-efficient can opt for a 1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder engine. In any form, the Rogue is sophisticated, well put together, comfortable and loaded with neat technology, like a WiFi hotspot and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also boasts the highest cargo rating in the segment, besting even the almighty Toyota RAV4 (1,976 litres) 2,064 liters.
You can read our full impressions and review of the Nissan Rogue here.
07) Ford Bronco Sport
Who is this for? Families looking for an SUV that’ll follow them in their craziest outdoor adventures.
Why we like it:
- Impressive off-road capability
- A choice of fuel-efficient engines
- Witty storage solutions, ready for all sorts of adventures
For the Ford Escape fans seeking adventure
Yes, the Bronco Sport is essentially a rebadged Ford Escape, but there’s nothing about it that looks nor feels like its corporate twin. That’s because Ford really wanted it to be a baby Bronco next to its burlier Bronco Raptor and Bronco Everglades siblings, meaning it was injected with a slew of technology and accessories that allow it to go further than the competition in a beaten trail.
No matter which Bronco Sport you choose, you can be sure it’ll get up that steep incline or that it won’t get you stuck in that snowbank. Whether you opt for the 181-horsepower turbocharged 1.5L three cylinder or the more interesting 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0L unit, the Bronco Sport simply delivers. View more Bronco engine options here.
While it can tow less than an Escape (2,200 pounds versus 3,500 pounds), the Bronco Sport is geared for adventure thanks to its massive 1,840 liters of available cargo, witty storage solutions scattered around its cabin and an available bike rack that allows you to stow your bike inside the vehicle. It’s just the most hardcore compact SUV of the bunch.

06) Mazda CX-5
Who is this for? Families who are willing to sacrifice a bit of cargo space in favour of a sporty driving experience and low running costs.
Why we like it:
- Well put together
- Fun to drive and quick off the line (Turbo model)
- Fairly priced and bulletproof reliable
A sporty crossover with style and reliability
With the arrival of the CX-50 within Mazda’s lineup of SUVs this year, it’s easy to dismiss the aging CX-5 updated in 2022. But the truth of the matter is that although it offers absolutely nothing technologically more advanced than its rivals (no hybrid or plug-in hybrid option), this is still a wonderfully capable SUV.
For starters, it’s arguably the best-looking compact utility vehicle currently on sale. It’s also supremely well built, with high quality paint, tight panel gaps and an upscale interior.
Then there’s the way it drives. No matter which engine you choose whether it be the naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder, or the turbocharged version of that same engine, the CX-5 is fun, spirited and sporty.
You’ll want to go out for long drives in this one, a rare characteristic for a class of vehicles that typically focuses on safety and fuel-efficiency. Oh, one more thing: the CX-5 is reliable. Very reliable. Stories of owners stacking up kilometers versus minor maintenance are frequent. It’s just a darn good vehicle.
05) Subaru Forester
Who is this for? Families looking for a compact SUV that has the surefootedness and the reliability of a Subaru.
Why we like it:
- Subaru’s renowned all-wheel drive system
- Capable Wilderness trim
- Well put together, comfortable and reliable
The long-running, reliable crossover with standard AWD
The Subaru Forester brings nothing innovative to the segment, yet it deserves the fifth spot on this list due to its ability to perform in the areas that matter.
Its 2.5L Boxer flat four-cylinder may not be the most powerful one of the bunch with its 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque, but the fact that it sits so low in the engine compartment helps considerably lower the Forester’s center of gravity. When coupled with the company’s renowned symmetrical all-wheel drive system, the Forester does miracles during a tough Canadian blizzard.
Highly comfortable, well put together and impressively frugal at the pump, the Forester offers a more extreme Wilderness version for consumers that have a thirst for adventure. Fortified by way of skid plates, a slightly lifted suspension, off-road tires and a retuned rear differential, the Forester Wilderness is surprisingly capable over a beaten path.
Read our full Forester Wilderness review here.
04) Ford Escape
Who is this for? Families looking for an SUV that can tow more than the competition, or simply an SUV that’s super fuel efficient.
Top features we like:
- Class-competitive towing rating
- A wide range of drivetrains to choose from
- Available hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions
Canada’s top-selling compact SUV for a reason – now with hybrid powertrain
It’s easy to understand why the Ford Escape has long been a Canadian favourite, ranking among one of the best-selling compact SUVs in the country. That’s because it does a bang-up job of adapting to different types of consumers.
For the current generation model, which was introduced for the 2020 model year, Ford pushed that ethos a step further. Consumers can opt for a 181-horsepower 1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder engine, a 250-horsepower 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, a 200-horsepower hybrid 2.5L four-cylinder or a plug-in hybrid model that’ll drive about 60 km on pure electricity on a single charge.
Above all that, when the Escape is equipped with the turbocharged 2.0L engine, it will tow up to 3,500 pounds, which is higher than most compact SUVs in this category.
If you’re interested in the hybrid, here’s our full Ford Escape PHEV review.
03) Honda CR-V
Who is this for? Young families seeking a sensible, reliable and fuel-efficient SUV that’ll offer the most cargo space in its class.
Top features we like:
- The largest cargo space in the segment
- Available hybrid powerplant
- The expected Honda reliability and resale value
Gains bigger dimensions and new hybrid option (finally)
Entirely built in Canada, the Honda CR-V is a juggernaut of an SUV. Not only is it among one of the best-selling models in North America, but it has also proven itself from a reliability standpoint many times over, all while recording a fabulous resale value.
The 2022 model year brings a sixth generation CR-V that’s larger than ever before and that finally offers a hybrid drivetrain, a feature the Canadian market never got in the last generation model.
Thanks to its increased dimensions, the new CR-V walks all over the competition in terms of cargo space thanks to a total of 2,166 litres when all seatbacks are folded down. That’s a full 20 litres more than the model it replaces.
While the hybrid powertrain is the one to opt for if you’re trying to lower your expenses at the pump, the turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder is rather fuel-efficient as well. Its 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque are also ample to get this compact SUV up and running in a jiffy.
02) Hyundai Tucson/Kia Sportage
Who is this for? Families looking for a sophisticated compact SUV that also offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid possibilities.
Top features we like:
- Available hybrid and plug-in hybrid drivetrains
- Spacious and comfortable
- Sophisticated and loaded with technology
Loads of style, engine options, and more
The Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage have come a long way in only two decades. What were once alternatives to a second-hand vehicle have now become serious contenders in the compact SUV space.
The latest generations of these South-Korean twins bring sophistication and technology to the segment. Both are impeccably well put together, comfortable, and spacious, boasting 2,119 litres (Tucson) and 2,098 litres (Sportage) of total cargo space.
Consumers can choose between three available drivetrains: either a naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder that’s good for 181 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, a hybrid 1.6L turbocharged four that pumps out 227 combined horsepower, or a plug-in hybrid layout that develops 261 combined horsepower and can drive up to 50 kilometers on pure electricity.
Add to that a lot of equipment for the price and an interior that could be mistaken for a premium vehicle, and it’s easy to see why these twins have landed second on our list.
Take a look at our 2023 Kia Sportage first drive review here.
01) Toyota RAV4
Who is this for? Families looking for a tried and tested compact SUV that’s proven itself many times over from a reliability standpoint and that offers a wide range of available versions.
Top features we like:
- A wide range of models to choose from
- The expected Toyota quality and reliability
- Available hybrid and plug-in hybrid powerplants
A top Canadian crossover that simply checks most of the boxes
The Toyota RAV4 is the Alpha compact SUV. It simply covers all areas of the segment, allowing it to stand tall over the rest. Consumers can choose between 10 different models, kicking things off with a base LE FWD model at $31,379 all the way to the almighty $47,039 plug-in hybrid RAV4 Prime.
That one, by the way, offers the best electric range in the segment at 70 km. It’s also eligible for all EV incentives. This means that if you live in the province of Quebec, for example, you’ll get a full $10,000 off the price of your RAV4 Prime.
If your budget’s a little tighter, Toyota also offers the RAV4 hybrid. Kicking off at $35,739, it’s a bargain considering it’ll average about 5L/100 km. And if adventure is more your thing, the RAV4 has that covered as well in its Trail version that adds torque vectoring all-wheel drive for improved off-road capability. Oh, did we mention that the Trail version will tow 3,500 pounds? The RAV4 TRD Offroad is definitely a top mud-slinging small SUV for families.
Is there something the RAV4 cannot do? We think not, which is why we ranked it first on this list.

If you’re following us on Twitter, Instagram or Tumblr, you will know that summer (named by season, not the weather) has been popping off here in London and it keeps getting better it seems.
Legendary footwear and apparel brand, Converse have just announced the line up for their summer series ‘Represent’ which will run from July 30th to August 10th at the iconic 100 club. The likes of Nas, Plan B, Santigold, Yuna, SBTRKT, Rudimental, Paul Weller, Friends, Kano and so many more. Perfect line up to soak in those Olympic summer evenings in.
For your chance to win tickets, head over to the Converse website.
“Oooh Shit!!”… That’s what the opening bars of Melé’s ‘Gold Casio’ had me saying. This relentless sonic onslaught flits from Hip-Hop to Techno via some next carnival vibe. This tune is large – but, frustrating short. So more please! Word is that apparently he has also just finished shooting a video for a track called ‘Beamer’ featuring Kano - should be very interesting.
For more from Liverpool’s 19 year old up and coming producer check his Souncloud.
In what is probably their biggest live event to date (and with Red Bull, that’s saying something) RBMA will be taking over the London Eye on October 13th 2011 to present ‘Revolutions in Sound’ – the worlds first music festival in the sky. Each pod on the capital’s largest wheel will be taken over by a crew or artist. As you would imagine, space is very limited but for those not lucky enough to have been allocated a ticket – the audio will be streamed online for all to enjoy.
Acts taking part include: Wretch 32, Skream & Benga, Benji B/Deviation, Rodigan, Metalheadz, Ms Dynamite, Kano, Digital Soundboy Soundsystem (Shy FX, Breakage, Donae’o), Andreya Triana, Ben Westbeech, Zinc and a whole heap of others.
Mind blowing. It’s hard to fathom how this will work, but if anyone can pull it off – it’s these guys.
Tickets can be applied for via RBMA’s website. Apply quick because these will go.
Officially the last month of our beloved British summer, so best make the most of it. There’s loads of free gigs to save the pennies in your pocket, including PinBoard co-signed song bird Szjerdene and electronic R’n'B infused duo Creep.
After hitting the town last month for a couple of DJ sets, Q Tip is back. Full band and a whole show to himself. Legendary. Lastly, us PinBoard lot will be down at a couple of our favourite festivals this month including the big one for me, Big Chill. Any Kanye fans/stans out there? Holler!
Check out the rest of the festivals and what else is happening in the capital after the jump.
Our friends over at Red Bull Studios London recently celebrated their 1st birthday by putting on one of the most epic parties I’ve been to in a while. Pure vibes. Red Bull HQ was transformed into a live venue / rave platform – where free drinks & pizza flowed endlessly. Music was provided by the likes of Skream & Benga and Benji B, with a energetic live performance from Kano. If this is how they get down after just one year, I can’t imagine what they’ll be doing for their terrible two’s.
Watch the video up top to get a sense of the madness that ensued that night. As I said, epic.
On a personal note, we’re extremely proud to have exclusively partnered up with Red Bull Studios London for our on-going Rehearsal Rooms series. The studio does incredible work, but more importantly is run by a great team of people who genuinely love music. Working with them has been an absolute blast and we’re really excited about what’s coming next – stay tuned fam, it’s going to be spesh.
Here are the new visuals for that Stones Throw G….. MED. “Classic” is produced by Karriem Riggins. Directed by The Qualities of Light (Shane Sakanoi & Rich Hama) and features the mighty Kweli. The production on this is heavyweight and has been getting major rewinds this past week. Love it
Our good friends over at Red Bull Studios London sent me this remix of Ghostpoet’s ‘Cash & Carry Me Home’ featuring London emcee Kano. The two got together in their studio (ya know, the one we film in) to record the remix, the result is pretty tasty. Listen and download it via the Soundcloud player below…
We got a very special something coming from Ghostpoet in the next couple weeks, hold tight for that.
This little lady is fast becoming my favourite live performer on London’s Soul circuit. The singer songwriter from West London is currently causing quite a stir! The business and Law graduate has been focusing on Music for quite sometime now having had the opportunities to perform with the likes of Raphael Saadiq, Kano, Estelle, Faith Evans, touring with Al Green and Gabrielle and working with well respected producers Bugz In The Attic and 4Hero has a wealth of experience and is now beginning to show everyone what she is all about.
Her EP Introduction To Miss Charles features production from UK Favourites Truth Movement and Colin Emmanuel aka “Black Einstein” and is a slice of quality RnB Soul with a distinct UK flavouring over it. Highlights include “Your My Boy”, “My Journey” and the standout single “You Are The One” checkout the excellent video.
Dopeness indeed but its Live where my girl is really killing it. Backed by a full band she has been rocking crowds with her sublime vocals and authentic Soul sound. The band are ridiculous with some mean grooves, runs and stabs and just simply tight as HELL! Whilst Nadine’s voice floats over the music commanding you’re attention. Here’s a recent clip of her performing at Aesthetic Sounds supporting Glen Lewis.
Love it! She is doing what a lot of UK artists are failing to bringing that quality on all levels. Good recordings, good video and good live set you can’t go wrong. She’ll be supporting Marsha Ambrosius @ Dingwalls Camden on Dec 27 get tickets here and get hold of her EP at Bandcamp below. I suggest you get to know about Nadine Charles.
Want to hear more from Nadine checkout our interview with her on The latest Music is Remedy Podcast here
Remaking ‘Pow’ was never going to be easy. It’s a classic on these shores. But Lethal Bizzle took on the challenge and enlisted the help of some of the biggest and hottest emcees of the day to help him. We got Wiley, JME, Ghetts, Chipmunk, Kano, 2 Face and P Money – each one do their damn thing. Can’t be denied.
Is it as good as the orginal? Hmm, I don’t know. It’s pretty hard, still.

The outcome of the stressors and challenges of childhood and adolescence is often manifested as academic failure, acting out behaviors, anger, frustration, disrespect to teachers and parents, oppositional behavior, discipline problems at school, social isolation or withdrawal, or any combination thereof. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to assess not only the manifestation of the problem, but the etiological reasons beneath the surface. A comprehensive evaluation includes an assessment of intelligence, executive functioning, academic skills, and social-emotional functioning, as well as a developmental and social history. The outcome of such a diagnostic evaluation is a comprehensive delineation of the individual's strengths and needs in order to develop and implement the most appropriate program of intervention to improve their overall functioning. Such evaluations are available through Pathways for children and adolescents from the elementary grades through college.
An evaluation of intelligence and cognitive abilities includes an in-depth assessment and analysis of verbal reasoning, acquired knowledge, perceptual organization, fluid reasoning, working memory, non-verbal reasoning, and processing speed. This primary component of a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is critical in identifying an individual's learning style as well as their strengths and needs in information processing and overall intellectual ability. It provides the baseline of intellectual ability and expectation.
An evaluation of executive functioning includes an in-depth assessment and analysis of self regulation capacities used to direct or cue that which an individual perceives, feels, thinks, and does. These executive function capacities include (but are not limited to): organization, cognitive flexibility, planning, time, self monitoring, prioritization, and emotional control. Along with other assessments, this important component of a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is vital in the development and implementation of effective programs of intervention and/or educational therapies.
An evaluation of social and emotional functioning involves an in-depth assessment and analysis of interpersonal and intrapersonal factors that may impair a major life function. Such an evaluation may begin with a functional behavioral analysis, leading to a consideration of how social interactions and emotional issues impact an individual's behavior, culminating in a positive behavior support plan for school and/or home. Other avenues of assessment may follow a combination of standardized measures with diagnostic counseling, leading to a program of individual counseling.
An evaluation of academic ability involves an in-depth assessment and analysis of academic skills. Such an evaluation will provide a detailed description of the individual's ability in reading (e.g., phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, comprehension); math (e.g., numeracy, basic facts and calculations, time, measurement, money); and written expression (e.g., letter formation, conventions, paragraph writing). This component of a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is needed to identify areas of strength and needs in order to develop effective interventions for academic support in school.

The graphics are going to be good.
Since we first heard the announcement about Rise of the Tomb Raider coming to Microsoft’s signature consoles, we’ve also been hearing about just how hard the developers have been working to make the game really special looking. The developers already confirmed that they will be bringing the newest version of the hair technology in the game. This is a bit of a staple when it comes to the rebooted Tomb Raider franchise.
Now, Brian Horton, the game’s director has taken to Twitter in order to confirm just how far Crystal Dynamics is willing to go in order to make sure the game looks as realistic as possible. Horton was actually answering a question from another Twitter user, wondering if the rumors that Crystal Dynamics wasn’t going to use Physical Based Rendering (PBR) in Rise of the Tomb Raider were true. Turns out those rumors are actually false, according to Horton.
Not only is the game using PBR but Horton explained that they are actually using a souped up version of the tech. “We are using PBR with a new image based probe system for indirect lighting and reflections.” He said in response to the question. For those not aware, PBR tech brings realistic lighting to objects in the game world. You’ll get to see this in action when Rise of the Tomb Raider launches for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One on November 10, 2015 with it launching on the PS4 and PC sometime in 2016.

Objectives: To determine how the intrinsic severity of successively dominant SARS-CoV-2 variants changed over the course of the pandemic.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis in the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHS GGC) Health Board. All sequenced non-nosocomial adult COVID-19 cases in NHS GGC with relevant SARS-CoV-2 lineages (B.1.177/Alpha, Alpha/Delta, AY.4.2 Delta/non-AY.4.2 Delta, non-AY.4.2 Delta/Omicron, and BA.1 Omicron/BA.2 Omicron) during analysis periods were included. Outcome measures were hospital admission, ICU admission, or death within 28 days of positive COVID-19 test. We report the cumulative odds ratio; the ratio of the odds that an individual experiences a severity event of a given level vs all lower severity levels for the resident and the replacement variant after adjustment.
Results: After adjustment for covariates, the cumulative odds ratio was 1.51 (95% CI: 1.08-2.11) for Alpha versus B.1.177, 2.09 (95% CI: 1.42-3.08) for Delta versus Alpha, 0.99 (95% CI: 0.76-1.27) for AY.4.2 Delta versus non-AY.4.2 Delta, 0.49 (95% CI: 0.22-1.06) for Omicron versus non-AY.4.2 Delta, and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.68-1.09) for BA.2 Omicron versus BA.1 Omicron.
Conclusions: The direction of change in intrinsic severity between successively emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants was inconsistent, reminding us that the intrinsic severity of future SARS-CoV-2 variants remains uncertain.

Because of the John Waupsh |
If you’ve been experiencing the fresh new analysts and pundits, Fruit put-out a product or service toward February twenty five one was not much so you’re able to write family about. Because of the credit card standards they rated as an average giving. Of the Apple conditions, it wasn’t another type of product otherwise innovative tech.
So what is actually really taking place having Apple’s next larger attempt on the the world of financial technical (Fruit Spend as being the earliest)? Turns out Fruit Ceo Tim Create entitled the key material one to usually place the latest Fruit Credit aside.

Somebody want you to transmit a made knowledge of the new station of choice which can be all the more through cellular.

The SUV has refined for every occasion and uses unique and sustainable materials and advanced engineering which will help Land Rover to continue their drive to go above and beyond.
The new Velar underpins Jaguar’s aluminium-intensive IQ platform which also underpins the F-Pace Crossover. The SUV comes with many class leading features on both outsides as well as inside.

Like they have promised Land Rover deed introduce the Velar on the first day of March. This is actually the fourth member which has joined the RR family. According to Land Rover there are five elements which define the all new Velar SUV. These are driven by reduction, the entire SUV has been designed and engineered with belief in reductionism. The second element that the British auto manufacturer has kept in mind while building the Velar is it has been equipped with technology-enabled design which will provide the next logical step in expanding the RR portfolio. The third and perhaps the most important point about the Velar is that, the entire RR range originated from the original Velar prototypes of 1969. The last element which influences the Velar is that it also promises to incorporate advanced technologies and attention to detail. Land Rover also claims that the Velar has also been refined for every occasion.
The new Velar is based on JLR’s new lightweight Aluminium Architecture and can take on any terrain thrown in its way. So without any further due let us get straight into the details.

This test proves the SUV’s capabilities of performing in any terrain and in any pace
We still haven’t yet found out why did Land Rover actually created such a wild production SUV in the form of the Range Rover Sport SVR. I mean SUV’s are built to take on the rough terrains which are not accessible by any other usual four wheeled vehicles and they actually don’t have to be fast only tough enough to take on roads or no roads. But the Range Rover Sport SVR proved us all wrong. This wild beast can not only handle bad terrains but actually can give nightmares to many sportscars with its incredibly fast acceleration.
Just imagine with all the 550 Hp of peak power this heavy SUV can accelerate from 0-100 km/h mark in just 4.7 seconds that is almost equal to the time that the Porsche Cayman 718 takes to reach the three digit speeds. Since its introducing back in 2015 the RR SVR has been setting records. Recently Land Rover tested their wild SUV’s acceleration capability in 6 completely different terrains.
The Range Rovers first test was to take on the Europe’s fastest racing circuit, Rockingham Motor Speedway in Corby, UK. The second test was performed on a much tougher wet grass surface. The third test was performed on gravel surface. The fourth test was performed on Mud and Ruts. The last two terrain tests were performed on Pendine Sands at Carmarthen Bay in South Wales while the final test was not actually dependent on speed but something little different which tested the SUV’s Rock crawl mode.
The petrol variant is available only with the SE trim
Land Rover launched the facelift Range Rover Evoque in India in December 2016 and now after a month the British auto manufacturer has introduced the petrol variant of the Evoque in India. The diesel variant which was introduced was during the time of the launch was powered by the new 2.0-litre Ingenium motor which replaced the 2.2 Litre unit.
Now the petrol variant which was introduced earlier today gets the 2.0-litre petrol mill which produces about 241 Hp of peak power. This is the same unit which powers the Discovery Sport as well. The Petrol variant of the Evoque is available only with the SE trim. The other variants which are available with the diesel unit include Pure, SE, SE Dynamic, HSE and HSE Dynamic trims.
Some other features which are available on the facelift variant of the Evoque include redesigned headlamps with xenon headlights, the headlamps unit also gets integrated LED DRLs lamps, panoramic sunroof and also17-inch alloy wheels as well towards its side profile. The rear profile on the other hand gets redesigned taillamps as well. Inside the updated Evoque features height adjustable driver seat, a completely new eight-inch InControl Touch infotainment system with navigation.
The petrol variant Range Rover Evoque rivals the likes of the new BMW X3 which also recently introduced its petrol variant.
The updated RR Evoque also gets a petrol engine option apart from the diesel unit
Land Rover launched the new and updated Range Rover Evoque in India today. The best selling model from Land Rover prices starts from INR. 49.10 lakh for the base Pure trim while the top end HSE Dynamic trim is priced at INR. 64.65 lakh.
The updated RR Evoque hasn’t received any major changes in terms of styling but instead decided to equip the SUV with more features. As a result of that the new RR Evoque gets a restyled front bumper and also a new grille. To make it looks slightly more aggressive it even features bigger air intakes as well. As far as some other exterior features are concerned it gets full LED headlamps as well. Just like the front profile the rear profile too gets an updated LED taillamps as well. Inside things looks new as well, to begin with the RR Evoque gets redesigned instrument cluster and soft touch materials. The seats too has been redesigned as well, the front seats gets massage function as well available as an option. The dashboard also gets an 8.0 inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Apart from all that some other new features includes an all terrain progress control, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Attention Assist Estimation.
Coming to the drivetrain the new Range Rover Evoque gets the 2.0 Liter Ingenium series engine which is capable of producing about 177 Hp of peak power. All that power is send to the 4 wheels of the SUV via the 9 speed automatic transmission. This drivetrain is more fuel efficient and is also lighter by almost 20 kilograms than the previous engine. Land Rover will also introduce a petrol engine as well from January 2017 onward.
Hopefully this is the clearest view of the new Discovery before its official unveiling
Land Rover comes out with innovative ideas everytime before the launch or during the launch of their new products. This time around the British Auto maker has actually done something which will surprise most of you. We all know by now that Land Rover is all set to launch the new generation Discovery soon and they already have shared a teaser video of this upcoming SUV describing some of the features that you will find inside the cabin.
Now in another teaser video they actually have wrapped their upcoming SUV in a new camouflage drawn by kids. Yes! You read that right, the Utility vehicle manufacturer actually let a group of children design the SUV’s final camouflage before its official unveiling at the end of this month.
Land Rover will soon take the covers of the new generation Discovery which is based on the new PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform. As a result you can expect this new generation SUV to be lot lighter than its predecessor. Besides the new platform the new Disco gets its exterior styling inspiration from the Land Rover Discovery Vision concept which was showcased in 2014 New York Auto show. Apart from the exterior the interior too has received a thorough change as well along with some new features (You can read about the interior here). Under the hood the new Discovery will most probably get new petrol and diesel engines ranging from 2.0-3.0 Liters.
Watch this interesting video where you can actually see the new Land Rover Discovery covered in new kids camouflage takes on some offroad and hurdles with ease.
The new Discovery gets Intelligent Seat Fold technology
Recently we reported Land Rover has announced that they will be taking the covers of the 2017 Discovery at the Paris Motor show on September 28th 2016. Land Rover has already shared the first images of the Discovery and from what it looks like the SUV has taken lot of its styling inspiration from the Discovery vision concept showcased at the 2014 New York Auto show.
Quite honestly we didn’t had any idea how the interior of the new Discovery will look like but now Land Rover themselves have released a new video featuring none other than Adventurer Bear Grylls himself. In this video you can watch Land Rover showcasing Discovery’s new seat configuration technology. Using the InControl Remote app for iOS and Android smartphones the seats inside the SUV can be folded remotely from anywhere. Besides folding the seats the connected app also can provide you plenty of data as well about the SUV.
The seats can also be folded by pressing the switches provided inside the SUV’s cabin as well.
In this particular video you can actually watch adventurer Bear Grylls configure the seats of the all new Discovery while freefalling from the sky with the Royal Navy Parachute display team. This is world’s first car to get such kind of technology which allows the owner to configure the seats of their car with the help of a Smartphone.
Say hello!! To the Lightweight and agile new generation Discovery
Land Rover recently gave us a preview of their upcoming new generation Discovery with a teaser image of its front profile. The new Discovery will debut at the upcoming 2016 Paris Motor Show which will be held towards the end of the month of September.
This mid-sized SUV from Land Rover is one of the prestigious models from the British car maker which has been in the market since 1989. The upcoming Discovery which will grace the product lineup will be their third generation vehicle. The new generation model front profile has only been revealed which clearly shows that the new SUV has gotten over its boxy design and now has adopted a more modern design cues from the new generation LR vehicle family.
The Discover Sport will most probably use the same lightweight monocoque platform which is also used by the RR and the RR Sport. This new platform will help reduce plenty of weight which will help its overall performance. Expect this new Discovery to be more practical while it will also get a new powertrains under its hood.

Mercedes Benz is the most affected luxury automaker by Delhi diesel ban
Delhi and NCR is the place where most of the luxury cars can be seen in entire India. Being a diesel loving country the customers based in Delhi and NCR also love to buy diesel based luxury cars. And one more thing is, when it is about cars, we Indians love the SUVs. Now coming to our topic today the luxury SUVs in India has taken a toll recently.
The Delhi government imposed a ban on the 2000 cc and above diesel engine capacitated cars in the national capital region. Due to the large diesel engine no cars carrying 2000 cc and above diesel engines are allowed for registration in Delhi and NCR. Therefore the luxury auto manufacturers present in India has suffered a major sales decline, as this region itself comes with a large customer base for these companies. Three German luxury automaker – Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz are at the forefront of the affected automakers due to the ban in the region. Among these three auto manufacturers, Mercedes Benz has suffered the biggest blow, as the company is the best sold brand in the region, and a large number of their cars are capacitated with 2000 cc or larger diesel engines.
Here, we will take a close look at the luxury SUVs which have been affected by the diesel ban in Delhi and NCR.
Watch the SUV Pulls 58 Times More than Its weight
This is an absolutely remarkable video that we found on the internet this week and decided to share it with all of you. We know Land Rovers are exceptional vehicles when it comes to offroad but have you ever given it a thought that they are incredibly powerful as well at the same time. In this video you can watch a Land Rover Discovery sport pulls three railway carriages at the same time which actually weighs almost 100 Tonnes.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport which pulled the train along with it was fitted with guidance wheels just to keep it on track and apart from that everything else remains stock. The Discovery Sport is powered by a 2.0 Liter Ingenium diesel engine which produces about 178 Bhp of peak power and an impressive 430 Nm of torque which actually gives this baby SUV all that pulling power. In general the Discovery Sport can tow upto 2,500kg (2.5 tonnes) but in this video it is actually towing almost 58 times of its own weight which is absolutely amazing.
In the beginning we can watch it drive to the railway station where it actually gets hooked to that 3 carriages which together weighs 100 tonnes. The SUV without any strain was actually pull the carriages instantly and what further aided the Discovery Sport in pulling all that weight was the All Terrain Progress Control. This progress control managed the engine output and braking at the same time which actually helped to increase traction.

… is Norwich, UK and has been for 36 years of my life. I love Norwich and you would have to drag me kicking and screaming to move away. I love its people, its shops, its scenery, its history and its arts scene. But most of all I love it because its where my family and friends are.
I do however love to travel and have been fortunate to have a career in bookselling that has taken me to the USA, Canada, Ireland & most of Europe and even the Cayman Islands! My work travel philosophy is to make it count. This usually takes the form of finding a hill to climb up or a friend to visit in most locations I am lucky enough to be sent to. Working away from your family for days on end has to be worth it and staring at a hotel room wall doesn’t cut it.
In August 2019 my wife and I, with the help of our family and friends, created Bookbugs and Dragon Tales on Timberhill in Norwich. A glorious piece of our hearts in a huge 1850sq ft space for Books, Coffee, Cake, Play, Theatre, Craft, Art and general community hub. Using my wife’s 17 years in Performing Arts teaching and my own bookselling experience we believe we have created something special for Norwich and our customers seem to agree.
I want to use any or all of this experience to provide a service to the bookselling world. Deciding that, whilst I got an enormous amount of satisfaction from my previous role, it was time to move on into the big wide world. I have been fortunate that, due to my relatively high profile and solid reputation in the Indie Book shop world, Above the Treeline has given me the opportunity to work for them 4 days of my week from an office in our shop. Something I am thrilled about as everything they do reflects a passion for books and particularly book people. I am looking forward to delving deeper into their services and expand on the training I was already providing as part of my previous role.
My second role, taking up 1 day a week, is as general IT advisor and support to all Bookseller association members that need it. Obviously I can only do so much in the time given so mostly I will attempt to point you in the right direction. However I’ll also be trying to consider broad solutions where it might benefit the larger community. This is no less exciting (to me) and I feel very honoured to have been asked.
I see lots of opportunities for ways I can contribute further in the Book Industry and have tried to list a few in Services, but there will be other things. More than anything it has always disturbed me how often I see book shops being taken advantage of when they have had to call in paid technical services and I want to be there to advise and facilitate book shops taking more control over this aspect of their business.

The Next Galaxy: Galaxy S6 teased in promo video
Samsung’s The Next Galaxy Twitter account has released a teaser video about the Galaxy S6 and although it’s short, it gives us a bit of insight as to what the company is aiming for with the next flagship. The video seems like a surreal mix of industrial design samples, narrated by the “voice of the Galaxy S6” which sounds a bit computerized to be fair.
While Samsung doesn’t give out a lot about the Galaxy S6 per se, it does suggest the elements of its design and mostly confirms the fact that the phone will be a metal-clad one with a unibody design and non-removable battery. This much we knew for quite some time now, but the video also shows the actual shape of the Galaxy S6, which is the more interesting part about it. We’re not sure about this, but the image in the teaser might depict the Galaxy S6 Edge, in a way, as the bottom side of the phone seems to be a little curved, pointing towards an edge display.
— TheNextGalaxy (@SamsungMobile) February 20, 2015
In any case, the Galaxy S6 is set to be unveiled on March 1st at the MWC 2015, so we’re going to have a good hard look at what the device will look like then. So far, when it comes to specifications, all that we have to rely on are rumors and leaks, most of which are on par with each other. Accordingly, the most likely spec sheet for the Galaxy S6 includes a 5 inch QHD Super AMOLED display, a 64 bit Snapdragon 810 CPU, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, a 2400 mAh battery, 20 MP camera with OIS on the rear and 5 MP camera on the front. Many are a bit flabbergast about the battery size, as it’s actually smaller than the one found in the Galaxy S5 last year.
The smaller battery might make room for something else that is said to be featured on the Galaxy S6: fast wireless charging. Samsung hasn’t manufactured phones with built-in wireless charging so far, but it seems the company will be shifting its focus when it comes to the Galaxy S6 ad they are advertising 2015 as the year of wireless. Moreover, the wireless charging fits right into the “start from scratch” philosophy behind the Project Zero code-name given to the Galaxy S6 by the company. We’re excited about the new launch and we’re hoping for the best, although we might be disappointed, in the end.

Tourists hoping to get photographs of a DC-10 airplane on fire duty and area cabin owners were evacuated Saturday from the perimeter of the Columbia Complex of fires in southeast Washington state.
People had gathered outside the fire line, “wanting to get pictures of that plane,” fire spokesman Virgil Mink said. The scattered evacuations came late in the second day the DC-10 was on active fire duty, able to carry as much as 12,000 gallons of fire retardant on one run – eight times as much as anything else.
The area of concern was between local Pioneer Memorial Park and the Umatilla National Forest on the Washington-Oregon border, so far beyond reach of the flames.
“There are a lot of tourists out there,” Mink said. “People like to see what we do.”
The privately owned DC-10 – available at a cost of $26,000 an hour, three hours minimum – can drop a 50-foot swath of retardant on a mile to a mile and a half of forestland, he said.
“You can run through with a drip torch” and burn potential fuels on the edge of the fire to prevent the flames from spreading, leaving behind firefighting gear required when drops cover smaller areas.
By nightfall, the fire had charred 70,000 acres, or nearly 110 square miles, fire spokesman Charlie Armiger said.
The fire was about 10 percent contained, Mink said – mostly in the southeast corner “where the Coppei fire used to be” before four fires, all started by lightning strikes Monday, merged into the Columbia Complex.
In north-central Washington, the Tripod Complex of fires had burned through 135,694 acres, or about 212 square miles, spokesman Greg Thayer said. That blaze was 48 percent contained – up from 45 percent Friday.
Also in northcentral Washington, the Flick Creek and Tinpan fires had each seared more than 5,000 acres, roughly 8 square miles.

Arlington, Va. – The American Trucking Associations’ Agricultural and Food Transporters Conference (AFTC) recently released the Manager’s Guide to Safe Trucking During Agricultural Planting and Harvest Season. Available free for download at AFTC’s webpage, this guide provides educational resources for truck drivers and their managers in the agricultural industry, encouraging active strategies to improve safety during peak times of production.
“Promoting safety is important in all agricultural operations but especially critical in the case of truck driving,” said Russell Laird, ATA’s Agricultural and Food Transporters Conference Executive Director. “Our members are glad to share their expertise and best practices with the whole agricultural industry to give them practical strategies they can implement to help improve safety.”The guide focuses on active strategies for hiring decisions, communicating with drivers, and monitoring and managing fatigue.Generally, truck drivers are limited to a maximum of 11 driving hours per day under federal law, which are recorded in a log book that must be presented to a law enforcement officer upon request. However, during planting and harvest seasons, exemptions to these rules are given to motor carriers hauling agricultural products in certain parts of the country.
“Agricultural seasons often do not comply with exact schedules,” said Laird. “Weather determines when and how fast you move, so farmers need work flexibility to get their crops in and out of the fields.”Protecting the agricultural exemption for motor carriers is critical to crop production around the country. If eliminated, transportation for agriculture would become more difficult, more costly, and perhaps less safe. Imposing hours of service restrictions during planting and harvest seasons could force the use of more temporary and possibly less-experienced drivers.
The measures outlined in the Manager’s Guide can help the agricultural industry maintain the flexibility that is essential while achieving the safety results all desire.The American Trucking Associations is the largest national trade association for the trucking industry.
Through a federation of other trucking groups, industry-related conferences, and its 50 affiliated state trucking associations, ATA represents more than 37,000 members covering every type of motor carrier in the United States.
