In an interview with Inside Line, Land Rover’s Global Brand Director John Edwards revealed the auto maker will follow a top-down hybrid strategy, focusing on larger models “where the greatest consumption gains are to be made.”

The redesigned Land Rover Range Rover is set to be offered with a hybrid power plant in 2013. The following year, Land Rover will introduce a plug-in electric car, which will likely feature lithium-ion batteries and a small engine that acts as a generator.

The hybrid powertrains will use gasoline engines instead of the more efficient diesel setup teased in the Range_e concept. Vehicle specifics haven’t been finalized, Edwards added there are “currently no plans” for an Evoque hybrid in the US or UK.

Three engine options are available: a 2.2-liter turbodiesel in 148bhp or 187bhp, and a 236bhp 2.0-liter turbocharged gas unit.

Land Rover predicts that the more economical of the turbodiesels will emit less than 130g/km of CO2 in two-wheel drive manual form.

The five-door Evoque is roomier than the coupe, with a 30mm higher roofline, but as an illustration of Land Rover’s strategy for the car the range-topping model will still be the coupe, at £44,320 ($62,800 USD) for the Si4 Dynamic with six-speed auto and LUX pack.

LR4 comes with a 375-horsepower, 5.0-liter V-8 engine producing 375 pounds-feet of torque and is matted to a six-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive is standard, as it is on most Land Rover models. LR4 also has the company’s “Terrain Response system” – it allows the driver to change a vehicle’s characteristics, adapting to various driving conditions including mud, snow, and pavement.

Land Rover’s LR4 has a towing capacity of 7,716 pounds, payload topping out at 1,670 pounds. This puts the luxury auto ahead of most of its competition. Fuel economy is a bit of a downside, however – 12 mpg in the city and 17 highway. LR4 comes standard with 19-inch wheels with 20-inch ones optional. Halogen headlights are also standard, with bi-xenon units are offered if you want that high-tech look.

LR4′s height can be adjusted too, by using electronic air suspension if you require ground clearance – along with a hill start assist and hill descent feature. Land Rover says this gives “electronic assistance when navigating tough and slippery terrain.”

Inside, there’s plenty of luxury: heated leather seats and a heated steering wheel, door inserts and center console trim pieces made of straight-grained walnut wood and a 240-watt Harman Kardon audio system with nine speakers and an auxiliary input.

Need more? You can opt for a 480-watt Harman Kardon stereo with 14 speakers, or a HD and satellite radio, navigation system, and a DVD entertainment system. Land Rover adds wireless cell-phone links standard for 2011. The LR4 comes in from $48,000 to almost $60,000.

The limited edition also features its own set of gloss-black 16-inch alloy wheels in a Saw Tooth design. For the interior is a leather finish in Ebony with leather side bolsters for the seats.

Under the hood is the standard 2.4 liter diesel unit with 122 bhp and 266 lb-ft of torque. The 2011 Defender X-Tech was introduced at the Brussels Motor Show on January 10th.

The car is called a 2010 Range Rover Autobiography, and was presented to Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson on behalf of charity ‘Help for Heroes.’ The 2010 Range Rover will be auctioned off in an effort to raise upwards of $140,000 in order to provide assistance to wounded service people, as well as their families.

According to Land Rover’s Managing Director Phil Popham, “Land Rover is very proud to support the Help for Heroes charity by donating the one millionth Range Rover. Everyone involved in Land Rover – from the management, to the employees at Solihull, to the original Range Rover team – will be happy we’re able to mark this landmark occasion in such a way after the 40 years of producing this iconic vehicle.”

Land Rover has remained pretty much silent on details for the all new 2012 Evoque, but engine options are expected to include a 2.2-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel, a 3.2-liter gas inline six-cyl, and possibly a hybrid 2.0-liter. Front-wheel drive will be standard and all-wheel drive will be optional.

The three-door Evoque will make its public debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, we expect more information to be released in September.

The Project Kahn 2010 Range Rover Sport RS600 uses a supercharged 5.0-liter HSE petrol engine producing 600 horsepower. Aside from the performance boost, engineers added or adapted ten different body parts on the exterior.

22-inch RS alloy wheels have also been installed. The interior is kitted out with quilted leather front and rear seats, with the material also used on the dash and glove box. Black leather on the gear shift and steering wheel features contrasting stitches. Other features on the vehicle includes electric blue speedo, tach, and clock. Check out full details at Project Kahn
