Two Jaguar Land Rover products honored as most popular on Edmunds.com
- Jaguar #ftype named 2016 Most Popular on Edmunds.com Premium Sports Car
- Range Rover named 2016 Most Popular on Edmunds.com Premium Luxury SUV
- Second consecutive year Edmunds.comrecognizes both vehicles
(MAHWAH, N.J) - January 29, 2016 - #jaguarlandrover North America today announced that vehicles from both brands have been honored with 2016 Most Popular on Edmunds.com' awards.
The Jaguar #ftype has been identified by car shopping destination Edmunds as the 2016 Most Popular on Edmunds.com Premium Sports Car and the #rangerover was the 2016 Most Popular on Edmunds.com Premium Luxury #suv. This is the second year in a row both vehicles have been named a “Most Popular on Edmunds.com.”
For 2016, the Jaguar #ftype received a number of substantial upgrades. All R models now include standard Instinctive AllWheel Drive® in both coupe and convertible body styles, or as an option on V6-powered S models. Also new, rear-wheel drive V6-powered models have the choice of a six-speed manual gearbox, in addition to the standard eight-speed Quickshift transmission. The new transmission features a short-throw shifter, closely- spaced gear ratios and pedals perfectly placed for heel-and-toe shifting. All #ftype derivatives now feature standard Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS)1, helping to reduce parasitic drivetrain losses and improve steering precision. Each of these updates to the #ftype remain true to the core DNA of Jaguar vehicles – lightweight construction, refined power, perfect proportions and outstanding design.
"Winning Most Popular on Edmunds.com vehicles awards is a great achievement and caps a wonderful 2015 in which both the Jaguar #ftype and #rangerover increased sales and market share,” said #jaguarlandrover President and CEO, Joe Eberhardt. “These two vehicles define their respective brands and demonstrate Jaguar Land Rover's growing engineering and design leadership.We greatly appreciate this recognition from one of the most relied upon shopping and research outlets."
The current, fourth-generation, #rangerover debuted in 2013 as the world's first luxury #suv with aluminum-intensive unibody construction; offering significantly improved strength, agility and improved fuel efficiency. Underlining its status as the ultimate luxury #suv, the #rangerover received a comprehensive suite of revisions for 2016. Key updates include an uprated V6 engine on HSE models (up 40-hp to 380-hp); the addition of a new turbo-diesel powertrain which delivers up to 32 percent improvement in fuel efficiency compared to gasoline V6 models; as well as all-new driver assistance features including Automatic Access Height, Hands-Free Gesture Controlled Power Tailgate and a revised infotainment system that includes the addition of Land Rover InControl® Apps. The roomiest and most luxurious vehicle ever produced by Land Rover (especially in long-wheelbase form), the #rangerover still retains the true dual-purpose spirit of the original, combining impeccable British craftsmanship and serene on-road comfort with the brand's renowned all-terrain capability.
"The Most Popular on Edmunds.com Awards are particularly special because they're determined by our large audience of actual car shoppers," said Edmunds.com CEO, Avi Steinlauf. "These awards offer a reliable reflection of which vehicles are being considered in the car shopping process."
This year’s awards from Edmunds.com reinforce the fact that the #rangerover and #ftype were among the two most popular models for #jaguarlandrover in 2015. #jaguarlandrover was the fastest growing manufacturer in the United States in 2015, with sales up more than 26 percent year-over-year.Much of this growth was driven by both the #rangerover – which saw sales increase 39 percent in 2015 – and the #ftype – which saw sales increase by 13 percent.
The 2016 “Most Popular on Edmunds.com” Award winners were derived by finding the new vehicle model in each of 20 different segments that had the highest total “car-shopper consideration” on Edmunds.com in the months of January through November 16, 2015.. "Car-shopper consideration"means, for each vehicle model, the number of unique website visitors during a full or in the case of November 2015 partial calendar month (measured by unique cookies) to the new-vehicle research and inventory pages on Edmunds.com's desktop site for that model.
