We at Land Rover Birmingham care very much about your education on cars. Today we are here to inform you on how to determine how good your car is through the use of the term Horsepower.

Horsepower is defined as the amount of work an engine could produce in one minute. If your engine can produce one horsepower, it means it can produce 33,000 lbs of work in one minute. If your car weighs 3,300 lbs and has 1 horsepower, it can move 10 feet in one minute or 0.113636364 miles an hour.

There are five fluids all vehicle owners should have checked at our automotive service center here at Land Rover Birmingham.

The engine oil should generally be checked monthly, although this depends on numerous factors. 

Land Rover has worked closely with world-renowned brands throughout the years, and one of them is the Magnum Photos agency and acclaimed photographer Michael Christopher Brown. Together they captured some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Pacific Northwest region of the country using unique vantage points and the Range Rover. The photos reveal the diversity of backdrops in Portland and Seattle, from beautiful mountains to countless inlets and islands along the coast.

Land Rover debuted the new Range Rover Velar to its U.S. fans with a little help from pop superstar, Ellie Goulding, who was the first person to drive the new Velar and to sing for a global audience online.

The arrival of the first Velar was announced by a live performance from the British entertainer. Besides Goulding’s New York show, there was also a charity auction of the new mid-size SUV at the East Side House Settlement Annual Gala later this week.

As we mentioned in an earlier blog post, Land Rover planned on revealing its latest Range Rover model at the Geneva Motor Show, known as the Range Rover Velar. With its design focus on a luxurious and extra-spacious cabin that provides a minimal, technology-enabled interior, trading in buttons and switches for the all-new Land Rover InControl® infotainment system - complete with two high-definition 10-inch touchscreens for a completely different method of taking advantage of the tried-and-true Range Rover functionality.

When you purchase a Land Rover, you may dream of outrageous off-roading adventures, but the reality is that we spend most of our time driving on pavement. Not only that but driving on challenging terrain can be dangerous and requires proper training. If you're ready to explore your Land Rover's capabilities, consider a Land Rover Experience Drive.

There's a lot to choose from in the Land Rover Range Rover lineup, but Land Rover has found space for one more! The Range Rover Velar will be the newest addition to the Land Rover family, and will fill the "gap" in the Range Rover line-up that falls between the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport, thereby offering Range Rover devotees even more options. 

With the first month of 2017 already behind us, our team at Land Rover Birmingham are excited to see how the successes of last year translate to this newest one. Based on the latest sales report from Land Rover, things seem to be off to a fruitful start so far. After a year that saw Land Rover and Jaguar combine for a record 102,191 vehicles sold in the United States, the brand is proud to announce its 9 percent increase in Land Rover sales and a strong 30 percent increase between the two premium brands combined.
