What if I told you that luxury, refinement, power, performance, and presence could be combined into a  sustainable product? A product that goes “Above and Beyond” and challenges stereotypes. We as humans make choices every single day, 24/7, 365 days of the year, but how many of them are “Sustainable”?

The Bigger Picture

If I told you that I made a conscious effort to promote sustainable lifestyles and this affected the thinking patterns of 1000 people who saved 1 liter of water a day? This leads to a saving of 365,000 liters of water a year. Imagine, a million people doing this. I will allow you to do the math. This is the bigger picture I am trying to create awareness around and focus people’s attention on.

The Choice Is Yours

This article focuses on one of the occasional, but key decisions we make which can get us one step closer to saving the world from air pollution and depleting reserves of Oil through sustainable lifestyle choices. If my hints about this automaker were successful, you would have correctly guessed the legendary British automaker that's making great strides in the path of sustainability.

Challenging Stereotypes

Land Rover is redefining the SUV market by introducing high-performance automobiles which will have the smallest footprint on planet earth. Stemming from the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) vision of shifting to an “All-Electric” line up of automobiles, this initiative is already taking shape and comes in several legendary silhouettes close to our hearts.

However, this article will focus on these hybrid high-performance SUVs and what kind of benefits they bring to the table. I got in touch with JRL Sri Lanka to obtain some first-hand insights into the model variants, to give you the most updated and relevant details that may interest you!

Powerful, Efficient & Cost-Effective

The new Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid)  and Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e PHEV  are high-performance luxury SUVs which pack power and efficiency in a package that is not only good for the environment but also your wallet!

Due to the fact that both these SUVs now come with a 1.5-litre engine, the taxes applicable are lesser than its more powerful engine variants found in the non-PHEV variants. Not only does this make the SUVs more affordable, but it also paves the way for more sustainable lifestyle choices.

Electrified & Practical

The very low carbon emissions of the Evoque PHEV and Discovery Sport PHEV mean that your carbon footprint is much lower and the 66km electric range allows you to get your daily chores done without having to worry about spending on fuel!

A looming energy crisis or one step closer to sustainability?

By
The impact would be devastating if we don’t prepare for what I am going to tell you about. This is just a thought that came to my mind while I was peering out of my window one hot sunny morning during lockdown (29 th of April 2020 to be precise). I was procrastinating every time my mind told me that I should put my phone and laptop to charge and it so happened that we lost the electricity supply for a short time. My mind was full of regrets now. Thankfully though, the electricity came back within minutes. Putting this into perspective The household energy and water consumption levels are probably at extremely high levels with all family members forced to stay home due to Covid-19. You cannot deny the fact that the majority of us rely on our electronic devices such as our “can’t do without mobile phones”, laptops, TVs, fans, air conditioning (If we are lucky), Wi-Fi routers, etc. etc. I am not going to ask you whether you can afford to do without any one of the...

Her Kindness Towards Animals Truly Inspires Me

By
Sahana Ravishankar is an Attorney-at-Law by profession who has an undying passion for helping all kinds of animals. Especially cats and dogs. I first connected with her on Facebook about a year or so back after seeing a post about two pups who were rescued and needed "furrever homes" as she affectionately refers to it. Feeding the hungry Most of her good deeds revolve around feeding street dogs and cats who would otherwise more or less suffer of starvation and die. Her feeding rounds are regular and require so much effort to carry out. My mom and I once gave a small treat to five street doggies a few months back and that required quite a bit of effort. Buying the food, transporting it, finding the dogs, giving them the food without inconveniencing the public, and ensuring you leave no waste behind. It's a process! Adoption and Re-homing Not only feeding, she adopts helpless cats and dogs too. Caring for them until she finds people she can trust to take care of ...

By
  Buying a used car is not as easy as you think unless you have done your homework! Searching for used cars has become a walk in the park with the growth in social media and the internet in general. However, there's a downside to this ease of finding the exact car you want to fit your budget. Do you know what that is? Let's find out! 💪 1) All that glitters is not gold 🏆 When you search for a vehicle online, you are able to define exactly what you want in terms of; make, model, YOM (Year Of Manufacture), price range, colour etc. Our friend the internet then gives us an array of options and to your surprise, you might find exactly what you are looking for!
