2017 Range Rover Coupe
Jaguar Land Rover has been planning an
extension of its Range Rover range with a new coupe-crossover. In the latest, which will reportedly be named ‘Range Rover Sport
Coupe’, has been spied testing by an Autoplus reader.
The Land Rover brand’s line-up in the
future will consist of Discovery, Defender and Range Rover series models. While
the Defender series is far from hitting production, the Range Rover series’
fourth model is already taking shape in Europe for expected launch next year.
It will sit between the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport.
The Range Rover Sport Coupe will be
based on the same aluminium platform as the Jaguar F-Pace. Previously rumored
to be named ‘Range Rover Evoque XL’, the Range Rover Sport Coupe will go for
the BMW X6 and the Mercedes GLE Coupe, competition wise.
The Range Rover Sport Coupe will be
powered by the familiar six- and eight-cylinder petrol and diesel engines from
the company’s currently sold Range Rover models. Additionally, four-cylinder
engine(s) as well as hybrid and pure electric powertrains could be offered to
appeal to the eco-friendly vehicle buyers. It has been reported that a 4-seat
layout will be standard, while a 5-seat layout will be available optionally.
