While Coupe-like SUVs have been around for a long
time, if this Range Rover SD1 Concept was real, it could raise the bar for
these type of cars. Designed by Pablo Pereyra, the SD1 SUV Concept looks like a
fastback, as the roof slopes downwards all the way to the rear of the car, just
like on a classic Mustang Fastback or a Chrysler Crossfire.
While perhaps futuristic, the front end design is
still somewhat Range Rover-like, so imagining this thing as a real life concept
wouldn't be so hard, until you get to the rear that is.
The styling of the hatch is unlike anything we've
seen on Range Rover-badged products, and not only because of the downwards
sloping roof line. The taillights are integrated into the roof pillar as well
as the fender, a design that may remind you of something like a Citroen C4
Coupe, only those taillights were positioned vertically, whereas these are more
horizontal.
Overall, it's an interesting proposal, one that's
perhaps not as elegant as you'd expect from a Range Rover. Yet, it definitely
looks sporty, which some, if not most, should appreciate.
