Smaller Range Rover Model Coming In 2012

admin | Uncategorized | May 18, 2010

Land Rover started the luxury SUV thing with the Range Rover, added the smaller Range Rover Sport a few years ago, and is now preparing an even smaller 3-door version, code-named LRX. Spy shots of the production model are now starting to appear and fortunately they’ve stuck very closely to the initial concept car shown back in 2008, which itself was a very edgy and contemporary design.

The full set of spy shots can be viewed over at Motor Authority. Critics may argue that the LRX only dilutes the Range Rover brand being so small and by offering FWD, but Land Rover is simply responding, complying even, with ever tightening emissions regulations around the world and with increased demand from customers for more fuel efficient models. The model is to be the lightest, most efficient, and most high-tech model from the British maker ever. The show car was shown with a hybrid powertrain that achieved about 60MPG, expect something similar in production. Below is a final production shot of the LRX released by Land Rover some time ago as a preview of things to come.
