A kind reader sent a picture to Carscoop of the concept car that Land Rover will likely unveil at the Detroit Motor Show in January. There is some doubt whether this sketch is official or not.
Secrecy surrounds the concept car although it is understood that it will be two-door SUV with design similar to BMW X6’s. It will be Land Rover’s first foray into the crossover coupé market. While BMW focused on an exclusive vehicle which derives from the X5, Land Rover plans to go mainstream with the production model of the concept car. It will be positioned below the Freelander and would reinforce the company’s line-up.
Dubbed LXR, the concept car represents Land Rover’s serious attempt to reduce its CO2 emissions along the range while keeping the Range Rover at the top. The LXR concept car would also confirm Land Rover’s will to lead the 4×4 innovation despite its smaller size.
