2018 Range Rover Sport Coupe spied in Scotland

Sport utility vehicles are the rage. SUVs with coupe styling are pretty popular, too, as
BMW and
Mercedes have demonstrated. Now it’s Land Rover’s turn. Believed to be the upcoming
Range Rover Sport Coupe, this ute was spied this week during top secret testing at a remote location in Scotland.

The vehicle would slot between the Range Rover Sport and Evoque, giving Land Rover an answer to the Mercedes GLE and
BMW X6. These shots show what appears to be a chopped roofline, giving the new model a sportier profile than the traditional upright silhouette of Rovers. We expect it will use a version of the aluminum
Jaguar F-Pace platform and offer V6 and V8 engines. It could also offer a hybrid or full electric version. The new
crossover might also be lower set in a bid to differentiate it from traditional Rovers and give it a performance vibe.

The Range Rover Sport Coupe – or whatever it is ultimately called – would enter a strong segment that’s found favor in the United States. Once derided for potentially offering less function than traditional utes, these lifestyle vehicles have developed a strong following for their style and capability. The
X6 was so successful, BMW added the smaller
X4, and this forced Mercedes to follow suit with the GLE and GLC coupe variants. In this context, it’s about time for Land Rover to join the fray.
