The LRX concept is important to Land Rover for two reasons: It shows a new design direction for a very traditionally styled lineup, and it features a diesel hybrid power plant. Since the LRX is just a concept, we're not sure if either feature will make it to production, but a diesel hybrid has yet to hit the streets and an offroad-capable SUV might just be the place for one.
The LRX is nearly 6 inches shorter than the current LR2, which already isn't the largest of SUVs out there. That means this little SUV might compete with a future Mini Cooper SUV — and yes, one is in the works, folks.
Technology is also a big part of the LRX, with lots of features for Apple fans. There are docks just for your iPhone and iPod, plus a cooler we've already seen in production Land Rovers. |
