A few months ago, we got news that a Range Rover coupe<\/a> is on its way to duke it out with the X6. While we are not entirely sure why Land Rover has to create a whole new model when they have the Evoque already in its lineup, this model is set to launch in 2017 as a 2018 model.<\/p>\n

With a launch date set for next year, it gives rivals an advantage regarding sales, but Land Rover may have the upper hand on launch. With an all-aluminium\u00a0platform, the British company\u00a0are aiming for a luxurious\u00a0style more than a practical one, as, from the front, hints of Evoque and SUV models are instantly recognisable.<\/p>\n

As soon as the roof meets the A-pillar, it already starts slanting towards the tailgate and is notably shorter at the rear than SUV models.<\/p>\n

It’s not just the BMW X6<\/a> that this model will take away customers from, Mercedes GLE<\/a> coupes\u00a0are prime targets too. No price is known as of now, however, seeing as both it rivals have a small premium over their SUV counterparts, Range Rover could do the same.<\/p>\n

Expect similar features to Range Rover SUV models both inside and out. Cooled front seats, rear entertainment package, 360-degree camera, fridge and so on.<\/p>\n

Powering the coupe is said to be a choice between a four or six-cylinder petrol and diesel engine, with the highest output being around 300 hp. Potentially a V8 and plug-in hybrid are both plausible, and it’s too early to cancel out an SVR model.<\/p>\n
