路虎试图模仿宝马的做法，推出新款车顶向后倾斜的SUV，该车称为揽胜Sport轿跑车。路虎已经有了一款极光轿跑车，但最近谍照记者拍到了路虎第二款轿跑车风格SUV照片。这款内部编号为L560的车型的车型看起来甚至比揽胜Sport更适合在普通公路行驶。虽然它的外观与普通的揽胜Sport差别不大，但可以看出它的车顶更低矮，这意味着该车不会像Sport版本那样可提供第三排座椅。该车采用的是捷豹F-Pace的铝制平台，由于该车将填补揽胜极光和揽胜Sport之间巨大的空间，因此更大的车身尺寸是必要的。据谍照记者介绍，该车将宝马X6和奔驰GLE轿跑车锁定为竞争车型。至于动力系统，预计将搭载直列四缸引擎，不过美版车将提供直列六缸引擎。另外该车最终还将提供捷豹为I-Pace开发的电动驱动系统。预计这款车今年就将与大家见面，很可能作为2018款车型上市。

 

2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Coupe spy shots

Land Rover is set to emulate BMW’s niche-oriented lead with the introduction of a new sloped-roof SUV tipped to be called a Range Rover Sport Coupe.

 

Land Rover already has the Range Rover Evoque Coupe in its lineup, but as confirmed by our latest spy shots and the British automaker plans to add a second coupe-like SUV.

 

Code-named L560, the vehicle looks to be even more on-road oriented than the already decidedly urban Range Rover Sport.

 

Although the look is not far off of the more conventional Range Rover Sport, we can see that the roof sits much lower. This would certainly eliminate the chance of third-row seats as is available as an option on the Sport.

 

Underpinning the vehicle is thought to be the aluminum-intensive platform of the Jaguar F-Pace. The larger size is necessary as the vehicle is designed to bridge the wide gap between the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport in Land Rover’s luxury-oriented lineup.

 

According to our photographer, the engineers were benchmarking the vehicle with a BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.

 

In the powertrain department, we could see an inline-4 on offer though a 6-cylinder, possibly a new inline unit, will likely be the standard option here in the United States. There’s also talk of the vehicle eventually offering an electric option using a powertrain Jaguar is developing for the I-Pace.

 

We should know more soon as the so-called Range Rover Sport Coupe is expected to debut this year, which would likely make it a 2018 model.
