现行版揽胜极光上市已经有近六年了，最近谍照记者首次拍到了正在进行路试的新款极光。虽然该车仍处于早期测试阶段，但已经能看到新一代车型的某些变化。从照片看，新车采用了新的平台，轮距进一步加宽。虽然车辆轴距未变，但更好的内部结构设计可以让车内空间更宽敞，特别是后排部分。这款车内部采用了全新设计的拖曳臂悬挂设置。与德系竞争车型一样，路虎也让排气尾管与后保险杠齐平，而非伸出。车尾的“高电压”标签表明该车或者是一辆混动车，或者采用了48伏电子系统，或者这是一辆纯电动车，而第三种可能性很大。路虎目前还未透露极光的任何信息。但捷豹正在开发E-Pace小型车，因此这两款车很可能共享平台。如果这样，该车很可能搭载捷豹最新的四缸汽油和柴油引擎。

 

2019 Range Rover Evoque spied for the first time

The Range Rover Evoque has been around for almost six years, so it makes perfect sense Land Rover is out and about on public roads testing the next iteration of its luxury crossover. Even though it’s early in the testing phase, already there are some revealing aspects about what’s in tow for the second generation.

 

Our pictures suggest the new Evoque will be built on a new platform with wider tracks. The car's wheelbase is unchanged, but better packaging brought by the new underpinnings might free up more room, especially for those sitting in the back.

 

Peaking under the prototypes skirts, we see that it's using a completely redesigned trailing arm suspension setup. Much like rival German manufacturers, Land Rover is also going to tuck the exhaust underneath the bumper rather than giving it visible tips. The "high voltage" sticker on the back suggests one of three things is happening. Either this prototype is a hybrid, it's got a 48V setup or is a fully electric vehicle, which is much more likely.

 

So far, the Brits haven't said a single thing about the Evoque. However, we know that Jaguar is making the small E-Pace model right now, so the two might share a platform. Likewise, we assume the reboot of the entry-level Range Rover will incorporate JLR’s latest four-cylinder gasoline and diesel Ingenium engines.
