Range Rover coupe-SUV takes shape
The new coupe-SUV will be Land Rover’s first road-biased model; will rival the likes of the BMW X6.
Range Rover’s next all-new model is expected to break the brand into the Coupe-SUV segment with a sportier road-biased luxury crossover set to take on the likes of the BMW X6. The new model, codenamed L560, could be named Range Rover Sport Coupé.
