At the Geneva Motor Show, Land Rover brought a new, improved version of the Land Rover LRX Concept. This one is black and is powered by a 2.0 litre turbo diesel which will have an estimated fuel economy of 60 mpg (4.7 litres/100 km), while CO2 emissions would be 120g/km. Also, the concept will feature a new technology concept, Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) which allows the vehicle electric drive alone at lower speeds, plus Terrain Response technology, new Eco mode and Sports mode for sportier feel.

The roof panel and the underbody are now made of lightweight materials, like carbon, which, besides making the car lighter, offer improved safety. With Land Rover presenting this new version of the LRX, we can only assume that they really have some serious plans for this car, which is great news.

Remember the Land Rover Coupe Concept teaser photo we’ve shown you some time ago? Even though we couldn’t see too much in that photo, I loved the idea of a 2 door SUV, especially a Land Rover, which makes some of the most elegant SUVs out there. And today we have a bunch of leaked photos of this upcoming Land Rover LRX. Even though it was scheduled to be officially revealed on the 18th of December, these photos leaked today.

The Land Rover LRX measures 4,35 m in length and 1,55 m in height, so it’s 7 cm shorter and 12 cm lower than the current Freelander. The concept rides on 20 inch wheels and it has just 13 cm of ground clearance. It’s sporty look is completed by the long doors, steeply rising waistline, sloping roof line, plus a glass roof. Inside, we have two-tone leather, polished aluminium, four individual seats and two touch-screens.
