Range Rover Rebadging A Jaguar To Make Their Own 'Coupe': Report
Range Rover Rebadging A Jaguar To Make Their Own 'Coupe': Report-October 2024

Jaguar and Land Rover have been one company for years, but the division of design has always been pretty simple: Jaguar does luxury cars, Land Rover does luxury SUVs. The line started to blur with the intro of the , and it looks like that trend is going to continue.

says that Jaguar Land Rover is planning on introducing something they call a “Range Rover Sport Coupe” based on the Jaguar F-Pace called that will allegedly be for sale in 2017 under the name Range Rover Velar.

“The new Land Rover Discovery is next in the queue,” writes Car, referring to the next iteration of the large SUV we currently call the in the U.S., “but this sportier, slinkier SUV is next up with a likely debut in spring 2017.”

They also claim gasoline and diesel variants are in the pipeline. Hell, those crazy Brits are already talking about a high-horsepower SVR version of this Range Rover Coupe. Car and other outlets are largely basing their assumptions on of what does indeed look like a sleek four-door Range Rover. The Velar, if that’s what it really ends up being called, would supposedly slot between the Evoque and Range Rover Sport on the pricing scale.

“Velar” was the name given to , which we never got in the United States but I’ve always fantasized about gutting and turning into a desert racer. If this new Range Rover coupe comes to life, it will be interesting to see how much off-road pretense is retained. So far Land Rover has been big on defending that; even the has been photographed splashing through puddles.

Maybe Chris Harris wasn’t far off when he predicted after all.

The Bushwacker 2015 Ford F-150 Is For Extreme Off-Road Rescues
