Range Rover Sport Coupe spied for the first time
Designed to battle the BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE Coupe.

Spy photographers have snapped the first photos of what is being billed as the Range Rover Sport Coupe.

Caught undergoing testing in Scotland, the highly camouflaged model will reportedly be positioned as a sportier alternative to the Range Rover Sport. The crossover is also slated to battle the BMW X6 and the Mercedes GLE Coupe.

Little is known about the model but the pictures show it has a familiar front fascia, a rakish windscreen, and a relatively low roof. The crossover also has a slender greenhouse and a sporty rear end with a dual exhaust system.

Our spies couldn't get close enough to snap interior photos but the model is expected to have a driver focused cockpit with sporty styling details. We can also expect an assortment of high-tech goodies including a touchscreen infotainment system and an assortment of driver assistance features.

The Range Rover Sport Coupe will reportedly ride on the company's aluminum-intensive platform iQ[AI] platform instead of the older architecture that underpins the Range Rover Sport. This likely means engines will be shared with the Jaguar F-Pace, so expect choices to include a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 that produces 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. There could also be hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants as well as a fully-electric model that borrows its powertrain for the upcoming Jaguar E-Pace.

The Range Rover Sport Coupe is expected to be unveiled late next year as a 2018 model.

Oh dear god, no, not the Range Rover!

Looks more like a proposed Audi Q6 than X6 or GLE Coupe. It's not a "proper" SAC.

I think that LAND ROVER doesn't need that,...
But if the marketing-specialists have decided,...

 

[SCOTT27]

Hmmm. I have always believed that the Range Rover Sport was the sportier variant of the Range Rover.
I wonder where this will fit in?

 

[SKY]

I this is how they have designed the roof to look like... It could very well be the first SAC I like.

 

[fredilon]

Wait and see,...

I agree. The Range Rover Sport with it's massive rear overhang and sloping roof looks sporty enough not to need a slightly sportier derivative. Rather than X6 rival I would prefer to see a off-road capable but muscular 2 door coupe.

That doesn't look very coupeish at all

Not much does these days!
Especially not the current crop of SAC-o-shites.

Haha much agreed! A 3 door evoque is called as a coupe...what's the world coming too

I think this is not a Range Rover. I bet more by one Jaguar bigger than F-Pace... If this is the Sport Coupe, I don't see this style...

Its definitely a Range Rover. You can see the Clamshell bonnet with integrated character line running the length of the car distinctive stalk head and taillights and floating roof and sharp rake of the rear.

So, if it's Range Rover, I'm sure this one isn't Sport Coupé. Maybe, one Evoque LWB or a new model between Evoque and Sport.

LA auto show debut

 

[Fido]

I'm not very convinced with this car. I don't think this will be one Range Rover. I bet more by a Jaguar, bigger than F-Pace.

 

[Centurion]

The latest news is that this is an F-Pace based car and if true, it will be terrible if they will be rivals, because Range Rover Coupe would totally cannibalise the Jag.
