Range Rover LRX production model unveiling July 1 in London

By George Skentzos | July 01st, 2010

Range Rover has confirmed that it will officially debut its all-new compact model based on the LRX concept at an event in London hosted in partnership with VOGUE magazine.

The production version of the Range Rover LRX will be unveiled at precisely 8.30pm on July 1 (5.30am AEST 2nd July) where it will also be given a new name.

As earlier spy shots have revealed, it is likely that the production model will be offered as a five-door model along with the three-door version first showcased with the concept.

The production version will also be available in two-wheel-drive – a first for the brand – along with a four-wheel-drive configuration in a bid to further improve its efficiency.

Stay tuned to CarAdvice tomorrow morning where we will bring the full details, specifications and photos of the new production version of the Range Rover LRX concept.

“Range Rover has confirmed” Thats like saying “commodore has confirmed”

I’ll admit this is still a grey area, although now it has essentially become a brand of its own. Land Rover is the off-road division while Range Rover is the luxury division.

This is the context in which the brand refers to itself in its own press release:

“Range Rover will demonstrate its exciting future…”

It’s the Land Rover LRX…not the Range Rover LRX. The Range Rover is a model line of the Land Rover.

Range Rover = model
Land Rover = manufacturer

Simple really.

“This stunning Cross-Coupé will add an exhilarating new dimension to the Range Rover brand as it will be the smallest, lightest and most efficient vehicle we have ever produced.”

That is straight from the source. Sorry guys, it may have been the case in the past but Range Rover has now become the brand, not just the model.

It has also already been confirmed that the LRX would fall under the Range Rover banner – hence “Range Rover LRX”.

I assure you this article is all technically correct.

Well when im shopping for my Range Rover next time ill goto the “Range Rover” dealer and not the Landrover one.

To JC and Roti Telur…

I hate to correct you both but Land Rover Uk are in the process of de badging the Land Rover badge of it’s line of Range Rovers, this is to help separate the brand identification. You will note the 11MY Range Rovers do not have a Land Rover badge on the back and the badge on the front is getting smaller and smaller. They are going to do this progressively, as Brits don’t like fast change. Why not accept the fact that there are people who may know these details and not be smart and say ” well i go into a range rover dealer next time i want to buy one”…
The new vehicle will be a Range Rover and i bet it won’t have Land Rover on it…
Place your bets Aussies…

I refer you melra1 to the photo above to which the bonnet is clearly labelled “LAND ROVER”

Simple? But you are wrong!

Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Vogue are the current models.

This is just as relevant to life as an X6 BMW

Unlike the X6, it will actually be able to go off-road and have low range gearing and all the Range Rover gizmo’s to make it a proper but luxurious off-roader.

One question, why the name change. I think the world has come to know it as the LRX, and sounds like it fits in perfectly with the current nomenclature.

I guess we’ll just wait and see when they release the details
