Looks like the Audi Q series. Not to my taste and I probably couldn't afford it anyway.

After all these years I still have no idea what a cross over is; what is it for and who buys them?

As far as I can tell a crossover is an obese hatchback. Sometimes 4wd.
An SUV is a morbidly obese hatchback. Usually but not always 4wd. WARNING.

I am afraid I have run out of buckets.

As fast as I recover from one episode of McGovern induced nausea, along comes another "creation" that sets my stomach off again. Big Cry

Quoting Gerry from the article :

Quote:
Let me just put it this way – if people like Bentley and Rolls-Royce can do an SUV, why can’t Land Rover or Range Rover do a luxury car?”


As far as I'm concerned, they can't and he shouldn't.

Perhaps by 2021 they will have a new owner who will insist on LR sticking to what they used to do best instead of trying to dabble in every market they can think of.

So will this be the ultimate end game? Trash your own heritage? Stop doing what you can do well and move to being just another builder of SUV's? Makes sense now Big Cry 1984 One-Ten CSW

Oh I do wish Auto-Express would do some research before making a statement like the “new Evoque PHEV is the first vehicle of its sort for Land Rover” -there was a Hybrid RRS SDV6 in 2014 and it was quite popular despite its 1 mile purely electric range and there has been a proper PHEV RRS and FFRR since 2017MY............. claimed 31miles purely electric range which turned into a real world 22miles so LR downed their claimed range to 26 miles! Rolling with laughter Auto-Express has road tested both and raved about how the wafty FFRR really suited the PHEV’s silence in electric mode. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Having just checked, it's not April 1st, and the chaps at Autoexpress aren't having a laugh with us.

That looks a lot like a Citreon DS/Picasso/whatever, and is just as appealing.
The good news is it's based on the new MLA platform, same as the New Defender.
