It began as a concept that was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. And it was a show stopper! The LRX is the most compact Land Rover to date.
In March 2009, the UK Government announced a 27 million grant to be made available to Land Rover for the production of an all-new model. It was confirmed by Land Rover that the new vehicle will be an addition to the Range Rover line-up.
Unlike the rest of the marque's range, the LRX isn't likely to boast unbeatable off-road prowess with fuel-sucking power – quite the contrary, in fact. Whatever Land Rover decides to call it, the baby-ute should be available in both front and all-wheel drive flavors. That's right, 2011 will bring a FWD Land Rover to the scene. If that's not enough to put a twist in the knickers of brand purists everywhere, reports have also suggested that buyers will also be able to opt for a hybrid version.
