Land Rover Working On Three Pronged Attack With Discovery SVX Halo SUV

The next-generation Land Rover Discovery is likely to be given extreme off-road capabilities by JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations arm next year, in order for it to act as a halo product for the all-terrain capability of the company’s product range.

The all-new Discovery 5 is expected to be revealed later this year, with SVO’s so-called Land Rover Discovery SVX version going on sale 12-18 months later.

SVO has a three-pronged brief to deliver cars that showcase the best of Jaguar Land Rover’s capabilities in the ‘luxury’, ‘performance’ and ‘capability’ markets.

Seems too pretty to take off road. Build it. They will buy it.

Too bad Marchionne didn't pour money into Jeep and let stupid Alfa twist in the wind.

Exactly. The current LR's are a bit too "pretty" to do the "rugged" look.

Only the Defender had that kind of machismo. Keep the Defender, offer it in the US in 2- & 4-door versions.
