Is the Land Rover LRX (previously seen here) the future of sport-utility vehicles?  If emission restrictions and fuel economy standards continue to grow tougher and tougher; if the societal conscience continues to garner more members of society against the sport-ute; and if – at some point – sales begin to trend more strongly away from SUVs and crossovers, will all former SUV buyers flock to station wagons and small MPVs?
I believe not. Â Sport-utility vehicles are perfect candidates for a weight loss competition. Â There’s no use betting against the use of engine technology in sport-utes. Â So, why can’t the future of SUVs be seen in the same fashion as the future of cars? Â
Smaller. Â Lighter. Â More efficient. Â
Land Rover, an SUV-only brand, builds highly desirable vehicles. Â It appears as though luxury SUV buyers care not one whit about fuel prices or lowering emissions, at least judging by Land Rover’s sales. Nevertheless, forethought never hurts. Â And with forethought, Land Rover came up with the LRX. Â Read about it here. Watch it below.
