Jaguar Land Rover is developing a coupe-styled SUV that we have dubbed the Range Rover "Sport Coupe."
While its name is not official, it sounds like the real deal, especially with Range Rover’s naming scheme. We have published several articles with spyshots of this model, which has been seen driving on the German Autobahn, on the Nurburgring, and even in Sindelfingen, a town in Germany that is known for having a Mercedes-Benz factory and R&D, among others.

At that time, we presumed that Jaguar Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz might have struck a deal regarding sharing engines. However, the British corporation has no notable ties with the German conglomerate, and Jaguar is already working on its line of inline-six engines, which will mark a historic return to a configuration that was appreciated with Jaguar models of the day.

The new inline-six units from Jaguar are set to be employed on Land Rover and Range Rover models as well, so sharing the power plant with the all-new Range Rover Sport Coupe will not be a surprise. Even though it has not been confirmed from official sources, it is becoming evident that this model will get an inline-six engine.

The Range Rover Sport Coupe is an SUV that is supposed to be launched in the second part of 2017. Even though “Coupe” is present in its presumed commercial designation, it is evident that the name is not fooling anyone. Regardless of this marketing-influenced choice on behalf of Range Rover, this car seems to be an attractive proposition.

Range Rover’s Sport Coupe is not a development that started from scratch, but it is a heavily modified version of the Jaguar F-Pace. Its codename is L560, and it will be an all-rounder that will have to blend comfort, luxury, dynamic behavior, and off-road abilities in a premium package. Some say it might get the “Velar” name for the production version, but that has not been confirmed.
