为了抗衡特斯拉Model X,路虎正在开发揽胜纯电动版。特斯拉Model X纯电动SUV将于明年秋季上市,而路虎也准备推出纯电动版揽胜。据报道,该车的车顶高度进一步降低,外观造型更顺滑。虽然该车主要适用于普通道路,但由于配备高度可调悬挂,因此也具备越野行驶能力。预计该车的配置水平将超过Model X,但售价至少9万英镑(约合人民币88.32万元),预计最快也要等到2017年才能推出。
All-electric Range Rover considered to rival Tesla Model X
A new report indicates Land Rover is working on a pure electric Range Rover model to compete with the forthcoming Tesla Model X.
Although the Model X isn't yet commercially available, it seems automakers are already working on models to directly compete with Tesla's all-electric SUV which will be out next fall. Land Rover will probably be one of the first to introduce a pure electric high-riding vehicle which is believed to be more than just an electric version of the regular Range Rover.
The model in question will reportedly have a lower roofline and will be more of a crossover to provide a sleeker design, characteristics already hinted by the company's design chief Gerry McGovern who said they are considering a Range Rover expansion with "incredibly luxurious, low-slung" models. The pure electric Range Rover will be primarily designed for on-road use but it will still be able to go off-road thanks to its height-adjustable air suspension.
Autocar is estimating the starting price will be of at least £90,000 and the electric Range Rover will have more standard equipment compared to the Model X. There's no word about a launch date but chances are it won't come out sooner than 2017.
