Alternately referred to as the Range Rover Evoque XL, various reports have indicated Land Rover’s intentions to develop a vehicle that would bridge the model gap that currently exists between the Range Rover Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. Early chatter suggested that the Grand Evoque would resemble a “stretched-out” version of the existing XL, providing added space and legroom. Such a model would likely require Land Rover to develop a new chassis for the vehicle, but by using the C-X16 the company can side step that issue while increasing their economies of scale.
The Grand Evoque project has been code named L560 and sources suggest that a production version of the vehicle could be ready to hit markets as soon as 2016.
