近日有人拍到了正在冰湖上进行测试的2015款路虎神行者。虽然拍摄者距离车辆有一些距离,但仍能看清新车与老款车有很大不同,它采用的运动外观设计借鉴自极光和揽胜运动版。车头可以看到LED前大灯和倾角更大风挡,与略微后倾的车顶线条紧密衔接。该车还采用上翘的腰线,双排气尾管以及与尾门集成在一起的扰流器。预计该车将与极光共享LR-MS平台,但将进一步延长。目前还不清楚新车三维尺寸,但车辆看起来比前代车型大很多。新车动力系统选择与极光共享,但车厂正在开发新的一系列四缸引擎,其燃油经济性和二氧化碳排放量进一步降低。目前不知道新引擎的开发能否赶得上新一代神行者的研发,不过即便在新车发布时新引擎还没有开发完成,未来也会继续提供给该车。
2015 Land Rover Freelander spied on a frozen lake
The 2015 Land Rover Freelander has been spied undergoing testing on a frozen lake.
While the pictures were taken from a distance, we can see the model will be a radical departure from its predecessor as it adopts a sporty design that borrows cues from the Evoque and Range Rover Sport.
Starting up front, we can see LED-infused headlights and a rakish windscreen which meets a gently sloping roofline. The crossover has also been equipped with an upward sweeping beltline, a dual exhaust system and a tailgate-mounted spoiler.
Nothing is official but the model is expected to ride on an extended version of the LR-MS platform that underpins the Evoque. There's no word on dimensions but the model appears significantly larger than its predecessor.
Engine options could carryover from the Evoque but the company is also developing a new range of four-cylinder units that offer improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions. If remains unclear if the new engines will be ready in time for the Freelander's launch but they could be added later on if they are not.
