Land Rover LRX Concept Black and Silver Version
advertisement
Last month, the Land Rover LRX Concept made its first appearance at the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit but Land Rover is planning to display again the LRX Concept at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show starting on March 4. This time it will be the black and silver version.
The proposed engine for the LRX Concept is a 2.0-liter turbodiesel hybrid capable of running on bio-diesel. The fuel consumption is expected at 60 mpg (4.7 liter/100 km) while the CO2 emissions is at 120 g/km.
The Land Rover LRX Concept is equipped with Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) as this will allow LRX to use electric drive alone at lower speeds while retaining full AWD ability in tough conditions. The ERAD would allow low-speed traffic up to 20 mph (32 km/h) on electric power alone, with the Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG) function re-starting the engine automatically when required.
The electric drive would then continue to assist the mechanical drive until the engine is running in its most efficient range, benefiting both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The ISG would also stop the engine automatically when the vehicle halts in traffic, so the engine does not idle needlessly, and restart it quickly and smoothly as required.
Other highlights of the LRX Concept includes jewel-like, tapering blade indicator clusters front and rear, wide but softly integrated wheelarches housing 20-inch alloy wheels and a combination of soft leathers in rich tan and dark chocolate with polished aluminium details cabin to say the least.
