Although there are plans to make rugged SVX models, the Disco is not one of them.
Land Rover has decided to restructure its priorities in order to reduce losses and concentrate on the products that will bring in the most money. The Tata Motors-owned marque has revealed that the Discovery SVX will not be entering production just a few weeks after it announced the premature death Range Rover SV Coupe. Originaly unveiled in a Concept
The rugged Disco was confirmed for production at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2017. We are now in mid-February 2019, and the rugged Disco was confirmed to enter production by Land Rover at the end of 2018. JLR’s familiar, 5.0-liter engine with 518 horsepower, 461 pound-feet (625 Newton meters) of torque was used in the concept. The hardcore variant will remain an exclusive model.
A spokesperson for the company told Autocar that plans are still being made for SVX-badged vehicles, but did not go into detail about which vehicles would be receiving the rugged Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations treatment. Although the new Defender would make a good fit, nothing is yet official.
Land Rover has just given the Range Rover Sport a new HST derivative with an electrified straightsix engine. They also revealed the limited-edition Velar SSVAutobiography Dynamic with the supercharged V8. The second-generation Evoque will be the company’s main cash cow when it goes on sale later in the year. We expect to see the updated Defender in production-ready form in 2019.
