I'll stick to the true breed cos imho its not really a Land Rover as its built abroad and not spawned out of Solihull.

If you have 25K to throw away, best put it through a suitable shredder, but using it to buy a box as ugly as this might serve just as an effective way of wasting your money, being a LR, it will be expensive to run, to service and loose value like falling maisonary, and it will be unreliable, but you go ahead and buy one if it makes you feel good, me I rather walk.

From what I've been reading this will have the new three cylinder 48V hybrid engine in it to enable JLR to get from their current fleet emissions of 155g/Km down to 131g/Km otherwise it will cost them dearly in fines.
This engine is going into the Evoque too.
