Illustrated: Land Rover LRX five-door

It’s not hard to imagine what a five-door version of Land Rover’s LRX concept would look like, but a couple of illustrations might make your future vehicle buying decision even easier. As reported a few days ago, the LRX 5dr is expected as a 2011 model, slated to arrive about six months after the three-door version.

Part of the allure of the LRX concept was its sleek shape, and Land Rover designers are said to be working hard to make sure the five-door version doesn’t lose anything in translation, according to Autocar.

The three-door version of the LRX is slated to hit the market in 2011, but the five-door version will likely hit the market about six months after the initial launch. A hybrid powertrain is also said to be part of the LRX equation.

Land Rover is targeting 70,000 LRX sales annually, with production coming from the company’s Halewood plant.

It’s a nice looking vehicle, but I don’t care about it, either. That’s probably because I’m a poor @$$ loser and can’t afford it.

Saw the concept in person and I have to say…that crease in the beltline is no good.

Heck, putting door handles on this thing is gonna ruin the sleekness.

It looks sleek but I think that style is burned already, IMO this looks cheap compared to the classic Range Rover.

Can some one on this planet point to me any car from Land Rover that is NOT 5 door? They all are wagons. I think it is way to radical to be Rover. It is missing “proper” form follows function paradigm.
