For something based on Fords EUCD platform 1967kg is extraordinary!
JLR products always seem to be 150-200kg heavier than their competitors, a 3.0L V6 diesel Macan is 1880kg.
Maybe so, the VAG platform is quite new. I'm sure that JLR will be competitive when the present model is replaced. Hopefully profits from increased sales from niche models like this will help them bring it to market sooner.

Almost posted a thread last week when I saw one drive into TESCO car park.
It was a really nice sunny evening and the metallic orange sparkled like a 70s dune buggy at Count's Kustoms, it immediately caught my eye and just about everybody else too.
The couple left it with the roof down next to the trolley coral so I gingerly crept by it to have a look inside.
First thought was, I wouldn't leave that there if it was mine, second thought was, especially not with the roof down. Next thought was I couldn't work out whether it was the most hideously pointless niche marketing ever, the world's largest pram or something genuinely different and pretty cool.
The wheels seemed massive, the body squashed flat, the interior looked really appealing, and there was just an amazing sense of newness whilst looking at the visible suspension parts and shiny chunky tyres.
I still couldn't decide when I walked out of TESCO and watched the couple reverse out of their space, checking out the stares, and drive off to the traffic lights and off into the dusk.
The guy next to me watched them too and remarked "what a complete pair of tools, they probably think everybody is jealous, but that car is absolutely awful. He's probably a Land Rover salesman posing with the receptionist."
I made up my mind straight away.
I really like it !
Nice bit of humour.. didn't see it coming. niche marketing equals profit.It was a really nice sunny evening and the metallic orange sparkled like a 70s dune buggy at Count's Kustoms, it immediately caught my eye and just about everybody else too.
