Facelifted / sportier Evoque, or disguised new Freelander?
Discussion
Whatever it is, LR are very clever by registering as a Jaguar so it can't be officially identified...
MAKE: Jaguar
MODEL: Not available
COLOUR: White
ENGINE SIZE: 3000cc
BODY: Estate
FUEL: Heavy Oil
REGISTRATION: 04/03/2014
... that is unless it's a test mule that has a new Jag underneath a LR body to throw people off the scent...?!?

Even if it's just that, it could change things. - The Evoque needs a larger diesel to compete with the Germans.va1o said:
Could be testing the 3.0 Diesel engine in the Evoque? Interesting spot anyway!
Why would they camouflage a whole car to test a new engine? Drawing lots of attention to it?scenario8 said:
Genuine question; does it? I ask as larger capacity engine versions sell in tiny numbers these days compared to the smaller capacity engine versions. The Macan is being positioned quite differently to the Evoque (in my view) but how many 3 litre diesel Q3s, X1/X3, Tiguan (and so on) are sold these days? One in ten? One in twenty?
Even less than that, why? Because the Q3 isnt available with a 3litre and neither is the Tiguan. 
I see this as more of a competitor to the X3 and Q5 which both have 3.0 diesels, and the not sold in UK Mercedes GLK. Yhe Tiguan and Q3 are a class below really both being jacked up Golfs essentially
Not quite sure why they'd camouflage just for a new engine though unless it's getting a facelift at the same time, or maybe a new body style

Another registered as a black 2.0 Jaguar... http://www.carscoops.com/2014/03/spied-but-what-is...

Good point but TBH I was thinking more along the lines of the Macan/Q5/X3. - The prices of the Evoque are closer to those than Q3s etc.kmpowell said:
Judging by the box shape of the jag SUV concepts snout, and how these are also boxed off, I reckon it's the new Jag SUV heavily disguised under various LR panels.
Good shout! Would explain it being registered as a Jaguar 3.0-litre diesel.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
