If you can remember all the way back to may, we had a blog post about the new Range_E Concept as it debuted in Geneva. Well it appears that our favorite British automaker wasted no time in the subsequent development of a production model because it was announced shortly after Geneva that the company would be creating a diesel Hybrid vehicle that would be available exclusively to European markets. While we were excited to hear that the brand was working towards greener and more eco-friendly models, we were disappointed to learn that we would not be able to sell them. That is until a few weeks ago when it was announced by Land Rover that they are now planning on expanding the release of the new Land Rover to the United States.
Perhaps it was the statistics that show the sales of diesel cars and SUVs growing by 24 percent since 2010 that made them change their minds. More and more Americans are seeing the value of owning a car with a diesel engine as many more brands are beginning to add these powertrains to their product lines.
This new diesel hybrid setup will be available as an option in the new Range Rover Sport. We will get our first glimpse of this green machine at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Until then, you can be sure to get all of the latest updates on this ongoing project by following our blog.
