Land Rover LRX Concept with iPhone

The Land Rover LRX is a concept car from Land Rover which was introduced at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. It is designed to cope up with the demand for a new Land Rover entry into the crossover sector. It is a bit more muscular than the average Freelander. But production version of this concept vehicle will hit showrooms later than 2009.
“The LRX concept also adopts intelligent power management systems and other technologies first shown by Land Rover in the Land_e concept in 2006. Further details of LRX's powertrain and sustainability technologies will be released at the Detroit Show.”

This car is also about the latest technology in the world for making the iPhone an integral part of the LRX's interior design. The iPhone is prominently displayed in the center console, and is used to complement the all the other LCD displays in the car.

The concept is built on an LR2 platform. Although the LRX is some 6 inches shorter and 7.5 inches lower than an LR2, but the wheelbase is about the same. Unlike other land rovers, the LRX is not designed for serious off-road purposes because it has its 20-inch wheels and low profile tires that are capable only for use on a flat dirt road. All best interior design details were combined to maximize both actual space and the feeling of space.

I can say that this is truly a nice car. It has a gorgeous interior. I guess Land Rover should devote more time to make this great piece of engineering realized soon.
