However, the manufacturer chose to refuse to issue prepaid many customers is not cheap (at £240 000) of the model, and about 10% of the issue was to be delivered to Russia.

However, the British media and in particular the famous Top Gear magazine brought the news that the release of the SV Coupe is collapsed before it began. The reason for this was not the most rosy financial situation of the manufacturer – the company Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). So, January 10 were announced the development strategy of the JLR, according to which in the next year and a half the firm has managed to cut costs by £2.5 billion and to lay off about 4,500 of its employees and this despite the fact that in 2018 the company has been reduced 1,500 employees.

Interestingly, the three-door Range Rover SV Coupe was a not a shortened version of piatigorski, as you would think, and Vice versa – long 13 mm model. Accordingly, SV Coupe differed by almost all original exterior body panels, and the long side doors were made frameless (and this is for only odnochasno circulation – an incredible waste!).

Both rows of seats are made in various black-and-white color scheme

Inside were individual seats for both series, separated by a large Central consoles.

The rear seat in SV Coupe split of such a powerful console that the interior was an extraordinary quadruple, and therefore the title of "coupé" he is on the right

   Under the hood of the SV Coupe was supposed to be only the most powerful 5.0-litre petrol V8 with a power of 565 HP with 8-speed "automatic". Brand air suspension has different settings, which should make the handling of the three-door Coupe SV driverskit the most among all the models of the brand.

PS Problems JLR are quite understood, if "to believe algebra harmony", i.e. to look at the statistics of sales in 2018, Jaguar Land Rover, even according to its own data sold worldwide 4.6% of the cars are smaller (up to 592 708 units), and minus corporate data has driven that brand of Land Rover (down 6.9% to 411 875 units), but cars Jaguar showed a small, but still up 1.2% (833 180 units). Accordingly, the greatest loss suffered JLR in China (-21,6%) and in Europe (-7,8%), which was not able to compensate for the North American market (+7.2 per cent). While in Russia, the sales of JLR has been relatively good, so Land Rover has implemented 9840 units (+11%) and Jaguar – 2 537 units (+17%).
