Landwind X7 facelift debuts in China with new styling

Jaguar Land Rover’s least favourite thing in the world – the Landwind X7 – was given a facelift a few months ago. Now, official photos of the the Range Rover Evoque doppelganger have been released, so you can have a better look at what’s new.

Most of the changes are focused on the front and rear fascias, with the overall shape of the SUV remaining very similar to the Evoque. At the front, you’ll find new headlights, grille and a revised bumper, the last now with additional chrome accents.

Moving towards the rear, the X7 gets new taillights that have a hint of GLC Coupe about them, along with some chrome trim linking the left and right units. The liftgate and bumper are redesigned as well, the latter accompanied by black tailpipes and lower apron.

Three two-wheel drive variants are offered in China, all powered by a 1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine (160 hp and 250 Nm), mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

      LR did sued Jiangling Motors for committing intellectual property theft. Foreign companies have been reluctant to pursue legal action in China bcos winning against local firms is slim & Chinese buyers might see established brands as bullying small domestic outfits.

    Honestly speaking the exterior looks good. Engine and transmission must be tested to know the quality. Keyboard
    comments should be neutral before the road test.
