Range Rover [Official] Range Rover Face Lift (L405)

[tristatez28lt1]

I'd rather you didn't use quotation marks if you're going to purposely incorrectly paraphrase something I've said.

As for your point, I wasn't suggesting that Range Rover have no heritage in their established design... more that in trying to modernise the details that sit in between those lines, it's just gotten worse. Having said that, though the rest of the proportions have stayed fairly true to the classic Range Rover, moving to a sloping nose from a flat nose is one of my biggest gripes with the current one.

It used to be a car for the aspiring agricultural aristocracy... it's now a statement for well off city dwellers.

Head of Rolls Royce design had to say this:
If anybody says to me: “are you going to beat Range Rover?” Well the Range Rover was developed as a farmers tool. And we have never developed anything on the premise that it would be used as an agricultural tool. Since the beginning our cars have had elegance, effortlessness, and pure luxury at heart.

Ouch

Nice bit of dancing around the question, it’s not as if he could come out and say no we can’t!

New ‘19 SVDynamic. BRG over London Tan

Awesome spec. It's a shame 80% of all full fat Range Rovers are black. The rest are 10% grey and 10% white.

I have never seen this SVO design pack with different bumper and side gill designs.

The presence of this car is immense and undisputed by its peers. It is the S-Class of SUVs.

I thought of getting our Range with that SVO body kit, but decided it wasn't worth the extra $25k or so. It does seperate the descerning customer from the rest of the RR crowd.

It's a very expensive option and is £10,000 in the UK. However is much less than what people are spending on Kahn and Overfinch body kits I periodically see. Rarely do I like aftermarket kits but in person the overfinch kits add prestige and visual exclusivity.

This may be the S Class of SUVs but it ain’t the Rolls Royce if SUVs... <\mikedrop>.... I had to; I really had to!!

On a different note; I saw one in Mumbai late last year. It was dual tone. A light silver shade on the top and emerald green?? On the bottom. What a fantastic looking thing!

I had an opportunity driving the pre-LCI and comparing it with the Range Rover Sport LCI. The most noticeable thing is the infotainment system, the old system is laggy and looks old and messy, even the driver screen is laggy and speed meter is slow. The new infotainment system is a much better improvement.

Still laggy. I can’t understand how JLR can’t get a supplier to make them a good infotainment system. How do they plan to stay relevant 2019 onwards?

I do like the Rovers and Jags but can’t pull a trigger on either due to their disasterous reliability and garbage infotainment systems

 

[tristatez28lt1]

As far as I understand is they build them themselves as they want to be the owners of the data. Therefore, they aren't working with leaders in the infotainment segment hence making their infotainments some of the worst I have used.

Not only are JLRs infotainment system laggy but unintuitive too. I much prefer the Range Rovers and Jaguar with physical HVAC controls.

I still have a very strong Range bug for some reason even with the new G out. Dare i say the design is timeless

 

[Merc1]

I'd agree, the design is like the 911 or the G. It just can't change dramatically, it has to be soothed and smoothed and finessed into the next generation.

I agree. If it ain't broken don't fix it.

You are not alone.

I’d love for the next version to have a more upright grill like the 405. This is my only complaint.

How will they up this one this time around with the new crew on the block?

 

[Centurion]

Looks like a boss in murdered out spec.
