2013/14 Range Rover Interior–FIRST REAL PICTURES!! #rangerover

First real shots of an uncovered 2013/2014 L405 Range Rover, it’s been a long time coming. Funny how it really is just an evolution of the current design. It looks like Terrain Response has gone back to a round dial. I guess they decided having two dials is okay. The previous spy shots did show the Terrain Response knob lowered and more even with the surrounding area, I’m assuming it’s like it was in the original Range Rover Sport. And while seat height is adjustable, that passenger seat does look very low for a Range Rover.

Hardly camouflaged Range Rover Next–L405 #notanexplorer #rangerover

We’re getting closer to actual release and the pictures are starting to show up all over. It’s clearly still a Range Rover even with the finishing details still under cover. The fast-back look with the rear spoiler is something I’m still getting used to – along with that odd boxy-ness at the rear glass. Pictures link to original articles.

2013 Range Rover Sport #rangerover

Some nice tweaks for the Sport in 2013, let’s hope the next 2013MY announcement is a bit more exciting though.

Just a few inconsistencies in the official PR released. The tech documents, although named 2013 are titled 2012 within the document. And the last line of the press release says:

“Gears are selected by the rotary gear shifter and steering wheel paddle shift.”

On the Range Rover Sport with a gasoline engine and the six speed transmission, it’s always been the standard gear selector, the pictures showing the 2013 interior also show the standard gear selector.

Details, details.

Did Businessweek just out the Victoria Beckham Range Rover Evoque Special Edition? #rangerover

Reading through the Land Rover/Range Rover news of the day, I noticed a small blurb from Businessweek describing what debuts we’ll see in Beijing for the Auto China 2012. Searching around a bit, it seemed no one else had published this except for them.

Range Rover Evoque Special Edition four-seat coupe, co-designed by Victoria Beckham, with gloss black forged alloy wheels, rose gold-plated accents, textured aluminium and mohair

For those that don’t know, Land Rover put up this teaser video with a countdown to the official unveiling on Sunday in Beijing.

So we will know soon enough but now with less surprise.
