Undisguised 2013 Range Rover?? Nah… #rangerover

It’s the new Ford Explorer Sport.

A reader sent something in that I had also been noticing over the past few days.  After passing literally three new Explorers in a row, I started to see a real resemblance to those latest spy shots of the 2013 Range Rover (L405).

It’s got the Range Rover classic floating roof (at least A & B pillars), hood contours & those wrap around Evoque headlights – even a three bar grill.  I won’t even bring up Terrain Response this time.

Hmm…

2013 Range Rover, about as undisguised as we’ve seen. #rangerover

I can always count on Ian Parry to send me the scoops!!  I think the antipodeans get the news quicker, haha!!

I’m not going to go crazy analyzing this just yet, as far as I’m concerned, it’s still a test car, still too much disguise.  But I will say, it does look like a Range Rover – that’s a good thing!

Range Rover Next’s Front Profile Revealed? And a visual historical comparison #rangerover

Car Magazine had some new spy shots last week showing the Range Rover L405’s front without as much camouflage as usual.  And I’m sure they’re still hiding a lot of cues.  It’s interesting and a little scary.

L405

Not sure if I’d know it was a Range Rover just from that shot, but I think that’s the point with these test cars. 

For comparison, here’s some other Range Rover “noses” through the years.

Range Rover Next interior shots & Terrain-i? #rangerover

So I saw this article the other day:

http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/new-off-road-tech-for-next-range-rover/260097/

And it discussed the already talked about Land Rover DC100 technology coming to the Range Rover Next, which does make sense, similar to the way Terrain Response, show on the Range Stormer then showed up in the Range Rover Sport & LR3.

I found higher resolution shots of the 2013 Range Rover at MOTORAUTHORITY.COM, and did a little OCD zooming, rotating and cropping.  Along with some crazy overanalyzing.

Here we see what looks like Terrain Response controls.  They appear to have gone back to being a round control but it doesn’t look like a knob and it does have that one button illuminated in the middle – could that be the “Terrain-i” button – hit it and forget it?

The updated and simplified Evoque-inspired steering wheel controls?
