There’s no Range Rover news that gets me more excited then new interior shots!!
A modified Evoque style steering wheel, some kind of rotary control in the center and some wood trim appears to be peaking out on the left.

As I’ve complained about many times before, the 12” TFT virtual gauge cluster that appeared with the 2010 Range Rover refresh, had better of been a beta test. I believe it was a test of the technology that provided us a taste of what may come in the future. In reality it provided nothing more then something to impress people with, the first time they see it, they can’t believe it. Then when they hear it actually doesn’t do anything more then that, they all say the same thing – gimmick!
So today I read and watched about the new system Cadillac has coming and it just blew me away.
And here’s my hope, what we are seeing right now in our 2010 – 2012 Range Rovers is just a proof of concept and when generation two appears in the next Range Rover, it had better be a leap beyond what we’re seeing from Cadillac, since they’re just starting with the technology, right?
But don’t worry, I’m not holding my breath.
Recently we heard that some Evoque design cues are coming to the real thing. I don’t have a problem with that as long as they don’t bring over the Sports Command Driving Position. That’s fine for the Evoque but would turn the Range Rover into a Mercedes-Benz GL.
I noticed the more raked windshield in the latest round of spy shots of the L405 Range Rover on the ‘Ring: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/18/2013-land-rover-range-rover-caught-on-a-ring-run/
So I did some very rough Photoshopping and here are the results
The blue overlay being the current L322 Range Rover. I used the driver and front wheel for scale. Again, I realize it’s very rough. Below you can see the two redish lines highlighting the A-pillars from both vehicles with the L322 being on the left and the L405 on the right.
Another item of interest is the how the roof does slope down, like the Sport or Evoque. The L322 has a much more horizontal roof line.
One last shot I thought was interesting:
Looking quickly at that, it almost looks like a Rolls Royce Phantom!?!? They really taped off a lot of the windshield
And finally a couple of profile shots:
Still more of the same camouflage but this time in hot weather testing. It seems some of the blogs can’t decide whether or not this is the next Range Rover or Range Rover Sport. Either way, I’m sure they’ll do a good job. For me, it’s the interior I have to see, and they better be going all out on this one.
