2011/12 Link Clearance

Leftovers and never posted items, posted now for my own reference.  I’m sure you’ve seen it all posted somewhere else before.  Which is why I never posted it, how many identical posts do we need saying how many awards the Evoque won, haha.

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?

If Cadillac is doing this, can’t wait to see what Range Rover Next will have!! Yeah right! #rangerover

 

Just more of the same, Land Rover Range Rover likes to tout their 12” LCD instrument panel that is nothing more then a digital version of analog gauges with some very, very, very slight tweaks and really absolutely no advantage.  It will neither show you what’s playing on the audio system nor give you any navigation hints, mostly it’s just two “dials” with a large black void in between.

With the video showing what is possible, they really better impress us with the Range Rover Next’s technology.

And I know this is practically a repeat post, but again still not holding my breath!
