A few more interesting shots of the new 2013 Range Rover. 

Something’s to take note of.  The shot from above showing the new full glass room, notice the rear seat of that Range Rover is similar to the Autobiography Ultimate.  They referenced the new two-seat configuration in the PR material, "two place rear seating package".

Also, not sure of the controls that are directly above the door handles.  In the higher res shots, it is a lock icon, but in this shot, it looks like there is more going on.  First there doesn’t seem to be a central locking button on the middle dash.  Second, maybe there isn’t an actually door lock in the normal location at the top back of the door and these control everything, they are on both sides.

We’ll see…

So the time has come, this is now the Range Rover.

So the time has come, this is now the Range Rover.

Similar to what we saw a few weeks back, it’s another new Range Rover with the lighter camo and Trade plates.  The final shape is very clear.

Some highlights:

Smaller details are being confirmed – horizontal metallic trim, fog lights and vents.  In this close up shot, does it look a little bit like a Freelander(LR2)??

And another shot of the mysterious back of the front seat, actually in this shot it does look more like a tray table than I’ve seen before.

More of that glass split roof.

Even some actual Range Rover badging on the wheels!

The real thing will be here soon.

The Explorer now makes me angry, every time I see it, every time…

Front headlights:

Rear lights (now with wings):

And lastly, the rear view with matching spoiler and horizontal chrome trim bar:

It’s not like Ford has ever done something like this before, using design cues from the vehicles it previously owned…

J Mays, Ford designer, told Automobile that he just didn’t see it…

Some may remember this too: “We wish our friends the best of luck with their new vehicle”

And a final additional insult to injury, the Ford Flex(the floating roof is the least of its problems), still don’t see it Mr. Mays?

I realize they had to get some return on their investment, but come on!

This is a few days old but wanted to get permission before I put up all the shots on this site.  Posted over on the rangerovers.net forums on Tuesday by T.8ATH are some spy shots that are slightly different than what we’ve seen so far.

First, the camo is a different design/pattern/layout from previous mules.  We also see the new glass roof opened in two places.  The new item showing up on the back of the front seats gets a new look.  And finally, all other vehicles I’ve seen have had legitimate number plates, all VX12 or VX61, showing they were registered in the past year or so.  This one has Trade Plates. 

This is just a guess, but I really think we’re looking at the final product.

Enjoy.
