Is the next Range Rover getting the Evoque’s glass roof? #rangerover
From the same article showing the exposed front and rear lighting, we get a glimpse of the roof. Not the clearest shots but there’s definitely something new going on there.

In these latest shots from Car Magazine, the camouflage has been removed from the front and rear lights. We’re actually getting to see the Evoque effect.
I’m good with the front lights, the rears look a little chunky, almost reminds me of the tall rear light assembly on the LR4(Discovery 4).
Also, is it just me or does that rear light remind you of Flash’s mask or the Harry Potter Snitch?

UPDATE: The article that this post links to has been pulled from MotorAuthority, so I am updating the link to the image.
Less camo, but still not clear on what they’re doing with those doors. Also from this angle and in one solid color, the side looks very tall. I wonder what the actual ratio of vertical glass to door is compared with the L322. And there’s another one peeking through in the back right.

Another shot from the Autoweek.nl photos:
So here we see the engine without a logo cover on it. The things that caught my eye are the vents running along the edge of the body and the possible mates in the hood. Could these be functional hood air vents, following the design of the Evoque or the Jaguar R vehicles?

From Car Magazine, these latest images, I think even more so, show how the Evoque is completely dictating all design decisions, with that fast back look still very alive and well. It really does look like a big Evoque. I wonder if we’re going to see the Sport released with the real Range Rover, as a major line refresh, like back in 2010. I’m trying to figure out how much greenhouse they’ve given up. It just seems like there’s a lot less glass and a lot more door than in the current Range Rover Sport.
Also notice the camouflage covering items over the front doors. In the next actual Range Rover (L405), we’ve seen a hint of vents in the front doors. I’m still not sure if they’ll really be as big as the “renderings” show. I’m hoping for more of an Aston Martin type of look that does intrude into the door but doesn’t add too much of a mess. And from what they’re covering here on the Sport, I have hope.
