This doesn't bode well.

I sincerly hope that Land Rover does not end up like Rover/MG by facelifting the same 3 models to death for the next decade like with the rover 200, 400 and 75

What are you talking about crazy man? This is a Range Rover we are talking about, you don't bring out a new model every few years a'la Vectra/Insignia do you?

5.9 secs to 60 seems pretty good going for a Tank too!

Not that I'll ever be in the position to have to make this decision but I'd much rather have any of those than a BMW X5/X6.

Stunning pictures...

The single most important reason that I bought my Treg over the RRS was the terrible interior in the Sport. Pleased to say that now looks thoroughly reserved and I might well re-evaluate now.

[Asterix]

The RRSport really did need a considerable improvement of the interior.

I was shocked at how poor the current is - bad design and cheap materials. It's such a contrast to the normal RR which has a stunning interior.

Couldn't agree more. And you can add Merc ML/GL and Audi Q7 to that list...

we're about to change our second RR for a Disco..looks like it might have to wait until sep.

Nice to see right hand drive in the press photos for a change.

You'll be glad you did. I had a 05 plate RR and changed to a 55plate Disco, big improvement on day to day driving, just goes to show what 4 years development can do.
Not so sure if gap is so big on later RR's though.

Interiors are looking very classy! Not too sure about the LED running lights though.

[Trommel]

I hope the chav-effect grilles on the Range Rover are not standard across the line up. Less rapper, more farmer please.

LCD instrument display looks interesting.

[Sivraj]

Why are they testing an off road 4x4 at the 'ring'?
Surely it should be tested across a ploughed field with a horse box attached.

[I WISH]

They look more like 'Project Khan' with every incarnation.

Ok I spose ........ if you really want to be saying ....

"hey get out of the way - here comes a drug dealer"

[angus54]

If these don't sell (which I hope they do) then LR are a dead duck.

With those perfomance figs and styling Overfinch and Khan are most likely redundant...

Also do they actually need an injection of £300m from the European Bank?

Good luck LR!!

[PhantomPH]

Hardly 3 "new" models. More like 3 facelifts.

Still, I am liking them a lot - seems the Disco only exists for those who want 7-seats, now.

Bring on the LRX!!!

[morgrp]

Sorry to piss on the bonfire, but am I the only one who thinks the money would have been better spent on quality improvements rather than styling tweaks on what were already 3 capable and pretty darned good looking cars? seems like money wasted to me...

Article doesn't mention engines in the grown up's Range Rover,are they getting the new small diesel,and 500bhp petrol?

Just as high mileage TDV6 Disco's are getting affordable,LR go and make them look old fashioned-oh well back to saving!

500 bhp petrol and existing 3.6 V8 diesel.

[czzzzpzzzz]

I like the look! Looks like the government spend well

[croyde]

I like the interior of my current, now sold, Disco3. I like the utilitarian, tough and easy too clean dashboard and switch gear. If you want posh, get a Rangy.
