Next Generation F/F Range Rover Due Date?
Discussion
I'll be needing a new full fat Range Rover soon, as we're looking for a second home in Scotland. I'm reluctant to buy the current model as I'm guessing the next generation can't be that far away?
Has anyone heard rumours as to what year the next generation (not just facelift but brand new version) can be expected?
Many thanks
Allister

Thanks Baker Street & Phil - Further research suggests your comments are accurate. Thank you for the info.
Looks like it's going to have to be a 2018 model. At least it won't be out of date soon after purchase, should get 4-5 years good use before next generation comes in

Thank you Cold - I wouldn't dismiss that...... A good low milage, well cared for example would probably do just fine.
Last year I bought a brand new 2016 Bentley Mulsanne Speed, I've lost count how many times it's been back to the main dealer for minor issues. Hand built cars are apparently even worse for teething problems following production. I suppose as a result of human error, or rather, less precision than robots / computers.
Good point though, will explore this option also.

The OP has asked for advice on buying a Range Rover, to make sure that it remains fashionable for as long as possible, because the Bentley in some way falls short of travelling to and from Scotland, where visits will now be made to the second home that has now been denied to a local family.
Please tell me that this is a wind up?!

You registered with PH to post this as your first post. Why? Please tell me that this is a wind up?!
I don't believe that I have to justify my post but, seeing as you've asked, I've visited here, on and off, for quite a few years.
I originally thought "oh good, I know the answer to this question" but, the more I read, the more it sounded like a wind up; the person buying the second house in the country (a damn nuisance here in Cornwall and many other rural areas too), assuming that only a Range Rover could get you there (there are roads in Scotland!), the need to ensure that it remains fashionable and that there's a Bentley at home.
Maybe I'm just used to forums with a robust sense of humour (Landyzone, for one!) but, apparently it's not a wind up, so I'd rather just move on...

I needed a ffrr recently and went through a decision current model v new model to be released soon ish.
from the research i did, i concluded that a late model 2016 l405 was the best developed car for me particularly before the potentially problematic 10" new infotainment screen in the model year 2017 cars. I bought a 16.5 MY vogue se recently.
I firmly concluded that i would not be going anywhere near a new FFRR in the first few years of its production - LR seem to test their cars live on customers as guinea pigs - and the cars undergo a constant state of development in successive model years, even though these are not formal refreshes. I beleive theres a sweet spot with these cars and its definitely late in their production cycle of a model when they've tested the cars live on customers and sorted out a lot of the issues.
All imo.

I know a little off topic, but do people in for example Cornwall and Scotland only wish for visitors and tourism on their own terms. You can come and spend your money here to help sustain the economy and you can rent a house, caravan or tent but not buy a house. There are doubtless many others in these regions that have benefited from house price growth due to second homes and have then spent the money in the local areas.
Sorry, but if people have the money to buy things such as holiday homes then the market dictates the outcome.
On another topic, the Mulsanne, I've been looking at the price of 3 to 4 year old examples and they seem to be brilliant value. One I shall watch !
