nice profile

was told its 150mm longer than current cars - but these photo's seem even longer?

Looks incredibly low for a Range Rover

Is that a problem?

I think those photos are a bit squashed vertically, but from the rest of the camouflaged cars it has certainly lost its unique profile.

Profile or 'Styling Clues'?

Profile, it still has vestigial castellated bonnet corners and a "floating" roof (hopefully the fake vent ripples in the door are just that) but clinging to the past isn't the point.

For a Range Rover it looks too long for its height, glasshouse is too shallow and tapered/roof is too low, D-pillar is not upright enough and rear spoiler is inappropriate, front profile is too reclined and anonymous, sides are heavy and bulbous, wraparound lights are tacky, front bumper detailing is fussy etc.

It looks like a Mitsubishi Outlander crossed with a Q7, or an inflated L322 attacked with a sander. Lost its dignity.

Saw one in Solihull the other day and it was immediately recognisable as a Range Rover, maybe not as angular on profile but even in camo colours was obvious it was a Range Rover straight away. As said not as flat as in pictures still has an upright stance and big presence.
