Rendered Speculation: Next Generation Range Rover PDF Print E-mail

Land Rover tends to take its time when it comes to replacing models. This applies especially to the Range Rover lineup. The current car was first introduced in 2002 and since facelifted versions are still being tested. It"s not expected to debut anytime soon.

This rendering represents an idea of what the artist feels could be the next Range Rover. The basis is obviously the LRX Concept car which made its world debut at Geneva a year ago. With current buzzwords like ‘lightweight" and ‘economy" taking the front seat at the expense of words like ‘massive" and ‘power", the rendering focuses on the supposed use of lightweight materials.

Aerodynamism is important so the design is geared towards an SUV that cuts through the air as quickly and efficiently as possible. The use of LED lights will be as widespread as xenon technology within the next 10 years. Designers find it easy to work with LEDs because the diodes are flexible and give them lots of liberties with design. For this piece of art the artist has decided to keep the Range"s classic lines as a way of preserving some of what we know as cars for future generations to marvel at.

Nothing was said of the powertrain but something like a hybrid or a full-on electric drive system would be the one used.

What Have They Done!?! I hope they don"t do the same thing to the Range Rover Sport.

"They" have done nothing. It has nothing to do with Land Rover. Does no one read text on this site?

I can"t imagine Land Rover would style a vehicle getting ever closer to ?100K after the entry level model.

It wont look like this becuase it isnt classy enough to be a top of the range Range Rover

this looks silly, look at those headlights, luckily its not real.

What a coincidence, I also visually rendered my own speculation of the next generation Range Rover. It is just as off-road capable as the current version, but at the touch of a button it can lower 200mm and handles like a normal sedan. To be more fuel economic, it is made entirely of titanium and carbon fiber, but still costs the same as the outgoing model. It will run either on hydrogen fuel cells or a form of liquefied narcissism that Land Rover drivers have in abundance. And it also looks like a Ford Flex.

To me it more looks like FORD FLEX

Did no one read the fact that this is one artist rendering and not from Land Rover? The Land Rover is not going to use the same wheel as the LR2 for their flagship car. Also the hood does not follow the current Range Rover design that has existed since the 1st generation Range Rover from the "70s. Pay attention before commenting.

Ladies Ford sold Land Rover to the Indians so please stop saying it looks like a Ford cause this isnt even drawn up by Range Rover, but the artist made it too round in the front rr have boxy fronts my sport is very boxy well not like my h2 cause its got class n style but its still boxy lookin. Anyway cant wait to see what they do with the big Range when they let out the face lift :).

I like the LRX headlamps more. Those are too big. Anyway this would rather fit as a 5 door Freelander replacement.

sorry to say, but Noone is going to buy Land and Range Rovers, Or jags anymore... think about the target market, they"re people who like England, snobby, i know quite a few myself.. They"re just not going to accept a Tata Rover

by stirlol | February 26, 2009 2:30 AM
lols, premiership footballers wives won"t know that :p

in any case, I quite like the LRX design. Sure it doesn"t look as "rugged" and "i can take on the world" as land rovers of the old but hey, you don"t get todays ferraris and lamborghini"s looking like the daytonas and miuras right?

So apart from the wheelbase being a bit too long (though that could be the artist"s bad photochopping) and the price creeping ever closer to the price of a full blown supercar, I think this whole design just works.
