Came across these this morning. Lots of journo types off on a jolly around the cotswolds and off to Eastnor for some fun, then back to Cheltenham for some hospitality....

This one is the V6 S/C - not for UK market..




New and current - an impression of size comparison...


Autobiography on the right..






Growing on me, definitely in the darker colours. Dynamic and AB look 'meaner'  Stu

I love the looks of the new one, definitely makes the old one look really old fashioned and I bet the drive will be 100% better too. 2014 Nara Bronze SDV6

What is the point of showing off the V6 S/C in Cheltenham England when it won't be available in UK

It would be nice if LR introduced some of the new colours at these events, Red, Black and Corris Grey have become boring

PS. Please let me see one finished in Scotia Grey soon

Good point , although JLR are apparently flying in journalists from around the globe and I was told by the delightful lady at the hotel who works for Land Rover this one is for china and the US market. Guess some journos are over from there too...

Out of all the colours I've seen so far the black one looks bet IMO, I know it's boring, but....  Stu

I have to say, in your pictures, the black looks far better than in the configurator. I have a black X5 now and wanted a change of colour, but I think black always looks good...

I have gone for Black again this time (after taking a break from washing with a few greys) and have to say when it's clean it does look best - especially with privacy  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Hmm, starting to grow on me also! When I first saw this design I thought no looks like an overweight Evoke, however, when you see the new model next to outgoing, especially in a dark colour it starts to look more desirable.

Too pricy for me at present and I’ll be interested to see how they are in terms of reliability over a year or so.

That said if anyone from LR has a spare new model & they need the space in the car park, I’ll be happy to look after it for a few years! --------------------------------------------------------

Agreed on all counts BigCat

Wait til next year, all problems ironed out , hopefully then get the SDV8, assuming your 6 numbers come up on the lottery
I reckon that will be £80k by the time you add the bits and pieces  Stu

Have to agree that the black looks the best so far but its such a pain to clean. It might look even better without the faux plastic under tray thing, I am not sure what its trying to be?

SDV6RRS, don't say X5 on here, you will get flamed as MSE hates all BMWs and one Australian poster (BKHK I think) got banned for life upsetting people defending his X5

Ha - thanks for the tip - Maybe StuRRS should redact his signature

Been there, done that - got a "proper" 4wd now. (puts on tin hat and waits for the flak!) Stu

Saw two blacks today one with a silver roof

Next to the actual current model and an evoque for real it does look like an evoque xl... But it will make the current model look older for sure Mike
