Photos of this car were posted on this site late last year when I was in the process of ordering my new car. I checked with the dealer at the time as I didn't want to order if a new model was due, and he said that this was the SVR, and that the 'facelift' on other models comprised the same changes that we are all aware of (gloss black letters on AB, new infotainment system, etc.). |

I think folks are missing the point of Lyonhead's post - it's able to run a 4cylinder 2.0litre PETROL engine, I would imagine snails will move faster......... or are we to get a 2.0ltr SVR? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

! I certainly was! 2 litre Petrol?? WTF? Shows you what my dealer knows, although I suppose it's possible they bunged that engine in a car that was finished for a different spec. externally. If they really do put the honeycomb grille on all versions I'll be a bit miffed. It would make sense, though, as I keep seeing new Evoques with that design grille, and have to admit they look good. Just heard today my new one is at the dealers already, by the way. |

Folks are also missing the point that the 2.0 is the base engine used in conjunction with a plug-in electric motor. This car is the plug-in petrol/electric hybrid mule. SOLD - MY16 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic - Fire Engine Red, Fixed contrast pan roof, TV, Dual Screen, 5+2, Privacy, Noble paddles. |

Yes, that's why I'm hoping they just used an SVR body so that mine won't look instantly dated! |

I am sure it was not this car. It was just the same front bumper design, but the rest of the Body was untouched. Car sellers around the world never that deep in the design updates than myself... We see here a lot of the new design elements for 2018/19 for the L494 except SVR. The new Version of Honeycomb is arrived at RRE and D5, so loggically it arrives for the Facelift of the L494 also. LR wonīt drive a new enging combination with so many new body parts on the streets, unless the facelift date is getting closer. If this would be a new SVR, the new rear-bumper needed to be a bit wider and lower, also the front bumper isnīt straight/low enough for a new SVR and it misses the lowered SVR shape in the side sills. See the curve underneath from front to rear, it is not like an SVR, it is the regular bodyline of the L494. Please mind the Changes to the latest MY17/17.5 from outside: 1. New Antenna design (like D5) 2. New LED Front Lights 2. New Taillights 3. New Front Bumper and Grille 4. New Rear Bumper and Exhaust deco Frames like the Evoque Dynamic 5. New Tailgate/Roof Spoiler with airstream openings (like D5) 6. New Stereo Cams (like D5) I am sure we will see here the new RRS Dynamic to 95%. I am ready to place my order until my sales guy gives the go for the "big" Facelift. But I think they first release the Velar for bg. 2018 and than they react with the RR and RRS update to follow for late 2018, beginning 2019. |

for me thats not a risk, as the L494 looks very modern at all, it wonīt be that dated after a Facelift as the previous Generations. And I am sure we canīt see a Facelift on the road before early 2019. Two years more to be the latest available, with our design... |
