    I don't think that I like it. It is no longer the iconic LR Discovery look with the step down bit on the roof That's its trade mark style isn't it?

    That word is way over used

    And there is still a (small) rise in that roof line....

    Iconic is the brand, with its capability... Iconic is the instantly recognisable Defender/Series profile...

    There are a few design issues I don't like:
    1. Wheel size is now 22" or 23" - it might brake and drive like a car, but offroad tyre options will be hopeless for the forseeable future
    2. Spare tyre hangs even lower than outgoing models - rear departure angle will be compromised
    3. Body looks like it is lower to ground


    No thanks Land Rover design team - you can keep it. (I suspect the school-run mums will love it).

    I'm sure it will still have air suspension jonesy, so can be lifted as per the current model. There are other pics with the mule wearing generic rims which at a guess would be 19's or 20's so tyres may not be a problem.

    Who knows? Maybe those pics are of the SVR or SVX model which is why its lower with bigger wheels? Maybe its just being driven round in access mode?

    I reckon it looks a bit disproportionate with the bulbous rear roof. Its kinda halfway between a D4 and a new rangey, and it looks like a bit of a mish mash. Hopefully when we see it without camo it will look better.

    In truth, it doesn't bother me as I cant afford one!

    Cheers

    Wheel size won't be looking at the multitudes of pics any worse than now.

    Spare is higher and more angled - and the rear more tapered in those shots - so departure looks improved over current unit.

    Body in that shot looks to be in road mode... And looking at relationship between hub and body seems about the same as current model.

    I look forward to seeing the new unit unmasked....
