Jaguar Land Rover has invested lots of time and resources into developing a new "Brand" for Range Rover that is characterized by refinement and luxury. The Range Rover Evoque and Autobiography Ultimate are fine testaments to their work thus far, but the dated styling of their flagship Range Rover model nearly undermines the efforts put forth on new models.
The current Range Rover is nearly identical to the model the BMW Group developed in 2003 to replace the P38. Almost a decade later and little has changed aesthetically to the Range Rover, leaving it in desperate need of a makeover. A variety of Range Rover spy shots have been distributed through various blogs, showing a purposed makeover that has the Range Rover looking a bit longer and leaner.

Rumor has it that Jaguar Land Rover has developed an entirely new platform for the next generation Range Rover (referred to internally as the L405) named the D4u platform. Developed by Tata, this new platform will allow the new Range Rover to cut weight by about 1,000lbs, making it swifter and more fuel efficient. Engine options should include a new 5.0-liter V8 gasoline, 5.0-liter V8 gasoline supercharger, V6 gasoline and a V8 diesel for European markets.
As far as new styling these vehicle renderings suggest that the new Range Rover does take some design cues from the Evoque. You be the judge!
