Looks like someone's squashed an RRS! Not a chance of getting anything of decent size in the boot I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Remember that this is just an Autocar journo's visual interpretation of an article full of guesswork ......my guess is that the mk6 will be a million miles away from that.21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Who knows if there will be a D6 after the poor performance of the D5 and success of the Defender?
Hopefully LR will look at the new Land Cruiser and D3/4 for inspiration of what to do. They got it so wrong with the D5.New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

I love the way they've even left a guide down the side so you know where to put the traffic cones when you're stuck at the side of the road I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Maybe not, we have no perspective, maybe it is close to two meters high and measures 7 meters long!!

The issue seems to be that they want every model to be "premium" and "luxury" (and throw in "reductive" design, of course). But that then bookends what you can design. Perhaps they need to drop McGovern and go back to having some "practical" and "real world" designs in the stable.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

a good 9 seater! why not! LR always innovates in that sense! In addition to a carplay, something has to justify the €185,000 starting price for for goodness sake!! 🤪lost in translation!
