As said before there were two of them at Gaydon when we went there, not sure if they had the same wheel arches but they certainly had the same lights.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

It's obvioulsy a D4 with a front/rear end treatment but it looks fine to me. My only issue is that if it was coming out within the next two years, surely there would be more spy shots and speculation at this stage?

Don't think it's a D5, more likely to be a 2014MY Discovery 4 which is due to go on sale towards the end of this year.

Interestingly though, the front end treatment is a bigger leap on than it was when we went D3 to D4.

Met with a reliable mate from the factory on Thursday who showed me pics of the D5 on his phone... It is 100% reliable pictures and is a facelifted D4 with a front end that looks more like the outgoing FFRR and rear lights have now been turned from red outers to black with LED reverse/fog lamps...

Is that the D5 to be launched in about 18 months time or the 2014/15 face lift D4 to fill the gap until the D5 comes out as I have been told that it will be in the same frame as the new RR and RRSMY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Russell, i have been told by several insiders there would not be a D5 as the D3 & D4 were not expected to sell after the D2 was hated worldwide and the 7 seat sport will take up the slack...
I guess it will all come out in the wash
The pics i saw were of a vehicle refered to by his as D5... Release date i did not ask... Will ask next week 15.5MY XS in Corris Grey with Black & Almond leather

We were told on both the factory tour and the Gaydon tour that there will be a D5 on a totally new platform to share with the new RR and RRS. I have also been told by another LR person that the new RRS comes out first followed by new FL and then the all new D? 4/5.
As you say all hear say so will have to wait and see. MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Craig we have visited the design centre and although the photo shown is a Photoshop of the new rangerover mixed in with what the French think it will look like .....whatever comes out later this year will be the 2014MY facelift not a D5
You are right though there won't be a D5 ...there will be a Discovery (no model number) 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
