Motor Authority has what they claim are a few spyshots of the 2015 D4 (D5). After reading the article and viewing the pictures im inclined to think they're testing a 2014 D4 variant. The only differences I can spot are the side mirrors that are similiar to the Evoque and new RR......

I like the big red self destruct or panic button on the last two pics.

If it is a mule then the major changes at this stage will be underneath the skin ...engine \ suspension etc 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

Right, but they claim the D5 will be using the new aluminum frame / underbody which has obviously different dimensions than the D4's..... 16 D4 Landmark

You could be right about it being 2014MY tbh ...though the big buttons and laptop mount do indicate that something is being tested underneath the skin ...maybe TR2 from the FFRR ? ...time will no doubt tell  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

Could be ...though I'm not aware of any new engine tbh ...there's a commitment to Ford until 2020 at least so the SDV6 should still feature though that doesn't mean there won't be any tweaks to it. The new JLR i54 engine plant is building smaller 4 cylinders which I can't imagine will go in the D4 \ 5 as even if it loses the weight it will still be a big lump. 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

The different wing mirrors raise questions for me!??
It's a good 2-3 years off yet though- haven't even seen a basic concept of the vehicle.. wasnt there also a thing on the forum a few months back of LR wanting D3/4 owners to come down and say what they wanted in the new vehicle. That shows very early signs of development I'd say. Anyway, mine will be coming up to the end of warranty by the time it is allegedly supposed to come out so....  2023 Ineos Grenadier 3.0 Diesel Commercial

Seems a bit odd putting it in cammo, just draws attention to it. After all the cammo is to hide the shape and that shape is approaching a decade old!!

Well this new D5 is where I'll be parting company with the Discovery brand.
"It'll be more sporty and rival the X5 and M Class"
Not for me thank you.
DC100 is the route I'll be going down.
