Still not 100% sure on it at the moment, the rear most side windows just look wrong to me
Feel they need to be a bit lower inline with the door windows, looks a bit like they are an afterthought.
Other than that it is not as bad as I expected, still looks a bit as though its the Discovery Sport that has been attached in to an air compressor.

Agree with you DG. Avavarii is a renowned automotive artist and his renderings can be found all over the net and always on and in the likes of Auto Express and Auto Bild.
That being said, it could be the best yet!

IMHO in the second image the rear window looks similar to the early Freelanders, and possibly some of the Merc 4x4s (ML?)

Think that around 2018 I will be looking for a good late registered approved used D4 - that really is not a Discovery in my eyes, it is a Freelander 3 (sorry Discovery Sport) that has been fed on a diet of cakes, sweets, crisps and fast food!

Nope! Don't like it. It's too much like a Freelander and all the other 'same as' SUV's from Germany, Japan, America, (India!!!), etc. The D3's and D4's are, in my view, a unique and pleasing design.
But that's just me I suppose. 2007 Disco3 2.7 tdv6 SE

That is a very poor photoshop - look at the top of the rear door, roof line, window and top three quarters of the rear windows - a piece of D3/D4 has just been plonked on there - talk about having the wool pulled over your eyes guys, you look at this profile every day

I'm looking forward to reading the press release when they explain that the Discovery heritage is incorporated into the D5 design - when in reality it will basically be a tougher looking RRS. I think the photoshops are a great effort.16 D4 Landmark
