This was giving me a headache, I couldn't believe the proportions of both vehicles at the top were the same. SO I (very roughly!) put the orange body over the silver Vision. It really is just the bigger wheels that make it, isn't it? D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

And wheel offset....looking forward to someone putting 24" wheels on their D5 to see if it matches the DV 16 D4 Landmark

I'm trying to work out what they've done: very large wheels (obviously), matt black edges to the side steps and a colour keyed nappy. Is that about right?
"Urban Automotive" sums up where their new customers will be coming from very nicely.

Re: D5 vs Discovery Vision
Thank you jjvd21 and Phil B for the photos

With Phil's large wheels and the running ride height, I reckon that we are a lot closer to the impression of the Vision.
Some cars look better when they "sink" (think Citroen DS/CX/SM/XM), Land Rovers, it would seem, don't!
Could be the angle but the Vision seems to have rising beltline and less deep glasshouse to the rear (kind of like an Evoque). That dart shape is used to suggest speed and movement, which is bit of a designer's trick.Java TDV6 HSE with Alpaca and a few other fancy bits

The concept has a rising belt line.
wheels are the key, not the best photo but the standard 19" alloy looks lost
