L663 Mid Life Update
Hi all

Does anyone know when the current model L663 is due a facelift/update?

We must be coming up to 5 years since its launch?

Can’t see it having much of a facelift, LR have continually altered the spec since launch. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

By my calculations, base on the first model's lifecycle, mid-life would be what... 2060!?

I can’t see any major facelift until it’s forced to go lecky. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Isn’t there supposed to be a facelift coming that will permit fully electric models - I think I read 2026 /2027MY because they need the underpinnings of the current Range Rover/Range Rover Sport to fit the HV Battery underneath. There wont be any need for big front radiator grille or exhaust pipes in the EV version so the design of the front and rear will change Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

I have left my dealers with instruction to get me on the waiting list for the BEV RR, he said the underpinnings won't be the same as the current L460 but the body will be almost identical to look at. It would be logical they design a strong BEV compatible underpinning that the the Defender, Range Rover and Discovery design can be grafted too. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE
RR MY23 HSE PHEV
D5 MY19 HSE - Now Sold
D4 MY16 HSE Luxury - Now Sold
D4 MY12 HSE - Gone
D3 MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

l heard that they were going to make most of the functionality via the touchscreen and remove a lot of the buttons/knobs

lt's what many people want apparently

Absolutely no one "wants" that. Except the JLR cost controllers of course.

Yes, buttons and knobs. Much easier and less distracting. Thumbs Up Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.
