Body will probably remain the same with new bumpers, new grille, head and tail lights, maybe a redesign/relocation/removal of the fake side vents, I've noticed on a few pictures of running prototypes of the MY18 that the fake plastic vent stuck on the bonnet has gone too. Some new wheels, engines, some new tech taken from the VELAR for the interior et voilą!

I just heard from the local dealer today that the 2018 facelift would be presented late August / beg. of Sept. At least before the IAA motor show in Frankfurt. He said that the el-motor (EDM) just had 100 hp (in addition to the 295hp 4cyl petrol engine), but still 50km pure electrical range. I said that the hp-figures in the media has been 201+295, but he said that was not correct.

Any thoughts on when the MY 18 will be announced?

We're going to the IAA Motor show in Frankfurt next week - I really hope that the PEHV (or facelift) L405 will be at the show. |

I saw the rear end of an undisguised MY18 inside the factory at Solihull this morning. I wasn't allowed to take a photo.

Yes plenty! Quite exciting someone's actually seen it undisguised! Can you PLEASE tell us more Red Merle? A bit disappointed that RM didn't think it looked good though! |

Wish that I could tell you more, but all I got to see was a disguised car, square on from the front and an undisguised car, square on from the rear.

It won't have the same appearance as the VELAR. Some design features and tech from the VELAR but I can't imagine the low roof line, the rear lights for instance being taken over. My guess is new front and rear lights, redesigned side vents, front and rear bumpers, double touchscreen like in the VELAR and some new engines. Hopefully along the hybrid versions, there will be the uprated 5.0L Supercharged engine from the facelifted Sport SVR. |
