New model D5?
When are JLR likely to give the the D5 an update?
I'm assume they will give it a tweek this autumn and a more major 'facelift' next autumn.
Is that correct? and when are the autumn updated models available for delivery from?
Cheers.

There will be no facelift as it will have to be an arselift............refit a proper split tailgate which will allow the number plate to placed wherever .

You might wish for it, but an update won’t happen anytime soon, so I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Personally speaking I think the front needs more attention, those piggy little lights look just wrong. Ok, it’s a long list of things needing fixed aesthetically but that’s at the top of it for me.

Noooo, they’re just following the company brand book and making sure all models look the same. Socialism at its best.

Certainly socialists over here have more sense, only seen one in Hoi An. All the equiv big 4x4s are LCs and Lexuses, with a smattering of blinged up FFFRs, incl a yellow one.

Also does anybody know what the new colours are going to be, as I believe they are dropping Corris Grey & Loire Blue.

You seem to be alone in that, and many other views del

It’s only the die hard Disco owners that actually want a stick instead of a knob. Things evolve, get over it.

If you are really interested in a D5 then far better to ask on the Disco5 forum where most of us live a happy life not worrying about rear ends or lights, etc !

That's pushing it even for you, talk to my wife, son and daughter and they'll all tell you it is , I shot and Goodwood in January and the old head keeper has one, he says it's , his son in law the current keeper says its . Accept it some people like it some don't, as long as you are happy with it what does it matter? DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

I tell you no lies...

I'd also like to question the eyesight of those that perhaps think your Porsche is any less debatable in the looks department 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
