The Autoblog spy photographers are being kept very busy as automakers across the pond put their upcoming vehicles through grueling winter tests, and their latest sighting shows that the fifth-generation L460 Range Rover is finally getting an update. The luxury SUV has been around since 2022, and ahead of the facelift’s launch (expected for the 2027 model year), the Range Rover’s latest iteration will be adorned with a new look for the front end. Subtle revisions are also expected at the rear, but what piques our interest most is the cabin; camouflage has also been applied inside the development vehicle, indicating that a refresh of the Range Rover’s interior will coincide with the introduction of a new-look face.
2027 Range Rover Updates Will Be Subtle but Significant

Camouflage over the entire vehicle, including cladding on the bumpers, indicates that the front and rear fascias will be altered somewhat, and the fact that the upper grille between the headlights has been made to look like the current Range Rover confirms that JLR is hiding a significant change. The lower front fascia will get new intake vents, and it appears that the existing intake holes will be enlarged. As for the headlights, these will retain a notch that intrudes into the center grille, but the uppermost “eyebrow” looks as if it will no longer stretch into the fender.
At the rear, the changes are even more subtle, with the current model’s vertically-oriented taillights maintained for the facelift. However, tape on the horizontal crossbar that connects these lights suggests a subtle change. Our best guess is that the RANGE ROVER script will now be illuminated, a design choice that makes particular sense as the first Range Rover EV approaches.
2027 Range Rover to Get Revised Interior

Although the windows on this prototype are not tinted, seeing inside is tricky in these hastily shot images. Despite that, the front view shows plenty of fabric camouflage over the dashboard, which means that the screens will be seeing changes, with an updated driver information display and a revised center touchscreen. As in the Range Rover Sport, very few buttons exist on the current interface, and given the backlash many automakers have seen from a button-free layout, it’s entirely possible that JLR will give its bread-and-butter SUV a more tactile means of engaging with the media setup. As for powertrains, this facelift is unlikely to bring any significant changes, with the range-topping variants still to be powered by a 4.4-liter BMW-designed V8. We’ll know more as the camouflage comes off, and a reveal should take place before the year is out.
