I have it on good grounds that the reveal will be the first week of October and that first deliveries will be January.

Just got the same news here. The factory will be continuing to churn out MY 2017 when they return from their summer break. But me happy to wait

Wonder if that indicates some major changes, or are they just too busy? MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Maybe they just don't want it to compete with the Velar.

The more I look at Velar, the more I think it won't steal RRS sales. But you may have a fair point. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

So the couple of guys on this forum 'in the know' who told us all we would know by July about the new model year changes haven't got a clue. Thank goodness I ignored them a few months ago, ordered and took delivery of my car and have now thoroughly enjoyed it for 2 months.

Well, there is never much hoo ha about Model Year detail changes anyway. They tend to be kept quiet, so as to not disturb the flow of sales I suspect.

It takes a deal of work to find out what the changes are, usually, and the dealers rarely know it properly themselves. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

I thought this included an all-electric version, though?

RRSMan inferred that he knew what the changes would be and that they were going to be significant with an announcement in July. has he got anymore info?

I think the only "spy" pictures / video anybody has seen are those originally published by Motor Authority back in May which seem to have been regurgitated several times! Yes there have been a few claims here about how superb the MY 2018 looks but nobody has trumped up with anything material and I doubt anybody would.

You have bought an MY17 so why worry? Enjoy your car!

The changes were due to be announced in July but it seems they have been delayed no idea why! The significant changes talked about previously are happening and the updated RRS will appear most likely with a PheV sometime soon...I know people who have seen the car but are unable to tell me much more!

I meant more compete for publicity etc. When the hoo-ha over the Velar has died down a bit, they'll have something else to publicise,

I thought JLR had officially announced a RRS plug-in hybrid for "early 2018"?

2 litre 4 pot petrol plus leccy motors. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Just seen a pics of a white RRS uncovered apparently in factory bonnet open / under testing.

VELAR front end grill and LED matrix lights, wide open lower grills SVO style vents, rear exposed exhausts through bumper.

And before you ask, no, he wouldn't send the pictures.
