2014 LR4 - Confirmation of no changes?

[Quijote]

Playing around on the website linked here, I (and so can you) got to the page below. I had to take a screen capture because linking does not work. But you can select MY 2014 LR4 and get to it.

It was pretty obvious the next gen would not come out at least until 2015, but I take this as confirmation that there will be no changes.

Changes will include revised front headlamp with tapered grill, presumably slightly upgraded navigation / stereo software, maybe different shifter - like the new sport.

The LR4 just got an upgraded nav/multi media system for 2013. I know there have been rumors of slightly different headlamps/grille, but do you have an internet source for this? I keep waiting for Land Rover to make an official announcement, but I'm sure we are still a couple months away.

There will be new side mirrors as well with LED indicators - which will be slightly strange right above the door repeater indicators. Unless LR put LED bulbs in the door repeaters the mirror LED indicators will flash on and off slightly faster than the door indicators.

Yes, I've seen that post multiple times over the past couple months. This is simply third party information at this point. Of course this is a test mule and I'm sure Land Rover will not have two different sets of side repeaters on the production car. I am excited to see the revised headlights however. I believe Land Rover did not release 2013 LR4 info until August of last year, so more than likely we still have a bit of time left before they feel compelled to release the 2014 stats. The waiting game continues.

I bet they do have both mirror and door indicators. I can't imagine they would change door skins for just 1 year worth of production.

 

[JMC08]

Even if they don't change the door skins, I would assume they would fill that void with some sort of emblem or trim work instead of having multiple turn signals right next to each other. Hopefully those new mirrors incorporate a new blind spot monitoring system.

I bet we will know sometime next year (hehehe). That was a joke because it took forever for the 2013s to show up on the Land Rover website.

This uncertainty is killing me. I really rather not buy one of the last 2013's, if only because I will probably get it a bit too soon. I just can't believe LR seems to do a better job keeping information inside than BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Audi, etc. By now, we'd know everything about a 2014 model for any of those makes, especially something major like a facelift or an engine change.

If there was something major coming down the pike for 2014, like a facelift or an engine change, we'd probably know about it by now.
