As we've been following the spy photos that have been unearthing the next-generation, flagship Range Rover, we've slowly been seeing a striptease. Slowly but surely a piece of camouflage is removed here, a bit there and soon enough we'll finally see it in its bare skin.

While it maintains the iconic, utilitarian look of Range Rovers of yore, it's clear that its styling treatment is MUCH tidier and modernized. Note the new headlights and LEDs.

Extensive use of aluminium for the bodywork will make this Range Rover significantly lighter and therefore more fuel efficient than its 2,810kg predecessor, but it will be even more spacious inside. The £120,000 Range Rover Ultimate tested the water for moving the Range Rover even further upmarket – and its success means the new car will be slightly more expensive but more luxurious than ever, too.
