Land Rover may be a specialized all-wheel drive SUV maker, but it's not sitting idle waiting for the competition to bring it to an early grave – instead, they innovate and then innovate some more.
For example, their US roster consists of no less than nine models starting with the $49k Discovery Sport and continuing with the regular $60k Discovery, Defender 90 plus 110, and the new 130 to wrap up with no less than four Range Rover models: Evoque ($50k), Velar ($61,500), Range Rover Sport ($84k), and the classic Range Rover patriarch kicking off at no less than $108k.

Soon, there will be a fifth Range Rover and a fourth Defender – the company is diligently testing the upcoming Defender OCTA, which was last caught screaming its twin-turbo BMW V8 lungs out ahead of the forthcoming 2024 edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Also, the British company with Indian patrons continues to make the last-minute adjustments for the upcoming Range Rover Electric.

We have known for a while that it's coming. Land Rover even opened the pre-orders a bit prematurely last year, and they showed it during testing without any camouflage. It has been spied on and rendered on countless occasions. However, some folks don't think that the Range Rover EV will look like in the official teasers.

Since they belong across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, these dwellers of the parallel universes of vehicular CGI have decided to take matters into their own hands – or rather, at the tip of the CGI brush. Such is the case with Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com), a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm and wants to imagine something a little more interesting than a regular Range Rover with EV badges and nothing else.

Taking into account that other companies won't fall down the same bottomless and boring pit, he looked at Cadillac as the Escalade IQ is not just an upcoming version of the regular, ICE-powered Escalade, but rather its own full-size battery-powered SUV. Thinking that millionaires "in the market for a huge $150,000 electric SUV" will need more and more choices in the future, the pixel master cooked up a different styling for the upcoming Range Rover EV, which should arrive officially for its initial presentation before the end of the year.

The changes are simple yet impactful – the profile gets a streamlined appearance with different body cladding in black plastic, a changed front-fender design element, and a big array of LED lights at the rear. That's the back of the SUV, not the front. It seems the CGI expert simply forgot to color the LED strip red when he rendered the latest design project.
