RE: My13

Because last year at launch they were accused by the motoring press of over badging it and de-valuing the RR name. Could be worse - they could have replaced the badges with Tata badges (maybe that's on the menu for 2013.5MY...............)

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Other than the addition of the LR badge to the radiator grille there is no change to the exterior of the car from MY12. The configurator has always programmed that when you select delete engine badge it removes the "Range Rover" letters from the boot; is this where you are taking your info from?

I really hope that's a mistake! I can't see the rear Range Rover logo on any model in the configurator!!

RE: My13

I did not select delete engine badge at all. I just selected an evoque dynamic, and see the external view. At the beginning I found the rear side a little different but wasn´t able to figure out why, until I saw there was no lettering. I have always seen this Range Rover lettering before the MY13 configurator change. It can be a mistake with too much photoshop, or just a silly mistake, but for the moment the lettering is not there. On the spanish configurator it has dissapeared too. Until this change it was there even though you selected delete engine badge.

RE: My13

Indeed, no rear lettering on UK config.....how odd. Prob just a tech glitch.

Maybe they regret badging as a Range Rover, as it kinda widens the 'posh' gap somewhat. £20k+ for a base Evoque > £70k for a base new Range Rover.....Stretching the 'poshness' band somewhat
