2014 Range Rover Sport spied again in England!

Two weeks ago you saw here pictures of the upcoming Range Rover Sport, now we have some more images of the car while testing in England. This time we get to see the back a little better.

It has a rather large rear spoiler and a lower roof line in comparison with the "normal" Range Rover. In the front we are able to see that the front bumper is very similar to the one in the Evoque. We might even see the presentation in just a few weeks, so stay tuned.
