The design is functional not meant to have big overhangs, more so short overhangs to conquer a mountain of your choice. Let me use words from Land Rover themselves for the description

"The front is tough but approachable, emphasized by the geometric forms of its highly technical headlamps which feature the latest adaptive technology, while beautifully sculptured fenders combined with squared wheel arches and strong shoulders all contribute to the vehicle’s sense of solidity and robustness, the rear, the geometric forms of the distinctive high-tech lamps harmonize perfectly with the front end design. The sheerness of the rear vertically maintains the short overhang for a superior departure angle while maximizing interior space and accentuating the vehicle’s strong shoulder section."
