Deeper wading than the new defender thing
Must be all them batteries weighing it down!!!
I wonder how they go in 600mm fast flowing water!

Im sorta glad that Bollinger set their price at around ~AU$200k No vehicle is worth that, no matter how good it is.
If I'd have committed to one of those (and would have if it was around AU$125k) I would not be able to afford one of these.

Who knows
I was just looking at that video blurb that said wading depth greater than 3feet ?
I’m guessing it will be well heavier than defender with 400mile range it will have some batteries
If you put an extra tonne into the defender it would probably go through a metre too
But it would never do 0-100 in three seconds! That’s nuts.

BwahHahahahaha hahaha
The new defender is out the door 600kg or so heavier than my 130
Or in percentage terms 33% heavier
And your calling it a lightweight!!!!
The new defender will be deadset terrible in tea tree swamp country
Just like 200series are - but anyways I care not as we are comparing a luxo SUV wagon to a pickup. There is no market share between an electric Ute and a small IC luxury wagon.
My tdci 130 with me and about half fuel load (75L) just cracked 1950kg on the weighbrisge
I too like to keep things light.
I thought the new one was 2450kg tare?
My old 130 was just over 1850kg tare. Alloy tray significantly lighter than the tub.
Anyways - it’s not really a comparison Between tray back and wagon
I’m happy your happy
Neither of us would be happy In the others shoes
But you can’t think that a new defender is a lightweight !!!!

New def 110 5 seater 2.36t
130 is 2.12t
240kg difference (not if someone has added a hardtop)
New 110 has better offroad angles
Ill take the clearance under an ifs long travel air susp truck on 32s over pumpkins anyday in swampy terrain. Add to that the power to weight ratio to get through it with the skinny pedal when you need it.
New defender is pretty light imo for the specs you get and 3 times stronger than body on frame they say. Not to shabby
Aussie specs on tdci

130 Cab chassis a shade under 1900kg Tare weigh
And mine on a weighbridge went 1950 with me and I dunno 50-60L of dieso ally tray ARB bar on it ....
Weight kills off-road performance - but as you say it’s not too bad weight wise considering all the Mumbo Jumbo it’s carrying! I’m sure it will perform admirably in nearly off road situations
And surely more competent than a Rivian !!!!
