It is, but it's not Defender, it's the new Disco-Lite making way for Defender to replace Disco 4 in JLR's New line-up for hipster beardy's = Defender-Lite.

What about Defender Sport.....

Fits in well with the rest of the family

We can only hope............

Pricing won't wander too far away from today's Discovery 4, so expect the base 3.0 V6 diesels to kick off from about $70,000, topping out at $100,000 for the flagship variants.

Frumpy-luxe clone.

It really doesn't inspire but I suppose with pedestrian protection, wind taming etc they are all going to look basically the same. Doesn't do anything for me. Cheers

I don't believe that at all.

Compared with the last model,its bigger,lots of alloy,more up market,more tech,not much of a price increase?

We can only hope.

Unless it also comes out in a very base model.

Actually,the flagship current model D4 is well over $100k.

I think it will have to be priced under the L494 by a fair margin. Given its a similar design the L494 is a good bench mark.

The L494 is about $100k drive away retail. But that's without a dual range box. I'm betting the D5 base will also be single range.

The new Defender will be closer to a base D4 in appointments and tech, but with what ever small diesel they the entry level D5 has. So the fast very capable cars with lots of lux are for the mega rich. They have already hinted they will push up the L405 in price and appointments.

I've just had these pics come across my desk this morning:
