I agree which is partly why I am thinking Defender but this sounds promising (and expensive) - if they are planning this for the discovery brand then the defender has to be at least as good:

That would be tempting, but if the non-SVX version is as good as the current D4 off-road, then it may make more sense to modify it yourself, as you'd know better than them what type of off-road you do.

But with a "factory" mod you get no issues with warranty.
Adjustments to suspension geometry to increase clearance & rti, so that it can be like a defender

Let's hope the factory mod bullbar won't be like the current D4 factory one. What a joke! Lol
That's the trouble with factory mods is they can be pretty crap!

It must have looked good to someone... Hence my comment on doing my own mods rather than taking something from the factory.

There's an interesting article in this thread that perhaps indicates the way Land Rover are heading for the D5 transmission.
Dual clutch no transfer box

Or perhaps it would debut on Range Rovers before trickling down to Discovery.

The article mentions it being in the new Deefer.

Interesting

Seeing more "spy" pics online (inflated disco sport) and a late 2016 (mid 2017 here I'll bet) date but not much in the way of fact.

Local dealer told me that the 2017 release is more like a D4a update, with the newer model coming later.
