The evidence says otherwise

"The Defender has up to ten different body styles from soft top to Utility Wagon to Double Cab Pick Up"

Is that a quote from LR Black Rangie? Cheers

Agreed, not much behind the back seats by the looks, but with capability comes compromise, 50 degrees departure by the looks

If there is that many body styles a cab chassis is more likely than not.

Found these pics awhile ago online, again we have no idea how close or real these are, more of a talking point.
We already know the wheels will be smaller than in these illustrations. Not a bad effort imo.

Imo it seems there is much about the new defender that will be modular, both in driveline and body styles allowing many combinations.

A Defender Was Versatile , Its was avaliable in multiple wheelbases , as a Van , ute, station wagon , HCPU , and Hardtop , and can be made no top , or soft top. an infinite amount of variations really. Thats Versatile .

Of course, no single Defender was all of those things - and there's no evidence yet that the new one won't also come in multiple formats.

Actually, they're not mules, they're pilot builds. So what's beneath the camouflage is the real thing that we'll be driving in a year or two.
