This is the min costs to get you the same basic underpinnings of off road ability as the very base model Disco 4...that's a bit of a jump [emoji1787].

Big prices for a company that has such a bad name for reliability. I have said it before , they wont be seeing my $$$ on any of the clone vehicles , and looking at whats being posted on here about the amount of electrics the pretender is going to have I am shying away from it as I cant see it being affordably priced.

Anyway the D3 has a few good years left so might be a few cheap options by then.

Cheers Ean

Couldn't agree more mate. I reckon LR are going away from their roots, more and more and unless we can get a base model Defender WITH low range, air suspension and terrain response for $80k or less on the road it just won't sell in big numbers. Certainly won't get my $$$ If you have to spend $100k to get that basic off-road ability.

Cheers

Still think you’ll get into a LR2020 for 60 gorillas ;)
Still think they will sell more than 100 a month?

That certainly puts the sales figures for D5 to shame.

And I bet those figures are for the RRS as well.

The aRangie market is totally different to the Defender target market.

Back on topic,the new Defender will be from around 80K onwards,at least.

First quarter of this year LR only sold 830 cars per month. Even Merc in the same period sold 3,085 per month. Toyota 16,593 (not total...per month).

Cheers

Ford Ranger alone 3300 per month (Hilux over 4000 pm).

Cheers

So LR needs to keep the Defender keenly priced or it won't make a decent profit. Cheers

Just RRS 346 sorry

Depending on what options people want it could be 80k [emoji6]

April figures show LR down more than 14% to 629 for the month.
