Stupid thing is its the lower cost models that would be the most likely to actually use the good offroad tech in the real world and not the fully optioned most expensive version.

Take the RRS SVR as an example, in the UK it starts at GBP95,725. Here, it starts at AUD238,200 before on road costs. If the same approach is applied to the GBP75K for a defender SVX (assumed price) that will translate to AUD186K before on roads.

Firstly we must remember they are all estimates, not real figures (made up).

Good points re: comparative pricing UK/AU.

How much more was a defender SVX in AU compared to the normal model in current defender?

How much will a new defender be?

Will most varients of the new defender be LCT free?

Will there be LCT on EV/Hybrids by the time the new defenders hit showrooms?

Put their money where their mouth is , Camel / Finke / Darien Gap / Dakar , lets see what these things are made of !!

And about the same amount of wheel travel / cross axle articulation too, I guess it saves on tyre wear [bigwhistle]
At least the Skoda Yeti Traction Control works (this is the old body shape , New one does look a lot more like the JLR thing)

so quiet though !!
