    Good question, I guess it depends on the value recieved.

    For sure for that price you would expect almost zero would have to be done by the owner before heading offroad seriously.

    From memory D5 SVX was tipped to be around 135k+

    Some svx goodies i could find quickly

    New Hydro active roll control with more wheel articulation (H-ARC system)

    Increased appeoach and departure via redesigned front/rear bumpers

    Easy access front recovery point.

    Longer suspension travel

    New steering knuckles

    525hp v8

    Bigger air intakes

    Offroad wheels/tyres

    Winch

    Light covers

    Light bars

    Custom software to suit.

    Custom tecton grey paint

    Aditional recovery points

    Underbody protection and all around bash plates, rock sliders under doors.

    Pistol shifter, for quick offroad shifts.

    Svx interior and seats


    ...


    Will be interesting what of the above will be on the new defender standard, we allready know a few.

    Nah, it was rumored to be 180K plus when first revealed. This article says 200K:

    Land Rover Discovery SVX and Range Rover SV Coupe cancelled - Car News | CarsGuide

    Both SVO-developed products were set to be on sale in Australia by now, with pricing expected to start at around $200,000 for the Discovery SVX and $500,000 for the Range Rover SV Coupe.
    My point is that all the things that would improve it's capability and robustness should not be restricted to the exclusivity of a $200K vehicle. They should be in the base product or at the very least options you can tick. I think it would be a mistake for LR to restrict all the off road enhancements to the SVX product.

    Most articles when you google discovery svx price state 75000 pounds or 75000 US dollars

    They are all estimates, pricing was never released.

    Agree with your point, looking at the gwagon the most capable is the cheapest.

    As i mentioned it looks like some of the svx disco gear will already be avail on the new defender so maybe landrover agree with you too.

    That is a really good looking vehicle,and i recon close to the real deal,hopefully.

    The rear side cargo area window is still a bit of a mystery,they are keeping something from us there.
    Maybe a gullwing?

    Who knows,we will have to wait and see.

    Yes, I like it. I just need a rich relative to die and leave me money - or I could sell a grandchild!

    Just coming back to the SVX pricing....I think you may be being a little optimistic. Remember we are the land of taxes, after exchange rate, import duties, LCT, GST etc the price gets pushed way up.

    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.

    As I said before, I really hope they make the good stuff available in the lower end models.
    Cheers,

    Sean
