Thread: All new defender

And this

"Whatever happens, the new Defender will continue Land Rover’s recent move upmarket. “In its core form it can be something that can be quite elemental up to something incredibly luxurious,” said McGovern."

Thats a good indication it will be more in D4 class than a vehicle that it was.

LC 70 will not be in the same class.

There was also indications that a utility version may not appear,at least for a while.

Personally,from what has been seen and said,i don't think there will be one.

Anyway,as said,we will have to wait,not long to go now...

Maybe the cranks keep snapping during proto testing and that’s why it’s launch is later and later

Good points,however the wording was as follows:

Whatever happens, the new Defender will continue Land Rover’s recent move upmarket. (Reporter)

“In its core form it can be something that can be quite elemental up to something incredibly luxurious,” said McGovern.(JLR)

the wording shows it can be utilitarian to luxury in the same car.

“In its core form it can be something that can be quite elemental"

Comparing the D4 interior to the leaked interior, D4 looks luxury, new defender utilitarian. Based on that it would seem the defender would be more hardcore than a D4.

With the ute, is it the two mules that you are saying are the indicators of no ute?

"The Defender has up to ten different body styles from soft top to Utility Wagon to Double Cab Pick Up allowing you to ride around Delray Beach in the Defender that’s best for you and your driving needs."

The Land Rover Lineup: Land Rover will have three branches to their model lineup: the luxury Range Rover branch, the versatile Discovery branch, and the Defender branch, which aims to offer the “world’s most capable off-road vehicles.”

Agree they may or may not happen from "D" Day, but it looks like a family of defenders is happening.

Enough already. Until Land Rover release official data - I am over the speculation. Give me actual FACTS.

Just did haha, lots of them, actual JLR comments, announcements and links

A Range Rover EV that can recharge in 2.7 hours using a JLR supplied charging point sounds cool, but at what cost? Normal 7kw home charging points are about $2k from memory.

Look its kind of fun but really all just bollocks at the moment. We all cleary would be better off getting out and driving our existing oil leakers. Cheers
