Dear Sean,

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/newreply....reply&t=273110

We’ve tested it to the extreme and now the New Land Rover Defender will make its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show on Tuesday 10th September 2019. The New Land Rover Defender completed its first tough overland assignment among the towering 300m canyons in Kazakhstan. Now, Land Rover’s most capable 4x4 will travel on its road to reveal from the remote Valley of the Castles, Kazakhstan to Frankfurt.

Thanks BR
I know I may have seemed a dick in this thread and others
But I am a died in the wool defender tragic and that press release and image of Defender bonnet gets the blood pumping!
Will tune in after work to see some video!

Chances are I won’t love the aesthetic of this thing
But I’ll still appreciate it.

Until there is / if there is a ute I can’t see me owning one but it’s still a bit exciting after all the marketing BS and camo rubbish

Steve

Seems like there might be three families to JLR off road labels:
Range Rover
Discovery
Defender

From the sound of the pre view of the new Defender ...

Yes that's right, that has been stated by Land Rover for quite a few years now.

What is the source of the photo?

Good news from your photo is that it looks to me that the rear side windows extend back a long way, unlike in the camouflaged versions.

There appears to be a spare tyre on the back door of that vehicle too?

And the ladder frame design will make it cheaper to build variant bodies for the manufacturer.

Here's a recent report on an old D3 that hit a new Pajero:
Discovery 3 vs Pajero Sport

IMO the D3 seems a bit stronger.
