Thread: The New Defender

From what I saw when I ran through the build you can option a base model with pretty much everything except the 6 cylinder petrol.

I was keen on the petrol but now I think the D240 would be adequate and much better value.

Sounds about the same situation to me, Ill pm you, there was RRP pricing emailed to me posted on this thread by a syd dealer, not sure if he was supposed to, also not sure if all the mags used that or had their own sources for the release of prices new over last few days.

Just had one say they can enter prices manually.

I would have to see it in the flesh and get a test drive b4 spending new car money. But it would be exciting to sign on early!

Whoever it is on here that gets one in first will be doing the forum a great service.

Those of you on pre-order, any idea when the first shipment is coming in?

Fully agree - the New Defender will be a success and I like it a lot. I also expect it will exceed sales expectations.

They are following the same formula to market as a lifestyle choice and will fill a gap that saw the D1/2 a success in both Europe and the US.

The Slovakian plant has capacity to build 300,000 cars a year - and so JRL are ideally placed to flex production between the Discovery and Defender. So clearly the intent will be if the Defender take sales off the Discovery they can still grow total market share.

The Europeans are world leaders when it comes to manufacturing flexibility. This will be a success.

The new Defender will be best Discovery ever made.....

I keep hearing mid next year for accessories etc but we might get luck and it be between march and june for car? Just guesstimate though

I’ve studied all the options available on the 110, S, and SE variants using the Specification and Price Guide and I can’t get within a mile of explaining the pricing variations.

The basic 110 with Active Diff, Roof Rails, Tow Hitch (I can’t believe it’s not standard.), Driver Assist Pack, and Off-Road pack covers most items. I’m open as to the D200 v’s D240.

What am I missing?

Leather seats would be nice to combat dog hair.

The Explorer Pack - Accessories - Land Rover Defender - Land Rover AU

Click this and click on pack upgrades for example Explorer.. you can see things like the ladder front under shield side steps sliders etc. They say these will be available around mid 2020 and from my understanding they are dealer fitted, so can add to the car before pick-up.

A hire car.
