Wow... that's ummm, quite a bit of money. Allot more then the previous model that's for sure !

BR
How close was my prediction soooo many months ago in “that” thread? I was way under predicting the price of this thing

Dealer delivery / on roads /LCT to be added to all those base only prices!!!
Then plus plus for the littlest accessories
And still a poxy three year warranty.

Hmmmm

No Ute
Ugly
Crazy $

New Defender in Aus = Irrelevant


Tombie - Me thinks your P400 budget just exploded!

Please explain how you got to that figure pricing starts at 69k

Add premium upgrade pack, advanced offroad pack you are still waaay under your estimate, just depends what base you start on.

see below

OK - waded through the options - your are right you can add leather to base spec. Couldn't see pricing. So not too bad, although double a top spec Triton on the road, so for me I am glad I pulled the trigger on the Triton (and I needed one when I bought it and couldn't wait for the new Defender). Still after a few years shake down I might look again. It is not twice the vehicle though - far from it, and these days I like looking at value as well as the drive.

However if that price list is ex LCT then $75,000 including leather seats will be ANOTHER $8,500 odd including LCT, dealer delivery, GST on dealer delivery, rego in Qld...wow that's getting expensive for what it is although compared to Disco 5 looks pretty good price wise...

It’s a trivial problem but it will probably rule me out for the first release.
I don’t want a Sun Roof, but I do want the Active Matrix Headlights and preferably diesel.
The Active Matrix Headlights are only available on the HSE.

I think the price will already include LCT. If it doesn't then LCT is only calculated on every dollar over the LCT threshold which is currently $67,525. So, for a $75K vehicle(inc. GST), LCT will be 33% of $7,474 = $2,466.75.

LCT will definitely be classified as “an onroad charge” As is GST as is rego...
Dealer delivery will be what $2500 or so?

My reading of those prices is An easy plus $10k to get a drive out the door price.
Before accessories (which get slugged with LCT too)

Won’t be too many sub $90k 110s out the door by the time people add paint / silly side ladders
Etc ...

This is a seriously luxo SUV that just happens to be quite capable off-roader
It’s too ugly to steal buyers from the RangeRover market
It’s going to be very very niche in Australia which is a shame as the relevance of LR will fade ;(
