Now given how many options there are and given that even modest headlight upgrades are expensive in LR I agree that it wouldn't take long at all to get to $95_100k on the road.

Cheers

Most people that get the base model won't be getting leather seats imo.

The way i see it, if you want a bare bonesish defender and happy with 10second 0-100 its 70k+ extras

You want a reasonable power diesel with more goodies 80 to 90k + extras

You want V8 fast petrol, with economy of a smaller engine 95 to 110k + extras

This is all with EAS standard, twin speed transfer, 8speed auto, Apple carplay, android auto,dab,remote,nav, adaptive dynamics, offroad tyres, 2 zone climate control, keyless, tpms, airbags etc.

They seem to have added a fair bit more to standard than the base D5.

90 will no doubt shave around 10k off those prices.

Mate the pov pack is $77k on the road. And that is cloth seats and not a thing ticked in the many boxes.

hmmm, I think the D5 S badge has coil springs - whats the $ for the D5 SE badger?

Oh well see what happens after all the excitement disappears over the next Year or so,and they sort out the niggles.

Oh,and a big diesel arrives

So petrol,SE,tick a couple of boxes,and you will be around $120K

I thought the D5 was constant 4wd with optional low range - I didn't realise there was a 2wd version - who would buy that.

Sorry yes. I meant no low range. Cheers
