Thread: The New Defender

Some good table comparisons on size/weight/clearance/power between P90/110 , D90/110 and D3/4:

New Land Rover Defender 2020 Specifications vs Old Defender vs Discovery3/4

Yawn indeed.... what the hell does any of this actually mean??

“BLAZE YOUR OWN TRAIL, WHATEVER THE TERRAIN”

...wot it’s got a tree felling blade on the front?

“Defy conventions and conquer the most uncharted landscapes.”
...wot you mean actually drive off the road?! On another planet?!

“...storing dirty or wet items is made easy and secure.”
...well you wouldn’t want your muddy scungies inside the tough Land Rover while blazing unchartered territories! ...or have your soggy sandos getting on the nubuck!

“Stylish bonnet detailing in Matte Black. Individuality is everything.”
...not if everyone’s got an individuality black bonnet thingy!

“Take your passions to new territories.”
...easy tiger! This is a family show! ...and I mean in another brand you would have to leave your passions behind LOL.

“Conquer the concrete jungle”
...is than one of those uncharted territories?!?

Yep, it’s a bullfrog named Defisco!

Its hard to believe that JLR went to all that trouble with the D5, when they knew all along that the D6 Defisco was in the pipeline! Bonkers.

AND GASP!! ...according to those specs, the new 110’s front wheel track is wider than the rear!! (Just like a 70 series!) ...or is it a typo?

EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS, mm

Length 5018, Width 2105, Height 1967, Wheelbase 3022, Front Track 1704, Rear Track 1670

Length 4583, Width 2105, Height 1970, Wheelbase 2587, Front Track 1706, Rear Track 1702

Lol. Thoroughly enjoyed that post

LR forgot that an estimated 75% of the world's population saw a series/ defender as their first car ever. This one will just follow the tracks left by the old one , in comfort and style.

Maybe you could send in some of your own suggestions for them to use

Actually, a rain catchment system is a good idea. I have seen a caravan with a rain catchment system so the roof water was directed to a catchment vent with a washable filter and then into a tank underneath.
Old Defenders could have a water tank fitted behind the rear wheel. Just needed to run a hose from the gutters to the rear tank nozzle. Good idea!

But no, I doubt the new Defender will have a rain catchment system.
Pity.
