Not bad.

 

[martinbo]

It's a Hybrid. :|

Edit: But not all.

Also, it looks like both coil springs (ground clearance not known at this stage) and air suspension will be available.

Lots more info to come...

They should have done the G thing and updated the Everything but keep the exterior.

JLR don’t have the financial luxury of developing expensive halo cars that sell in low volumes.

I think the new Defender looks great. The two tone version will have amazing presence in person.

The high levels of customisation will make it a nightmare for sales people to explain.

Features I find very cool are:

-Full height boot partition
-Accessories such as wheel arch protection and scuff protection for wing mirrors and the corners of the car.

I'm surprised by the base price of this Landy. 35 k Pounds is roughly 40 k Euro and this is with the VAT. Really impressive.

At the risk of getting bashed. This would be a great city car....

On the UK website, the starting price for the 110 is £45,000. £35,000 must be for the 90 which I can't see in the configurator.

These are just base prices. After packs and options, the 110 will cost roughly between a Velar and an X5/GLE/Q7. If you want a 6 cylinder engine, the price gets bumped up remarkably.

@KiwiRob - I'm about to pull the biggest about-face in the history of this forum. And, no, it won't be happening in the 4er Concept thread.

Let's talk!

Is this a three front seat version on one of the photos?

Yes - it's an option.

I can understand that the concept 4er is a dog.

This Defender is absolutely brilliant isn’t it. It ticks all the boxes, they’re making commercial versions, consumer versions, and I guess somewhere down the line there will be military versions, I’m betting it will kill off the Discovery. Who would want a Disco when the 110 is so much more vehicle.

I think it’s amazing, the 110 has jumped to the top of my must have SUV’s list, it’s a shame I’m in Norway because I would really like to own one, probably more than any other car in recent times.

Now all they need for a pickup version.

You know, I really like it but at the same time if you told me this styling had been finalized in 2006 I would be tempted to believe you. It really reminds me of LR3 era Land Rover styling.

I think the new G is a failure, it has no purpose anymore, its now a car for rich men’s WAGS.

Well no one really cares what you think as it stands at 18-20 month waiting time for all variants right now.

There is your opinion and then there is reality.. 2 vastly different things.

I can imagine this car must have a huge options list for all the customization items. I will have a look at the UK site to check. Interested to see what colour options they have for the interior and exterior.

Funky and I like it.

 

[Abbat]

Love it.
