2020 LR Defender
2020 LR Defender
Just looks like a Yeti to me.
Re: 2020 LR Defender
That's disappointing.
Would've been better if they'd gone for the Jeep/G-Wagen method. usefully update the running gear while just tidying up the styling a bit.

An absolute unit
Re: 2020 LR Defender
It’s just another model in the already crowded and confusing Discovery/Range Rover range by the looks of it.
Re: 2020 LR Defender
And there was me concerned I wouldn't absolutely hate it. Shouldn't have worried

Re: 2020 LR Defender
The Internet will piss and moan about it. We’ll hear from everyone with a vague interest in cars saying they should’ve done this, or shouldn’t have done that, how it’s not a “real” Defender (mostly from people who never drove a “real” Defender. And despite all this, they’ll sell as many as they can build.
Middle-aged Dirtbag
Re: 2020 LR Defender
So there’s basically one design and a load of sizes, all overlapping:
Evoque 3dr. = Defender 3dr
Evoque 5dr. = Discovery sport. = Defender 5dr.
Velar. = Range Rover Sport
Range Rover = Discovery
Or something like that?
Evoque 3dr. = Defender 3dr
Evoque 5dr. = Discovery sport. = Defender 5dr.
Velar. = Range Rover Sport
Range Rover = Discovery
Or something like that?

And they’ll sell HUGE amounts of options sold on each one!NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 10:49 am The Internet will piss and moan about it.

It does look like they just rob sales from themselves though. But if that’s the market - they know what they’re doing.

In fairness this applies to EVERY car that has a loved predecessor.NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 10:49 am The Internet will piss and moan about it.

Looks like a smaller, slightly more rounded Disco4 to me.

Re: 2020 LR Defender
I like it.
Also explains the “who let the Jimny into the paddock with the in-season Defender” meme that was going around Twitter last week.

Re: 2020 LR Defender
I just think it’s a shame. Another interesting oddity gone.
I’d have preferred if they’d used the name/off road heritage as an opportunity to do something different rather than a completely standard high end painted metal car that is exactly the same as the rest of the range.

Re: 2020 LR Defender
I prefer the Lego version. Don't like the alloys on the one in the picture, and the headlights look weird. It's a cross between a Yeti and Disco 3 in my view.
Re: 2020 LR Defender
So the original leaked pics were of the final car (the ones that a member of staff took before they were adding camo to a Defender).
I think this is really the car that the Discovery should have been. It’s just a renamed Disco really.

How about not having a sig at all?

Perhaps Jeep Wrangler sales will improve

It absolutely looks like a Kia Soul. And the previous generation at thatspeedingfine wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 11:51 am I like it. But if we're taking the piss, it looks like a Kia Soul.
