2020 LR Defender
Re: 2020 LR Defender
It's an infuriating thing with speccing new cars (based on playing with configurators, I've never bought a new car ). I get the idea of having the packs for ease of choice but you should be able to pick any option you want if you're happy to pay for it.
An absolute unit

Re: 2020 LR Defender
Is it down to WLTP? Manufacturers having to simplify option arrangements in order to keeping testing simple?
Re: 2020 LR Defender
You pretty much can - go for the base model, avoid the packs and you can have things like Cabin Walk-Through with 14-way electric memory leather seats.
Re: 2020 LR Defender
Can't get the big engine though. The one I made starts with the base car and it's pretty much what I'd have but I'd prefer it with the 6.

.............in this theoretical world where you'd in even the tiniest way be a potential customer for one
Re: 2020 LR Defender
Yes, Of course I'm not going to buy one but I demand they accommodate me anyway .

Ah - a "millennial", then
Re: 2020 LR Defender
The 6 is only available with the X model for the moment, but JLR are famous for offering expensive first editions for those silly enough to order them early.
My 'frugal' spec: https://build.landrover/0800F89B - the leather seats add over £5k so that's the main extravagance. Kept the cabin walk-through

Re: 2020 LR Defender
The white roof is available to spec - only on the green or blue, but it is there. I wondered why so many press shots showed configurations which weren't available. I want the white roof on a black one though.
Re: 2020 LR Defender
Yes that would certainly rouse my fury
Re: 2020 LR Defender
Blue with a white roof. I think this is how I'd buy it. https://build.landrover/E0C2D38E

White interior of braveness there

I'd be happy with that, but with a black interior and the wheel arch protectors.Jobbo wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 12:21 pm Blue with a white roof. I think this is how I'd buy it. https://build.landrover/E0C2D38E

Re: 2020 LR Defender
Do they not offer that ubiquitous light bluey greeny colour? It would look good in that and provide yet another hark back to the original. Maybe I should work for these idiotsJobbo wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 12:21 pm Blue with a white roof. I think this is how I'd buy it. https://build.landrover/E0C2D38E
Re: 2020 LR Defender
That actually has the wheelarch protectors, but you can't see them because they only show up in the pics if you select one of the packs which come with them.
If you're going for ventilated leather seats in a Defender, you may as well have them in cream

Re: 2020 LR Defender
How does it fit size wise alongside a Disco Sport? And in terms of off-road tech/capability?
And towing capacity?
