LAND ROVER DEMONSTRATE PEDESTRIAN AIRBAGS Wouldn't be surprised if the next-gen Defender is a hybrid with a smooth high front end and reduced front visibility.

Regulation and technology have killed to Defender as we know it.

A couple of good references: 13/14CU AND 14CUX SYSTEMS I just scanned quickly but the pinouts look the same. The last 3 pages speak to tune levels for particular engines and years. While it doesn't include the 14CU, on the CUX, I would be surprised if they didn't have tune levels for earlier...

D1 - $35K D2 - $45K D3 - $55K D4 - $65K D5 - $75K Into a rising interest rate environment. Mortgage loan anyone?

Consider this a guess. I have a 98 Discovery as a reference point. Some time in the past I had a radiator shop uncap, rod and solder the radiator. D1 radiators are metal. Later it had a slow leak and the old school radiator shop guy was surprised that they had used rubber seals on the tranny...

I would consider early LR3's as the first model year while the LR4 was a upgrade to an existing platform. In reality all built-in NAV systems are obsolete the year they are introduced. Reminds me of console entertainment systems from the 50's. Make your short list of must have's and find the...

Mmmm, No. Automotive technology is a slow evolution of platform engineering and borrowing from other models. For JLR the typical approach is to introduce it in the Range Rover at high margin, pay for the R&D and slowly move it downstream into Land Rover products at lower cost and higher volume...

The LR4 was a great tow vehicle with weight and power while the D5 is probably too light for many. Tow Vehicle and Caravan Weight

The rear hatch pic highlights why the D5 is a no-go for us. Try opening that in your standard garage, reduced opening angle or not.

I'm sure the D5 will drive nice, similar to Volvo and Audi. I also think the D5 will sell well as it will expand potential customers. Not quite a cross-over and not really a SUV, serving more Sport than Utility. That said, less DNA than DI, DII, LR3, LR4. Can't help remembering Triumph Motor...

The D5 looks like the evolving mid-size crossover that has enhanced off road capability with all the bells and whistle gadget every other manufacturer is adding to their product line. Open up the Land Rover website and be presented with basically the same body shape across all models. They now...

I've said before, Gerry McGovern's legacy depends on the next generation Defender. It was said that he understands Land Rover's DNA. Not seeing it so far. His Evoque, D5 and Velar are insignificant in the legacy big picture. As for the NY auto show, the D5 was placed next to the Discovery...

Brake swept area requirements should have gone down with the reduction of roughly 20% in weight, ~1000 lbs with the D5. The Evoque was the tell. As the dealer said the Evoque was/is a fashion statement. The D5 continues that fashion statement. Style over substance that will shorten redesign...

They are offering low profile / bigger wheels because that is the latest fad. Personally I think it looks like hell. Toughest 4x4 trail in Southern Africa - Land Rover Discovery says "Air Up" tires that have minimal sidewall / large diameter wheels. At 4:00min mark Note: I've gone spacers...

Keep in mind that the Discovery 5 is a cross-over, a unibody design. That is how they reduced the weight over the LR4. There are upsides AND downsides to this direction. I think the Jaguar F-Pace and Discovery 5 have similar underpinnings.

Capability Plus (HD) Disco 5's are going to be expensive .......

General Motors, John Deere want to make tinkering, self-repair illegal "The ability to modify a vehicle you've purchased is, in many ways, a fundamental part of America's car culture — and, to some extent, embedded in our culture, period. From the Fast & Furious saga to Han Solo's...

If Land Rover follows John Deere and GM down the path of "it's our vehicle, you're only driving it", it would be the last newer LR I would buy. Tractor Hack: Farmers are harnessing hacked software for John Deere repairs ".......FARMERS FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO REPAIR THEIR OWN TRACTORS That’s...
