2020 Defender Spy Shots....

[naks]

from a JLR employee & Defender driver who got a preview today:

Well I went this afternoon had a look...…………...Bloody AWESOME..... Some styling from the old one used in a certain way...The roof, Alpine windows and the rear of it shaped similar to our muched loved models. The rear lights tho been more RR than the old Mini sort.

Plenty of potential for other a commercial version but not to sure on the pick up. We only saw the 90 version with is a 5 seater, plenty of leg room behind front seats but not really a boot. The dash board has style designs from the old RED prototype at Gaydon, with a big long deep tray from dash pinnacle to passenger door. Auto box and nice touch screen in middle of dash board.

Big chunky motor, that....hopefully if we can build them right, will do us good at JLR..

Chatting to a few of the other fellas there, we reckon we should really build it at....THE HOME OF THE LEGEND...

YEAH, had a good look around and underneath front, felt very tough plastic, holes for spot lights and winch . great approach angle

will the defender come with longer than 3 yr warranty, and do you realistically expect these to be relatively easy to maintain, as opposed to reputation of older models?

Yes, things tend to get better not worse, despite some people who claim that they still wish they were fixing points and carburetors.

Argh and LOL

"...............Big chunky motor, that....hopefully if we can build them right ................"

Which begs the question, you didn't before and JLR is seeing high warrant claim / failure rates?

Ladder

If it is, it starts quite high up. Are you meant to climb on the wheel and then the ladder?

I like this front end!

Might be the best rendering I’ve seen yet and makes it look better that the Bond leak. View attachment 535958

That actually looks pretty cool. Doesnt appear to have the same roots as the old defenders though...might be a good thing but I liked the old ones.

It's got some pretty big shoes to fill if it hopes to compete with the JLUR. I am hopeful!

Looks like a rrc front
