Hi, everyone!
This episode will be dedicated to rumors about upcoming Defender models from Land-Rover. Yes, the "basic" model was presented relatively recently, but it looks like British carmaker would like to leverage well-known name. We might see several more versions which will include pickup and even more luxury model.
So the main idea is to have three lineups - Discovery with two models, Range-Rover with at least four different cars and Defender with at least three cars. Please note that all this info is not announced officially and it might turn out that we would see only Defender pickup. Nevertheless, it looks like cheap version got axed as not suitable for the new brand.
In my opinion, luxury Defender will be posed in a quite difficult position. First of all it will have to offer some luxury inside, but that's not difficult because original new Defender is kind of simple inside. Nevertheless, the second problem might be a bit more serious because such version can rival Range-Rover. British carmaker will have to do a lot of work in order to differentiate them. Well, we can bet that Range-Rover will become even more luxurious in the new generation what would make the whole differentiation task a bit easier. Third problem is Discovery models range, because even now Defender takes away customers from its "brother", and there is no use in denying it.
While Pickup is quite simple thing to imagine, I wonder how top-tier version will be styled. Who knows, maybe such type will get its own platform in order to give drivers better experience behind steering wheel. Some people are talking about possible SVR version, but in my opinion it would look strange on this car. Moreover, it would be wise to limit SVR badge to Range-Rover cars only.
Oh, by the way, don't forget about 130 version of the Defender - even longer and more spacious offroader. This might be a good choice for upcoming V8 engine. Long vehicle will be mainly targeted at USA and China markets which have high demand for big vehicles. As for the Discovery...well, Land-Rover designers will have a hard time designing the next generation of this car...
That's all for today, I hope you enjoyed this episode.
I will see you next time.
Bye!
