Well I have seen the 90 in the flesh at Goodwood Revial and really wanted to love it.
The 90 looks odd with the rear panel (which you have to have if you go roofrack), it was cordoned off on the Saturday and Sunday, I was wondering if that was because on the preproduction one the arches were coming off. The one they had was green with the protection film. I would love to see a 90 with the full rear window. But too much gloss black trim.
Boot on the 90 is not that much more usable than the Jimny, interior is very nice and 110 probably is the better resolved and has the air suspension as standard.
Outside was a bit over stilled and felt a bit cheap, rear looks a bit like ne of the old Vitara.
Even JLR see it as steeling sales from Disco 5 and seems a more fitting evolution of Disco 4.
JLR have tapped into the options market on these for sure and who can blame them.
A car that decided opinion there from many Land Rover owners but always going to have a difficult act to follow.
Deliveries I believe are due in March. For me JLR just seem to make cars that steel sales from their own range at the moment.
Best detail is the rear lights which are beautiful.
The new Defender has higher CO2 emissions than the Jimny, which makes you wonder if throttling the Jimny production has anything to do with C02 emissions. LR wants theirs to be a high volume global product regardless of the EU restrictions?
Four cylinder petrol P300. 227g/km
Six cylinder petrol mild hybrid P400e 220g/km.
Four Cylinder diesels D200/D240. 199g/ km.
Jimny 1.5 manual 154g/km
I remember my Suzuki dealer commenting on the high emissions of the Jimny ( a strange opening gambit) and I thought at the time, compared to what?
I was trading in a big diesel and felt good about a smallish petrol engine.

If this vehicle had a Discovery name attached to it, then it would make sense. This is what a Discovery 4/5 should have been.
But sticking a Defender badge to this vehicle is like sticking a Wrangler badge on a Jeep Compass.
This vehicle has nothing to do with the Defender, except for the towing capacity and load carrying ability (I would like to see that ability of a unibody on undulated terrain though).
