• New Defender leaked.

• Starts at £45k (steel wheels) and goes up from there. A lot. 3.0 petrol X is near £80k and with all the options (tho it comes with a lot on) and accessories you can crack £100k

• The TD6 engine has been dropped

• Getting back on topic - I just thought to check what 3.0d engine is on the full day Range Rover - it’s the 258bhp still and not the 300 that’s now fitted to the D5. So they haven’t dropped the e ...

• The TD6 engine has been dropped

• That’s what he said but yes what you at is a good point - I wonder if it is more to do with the loss of the third row of seats (as in the leccy Audi Q7) and or towing and or full size spare wheel. T ...

• The TD6 engine has been dropped

• Interesting - the 300bhp 3.0d is £2700 more than 240 bhp 2.0d. The previous 3.0d was I think £1,500 more than the 2.0d. So 40-50bhp for an extra £1,200

• 1st steps towards a D5, a few questions

• The two litre petrol may be worth a look? According to reviews, more low down grunt than the 3.0 petrol and the lighter weight than diesel makes the front end a bit keener to turn in. Mpg not great bu ...

• Never noticed my 2Ltr run out of gusto. Pulls and accelerates very well. No jerky gear changes either.
  
  Admittedly doesn’t sound as good but certainly feels robust enough. Certainly a match for t ...

• 2.0 vs 3.0

• TDV6 in Jag is twin turbo and gives about 300bhp, D5 is single turbo and pretty well maxed out at 258bhp
  
  Is it really single turbo in D5? Have done some frantic googling to check but not found any ...

• That is already all achievable with a Tesla model X (albeit for a hideous amount of money), so I don't know why I would have to wait decades for it

• Also worth noting that the hybrid option in RRSport seems to mean you cannot tow, have a full size spare or the third row of seats. Don't know what of those would be lost on the D5 - I'd be surprised ...
