@chalzsn28284 жыл бұрын
Most reviewers seem to be missing the point. It looks great (though a little too freelander-like for me) but the owners of the previous defender loved it for 2 reason: Simplicity, low cost of maintenance and repair and extensive modifiability. This on the other hand is yet another Discovery/Range off-shoot in terms of complexity and cost. LR could have made a vehicle to get more of the off-road/wrangler/land cruiser market but this thing will appeal more to the urban set than country folk. It's going to cannibalise the discovery market share.

Bloody heck, how has AutoTrader got about 10 times better at reviewing cars than the BBC? Oh yes, Rory Reid. This work (I say 'This work' not 'His work' as I have no idea about who does what production-wise) anyway, this work makes Top Gear look like The Teletubbies. Beautifully filmed, authoritative, unbiased and accurate. I remember seeing Rory's Ghost II review in 2015 on his RecumboCars channel, I was busy & distracted watching it initially and pondering on how / who filmed it, then all of a sudden was practically moved to tears* thanks to the ability Rory has to, well to grab you and just communicate. ('You were ready for the flaws, my friend, you weren't even ready for the floors') *I say *practically*, you know what I mean. I couldn't help it, I'm emotional. As my first born said to me last week: 'it takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man'.

I expect this similarity concern will be addressed by the D5 ceasing at trying to be a part time, capable off-roader, as well as a family hauler (too much compromise !). Instead, it will be be full time, family with young kids, 3 row seat family car. It should soon lose the low range gearbox, air suspension and optional locking rear differential option, as it converts from the V6 Ford engines to ingenium powerplants, targeted at the heart of the family market. We shall see.

I am with you on the logic. Here in Houston the roads are horrendous and eat suspensions on luxury sedans, especially all around air. My LS460 with optional sport tuned air suspension is shocking on our horrible roads. Some Euro SUVs ride like lumber wagons. I find however that many SUVs do better. Plus, we also have flooding issues. In luxury sedans we are better off with non air setups. It’s crazy.

The old Defender was one of the most loved Overlanders. Because it was rugged, fixable and you didn't even need a screen to see the rear. The new Land Cruiser does that, but how far overland will this ever go? With the many variants of RR and Disco, appealing to all the urban folk, they have taken alot of love out from their rugged outdoor people. Its telling that there is no open version.
