Can’t believe it’s now three years since this was unveiled. Presumably the facelift will be along soon?

Don’t hold your breath for any major changes, it will be the usual changes to the lights front and rear and perhaps interior tweaks and a massive price hike to justify them.
The price is what puts me off ever touching one again. It’s just not worth Range Rover money. I’m a big Disco fan but all good things come to an end.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I agree price is a lot but dont underestimate how much its competitors are for the same or less.
TBF to the disco - top spec is easily comparable to the range rovers which have then stepped up.
Cant think of a feature mine has that the range rover would deliverMike

As for the pricing, the D5 I bought had a price of around £72000 list, including options, on the road, but after discount it netted down to just less than £60000, which although still ridiculous made it a better option than a Defender, which have no discounts. I know depreciation maybe higher but by the time I sell it, we will all be driving electric hybrids.
The 2 things I don’t like about the Defender are the small boot and crap engine choices, the D5 solved that.
