Defender Sport?

Anyone heard any more news on the new smaller Defender "Sport" that all the motoring press reported on back in 2023? There doesn't seem to be any updates since those reports and leaked photos a year ago.

Apparently it was going to be "all electric" but recently a few manufacturers in the U.K. have gone back on their full EV plans in favour of I/C engines.

They’ll be making a huge mistake if they are late to the party because the baby G class will wrap up the market. WARNING.

Was it ever actually confirmed? I’ve never seen anything official on it.

Too busy wondering what to do with Jaguar?

Jaguar dealers will have no new cars to sell in 2025 as carmaker readies luxury electric GT for ’26

https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/ja...-26/306287

JLR dealers won’t be selling any new Jaguars for most of 2025, as the British carmaker plans to scrap Jaguar’s entire range in readiness to reposition it as a luxury pure-electric brand.

JLR ended production of the XE and XF saloons and the F-Type sports car earlier this year, while in July it confirmed it would axe the E-Pace small SUV by the end of 2024.

It had been hoped Jaguar’s sole electric model, the I-Pace, would remain in production until the firm’s repositioning as an exclusively high-end maker of EVs, but it too will be cut to boost the brand’s profits.

Not surprised. Their line is so old it will take ages to sell
All the stock they already have and trying to selll the remaining I-Pace will be even more difficult.

Last I heard it was going to be electric, based on the EMA platform so will be built at Halewood plant.

I think Discovery 6 is more of a priority for JLR and we’re likely to see that before any additional Defender. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue
23.5MY 90 D250 X-Dynamic SE, Pangea Green - Gone
22MY 110 D250 XS Edition, Hakuba Silver - Gone
21MY 90 D200 S, Tasman Blue - Gone
