I heard from a little birdy that it will be at least 2020 until the new defender is released.
The reason i heard was Euro7 is going to balls up the majority of Euro6 cars mainly down to revs because of poor Aerodynamics and high weight. LR is supposedly Waiting on Euro7 compliant engines or Brexit to overturn the regulations before committing. But Apparently The defender or its replacement will have airbags and chassis crumple zones. Apparently they';re going to have trouble getting the disco and the RRs to pass (because of the weight) on current engines and are ramping down production on standard power plants and supplanting with PEVs and hybrids. (to be fair i'd love to see a hybrid 90 with a 1L fox engine) According to the same source there is a rumour among JLR that the Disco is threatened to be dropped because its competing with RR products which they make better margins on, and want to streamline production but the only reason this hasn't happened is because everything will then be under the Range rover brand.

I can see what you are saying, but a lot of that doesn’t stack up for me.
Brexit - Whatever happens, Euro 7 emissions won’t be affected. They come in for Europe and other territories that use that standard such as Oz. There is zero chance we won’t adopt that standard too in my view. The key issue on Brexit will be where they decide to build stuff. Also Euro 7 is not a surprise, they’ve got plenty of notice and if diesels don’t work in big cars they’ll just switch back to petrol and make everything hybrid. Europe has too much to lose by introducing a standard the car industry can’t acjieve. It’ll be the same boat for anyone making big cars so LR aren’t alone. If indeed Discos are cannibalising RR sales all they’ve got to do is take it a bit down market and leave the uber luxury and tech to RR with a delayed trickle down to LR. VAG are masters of selling the same stuff at all different price so it can be done. Having said all that, I agree we won’t see the new Def until 2020  2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |
