It's highly unlikely. For white fleet, they seem to have already gone over to cheap pick ups and for combat they favour bigger vehicles, these days. Darren

I believe the reason that they stayed with the TDi Defenders was that they had no fancy electronics to get wiped in the event of a nuclear attack. They went as far as to re-engine old ones to keep them going until TDci came out and one reason for continuing to buy they disappeared - they became too complex electronically to be repaired on the battle ground.

The guy in the government post for the MOD has just bought 50 Evoques as they were the cheapest and because they all look the same so what could possible go wrong  |

I guess it may be too expensive to de-spec these and issue more widely:

I understood they used Defenders for so long was because they fit in the helicopters. A lot of newer vehicles are too wide.

Yup, there are air portability procurement specs out there, but making that work on the volumes that would be ordered has proved challenging.
Or so a bloke I know in the pub said he was told by someone who sells eggs to someone who has a cousin who knows......

Previous versions have had JLR underpinnings/components, not sure about this one. |

On the subject of new multirole stuff, here's the replacement for the Humvee looking all lovely....
Click image to enlarge https://www.defenceprocurementinternationa...production MOD are considering these to replace (some of) the Iveco Panther fleet that they decided they didn't want. (Note they didn't take a pic from the front, as it has a face only its mother could love)
