The Mk1 Cortina-like rear lights are strange.

IMO rectangular would be more in keeping with the Grenadier ethos, and potentially easier to protect with a simple mesh cage.

I think it looks ok. But I wouldn’t consider one over the new Defender. It’s a bit dated looking already to me with it looking too bitty, too fussy for my liking. I much prefer the styling and the clean Lines of the new Defender.


For me, I struggle to see the comparison. Completely different types of vehicles. Pretty much any reason you'd want to buy the Grenadier, would be a reason you wouldn't want to have the new Defender, or vice versa.

Good luck to them though.

Any reason or rational?

It's an ersatz Defender with lots of overly fussy design appendages. If it was available as an EV I could probably overlook it's dubious styling but as is I wouldn't swap it for my 110. WARNING.

^ +1, completely agree Zed, it should be being launched as an EV, that would really take the wind out of LR’s sails (maybe even sales). But I suppose as an oil company Ineos isn’t interested in going down that route. Just like LR should be at the forefront of EV utility vehicle technology with the New Defender Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

I guess if their primary target markets are the worldwide utility/commercial/military/aid organisation sectors in "off grid" locations, then there won't be a great deal of demand for an EV version for some time.
