I hope this is true. I'd be curious to drive the new 2.2 in it. Power output is unchanged they say. I wonder how it feels to drive.

I know it's wrong but 2.2 litres just sounds too small for a Defender!!

2.4 is small enough!

But yes, I'm aware that even 2 litre diesels can pump out over 200bhp in some road cars... Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

With the comments that the power is exactly the same do you think it would seem much different to our 2.4s? John

Nope - it's just the thought of going smaller that's all! A big 2 tonne 110 with a 2.2 just seems a bit wrong...! Same when the T5 Transporters went from 2.5 5 pots to 2.0 4 pots - power actually increased but it still "feels" a bit wrong! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Still available according to the LR website though it's from 'Professional Vehicles' which I assume used to be Special Vehicles Confused http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/lr/defender...fessional/

Edit: Still says 2.4l so LR website hasn't been updated (I'll shut up...)

Don't be so literal John! It's bound to sound/feel different somehow. Engine tone with every Defender engine is different. Same engine, but different stroke but as said by others it does sound like too weedy an engine in such a vehicle.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be literal - just thinking if it would feel much different. Good point about the sound though, hadn't thought of that. John

Korando engine XDi200 delivers 173 HP@4000 rpm and 36 kgm/2000-3000 rpm and I`m sure it`s better than a fordy Puma 110" SW

If this is true and the 110/130 will possible go on until 2020 they can hardly call the DC100 a Defender as the "older" Defender will still be in production. My guess is that the DC100 will be introduced as a new standalone model and the boffins at Solihihull will get more time to come up with a "real" replacement for the Defender.
Also regarding the above, I happen to like the sound of the Tdci engine. I think it sounds refined compared to the tdi. It pulls willingly and over long distances it is a joy to use. So long as it does the job the cc does not bother me. Overall the Puma gets the thumbs up from me. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali
2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu
2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai
