Quote:
It is being reported that some models in the current Land Rover Defender range may be given a reprieve from being discontinued in 2015. It is likely that the current and long-running Defender will remain in production until at least 2017, This date is, of course, two years after the suggested launch of the all-new Defender replacement - recently premiered as the DC100 concept - in 2015.

The 110 and 130 versions of the Defender are likely to be the models that stay in production after the launch of the new SWB Defender. This is thought to be as a result of changes in the legislation that was likely to end current Defender in production. It is now believed that the new 2.2-litre diesel engine for 2012 model year Defenders will meet EU6 standards of emissions regulations that will restrict diesel engine pollutants further in 2015/16. It has also been further suggested that the Defender might not have to comply with EU6 until a later date because some years ago it was reclassified as a commercial vehicle.

It is thought that more restrictive laws about pedestrian safety criteria were likely to outlaw the shape of the current Defender in 2015, but Land Rover now believes that an exemption from this mandated requirement until 2020 might be given.

The replacement SWB should not, & does not deserve to be called "Defender". SUV definitely. SWB Discovery probably. Yeti mistakenly.

I realise I am not a Land Rover fan, but a Defender & its lineage fan. The vehicle, not its makers or their nationality. (Part of this is bitterness that LR could have made the earlier Puma estates to lower road tax specs, as they do now, but did not to begin with.)

If I get another, it will be a 110 crew cab. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender
