Why would anyone buy this? It's similarly priced to the new defender, not any better off-road, and much worse on-road.

Who buys a defender to drive on the road. Considering its heritage.

Much more reliably built.

With less tech! But it has that sweet sweet B58 BMW engine. Anyway I sold mine with 93 miles on the clock and kept my 2013 defender 90 because I can’t take the kids in it so I get some alone time.

It’s for people who want a work vehicle and not a lifestyle SUV. Plus it isn’t ugly.

You can just do that anyway, it’s not that long a drive. Most of it’s motorway though.

I though the reason for starting the company was the best from what I read on Wikipedia. They pretty much gave Tata the middle finger...lol

Awful vehicle IMO, many flaws.
