Somehow, it looks cute and pert like a Yeti was

Me too. I like its boxy square looks , especially the shorter wheel base three door version.

And yes absolutely it looks a lot like the boxy little Skoda Yeti when viewed side on and from the rear three quarter , even the tail lights are similar.

This is the new Defender which was recently unveiled and is undergoing testing in India. I think we have a separate thread for this. MODS please merge with the existing thread.

NDTV-carandbike Exclusive: Land Rover Defender Coming To India In June 2020. Variant, trim and price details below.

• The much-awaited new Land Rover Defender will launch in India first as the Defender 110 long wheelbase variant. And then by the year-end we will get the short wheelbase Defender 90.

• It appears that the Tata Motors owned Jaguar Land Rover has an imminent hit on its hands as the new car is creating a lot of buzz; and is already in high demand in markets the world over. And now we can confirm the car will come to India in June 2020. Hot on the heels of its market debut in the US, India too will get the Defender model line in the same order as America. Yes the Defender will arrive - first in its 110 or long wheelbase avatar. The shorter Defender 90 will follow that, six months later - in December 2020. This has been confirmed to carandbike by a source at the company's UK headquarters.

• The car is expected to drive in with just the P300 (2-litre, 4-cylinder, 296 bhp) Ingenium petrol engine. Auto transmission and AWD (all-wheel-drive) will be standard. Prices are expected to stay reasonably competitive - given that the car will be a direct import. Our sources have revealed that the car will be brought to market as a CBU (completely built unit) and will subsequently go for local assembly via the CKD (completely knocked down) kits route in late 2021. The Land Rover Defender 110 is expected to be priced between ₹ 80 and 97 lakh, while the First Edition (limited launch edition) will be priced over ₹ 1.05 crore. The Defender 90 is expected at between Rs 70 and 90 lakh. These are ex-showroom price bands of course.

• The Defender will be available in 4 trims - the standard, Defender S, Defender SE and HSE. The higher two specs will get the bells and whistles like the ClearSight video-driven interior rear-view-mirror. Leather seats, the Meridian audio system, additional driver aids like blind spot warning, and a virtual instrument cluster.

• The much speculated Defender 130 (8-seater luxury touring version) - if it comes, will not arrive before the second half of 2022. The Defender will be a luxury model given its pricing. But unlike the Discovery (family, utility usage), and the Range Rover Velar (lifestyle, luxury use), the Defender will be positioned for its mad off-road capability. It will go up against the legendary Jeep Wrangler and Mercedes-Benz G350d as its key rivals, besides other premium brand SUV offerings buyers would naturally consider.
