wish they went similar to the approach of how they made the new G-Class and the Jeep Wrangler JL.

Land Rover went the easier route of modifying its existing unibody RWD-based platform for the new Defender instead of investing on the development of a new ladder chassis which would have cost them more $$$$.

I think you mean 4WD, I am not aware of any 2WD LR, currently. Jaguar, yes, but not Land Rover or Range Rover, maybe the much-vaunted Road Rover could be offered in a 2WD variant.

Sorry, what I meant by RWD-based is the basic longitudinal engine-RWD layout with the addition of a trasnfer case and front-drive assembly. In other words even if the Defender has no RWD version, its drivetrain layout is similar or identical to that of 4WD/AWD vehicles based on a front engine-RWD layout/architecture.



My point anyway is LR did not want to spend for a new rugged ladder frame like Jeep so it follows the same general unibody architecture as those found in other LR and Range Rover models.

New Defender will most likely have more 3-wheel action vs the old Defender or Wrangler.


PS: Technically there are 2WD LRs like the lower variants of the compact Discovery Sport for example which is offered with FWD.

and design-wise as well, if you know what i mean.
The classic "latero look" with door hinges outside and all that the G-class and Wrangler JL did. (add the new Jimny as well, looking like a the classic beaver)

What LR did was the soft, rounded looking,retro-futuristic approach of the FJ Cruiser.


Maybe my opinion might change when the next 007 movie arrives :D
