    Unfortunately not, they haven't arrived in ZA yet. Dealer is having a launch of sorts next week or the week after, will test drive one then. Not that the Mrs will let me have one 😐

    Looks like it can do farm work 🤣

    German review, with some mild off-roading

    yes, you are correct - the cross-linking is only on each axle, hence why I understood it to mimic the behaviour of a solid axle

    And because lockdown is so boring...

    A shorter version, with different perspectives, filmed by someone outside of the car:

    Thing is, that's exactly how a solid axle behaves, so LR was trying to 'replicate' that behaviour with the cross-linking. At least that's how I understand it.

    Danish review, with some light off-roading

    Thanks! I would have used the same lines if I had ATs on, but with road tyres I had to look for rocks to get the best grip. On the loose soil, these tyres just don't get any grip. Yes, I think all the modern LRs have cross-linked suspension, both front and rear. But I could be wrong.

    Bog standard, I reckon the L494 is anywhere between 20-10% less able than the Puma. If the new Defender is anywhere between 10-20% better than the L494 - which, by all accounts it is with the better approach/departure angles & ground clearance - then yes, it will be just as good off-road, if not better. I'm busy uploading my video to YouTube, will post it once it's processed. You will see how I have to take different lines to the Defenders, so you obviously have to drive it in a different way to a Defender.

    Since today was a public holiday in ZA, couple of friends & I went to a nearby trail for some fun off-roading (https://www.tierkloof4x4.com/). They were in Defenders and I was able to keep up (with some rock-packing and spotter guidance). This is a fairly technical trail, and a few people on our local LR WhatsApp group were very surprised that I completed the whole trail! The 90 has massive MT tyres and front & rear ARB lockers, the 110 is standard with regular MTs. I would rate the trail a 4 in the dry, and 5+ in the wet. Thankfully it had stopped raining a few days ago, so the trail was damp but not wet/muddy. Here are some photos, the YouTube video will be up tomorrow.

    a few people on the Defender2 forum have got theirs already, IIRC one guy in Scotland and one guy in the US already took delivery.

    🤣🤣 Land Rover Defender + Honda Element Mashup Is So Wrong, It’s Right: https://sports.yahoo.com/land-rover-defender-honda-element-133354216.html "A perfect front end swap. The new Land Rover Defender is finally here and after decades of selling the same design, the Defender finally had to contend with modern design influences. The new defender promises to bring the classic rugged Defender into the modern age blending cutting-edge tech with timeless durability. The exterior design of the new Defender has caused the greatest stir and today’s rendering will certainly keep this conversation going. The team over at car front swaps has made their mark on the new Land Rover Defender grafting the front end of the Honda Element on to the front of the Defender. The results are surprisingly cohesive which is probably not something Defender fans want to hear right now. But there’s no denying that the front end of the Honda Element looks right at home on the Land Rover Defender matching the rest of the design seamlessly."

    Review with plenty of off-roading, although I do not know what language that is
