In Australia you usually have to add the Govt stamp duty, Luxury car tax and GST on top of the
advertised price, a D250 110 S i got quoted for two weeks ago was $106K, but on road cost with govt
charges put it nearer to $130K.. the X Dynamic SE starts at $130K drive away before you add any extras.


Thanks for clarifying the additional on road charges zilch Thumbs Up

(Sarcastic voice on) I now feel a lot better knowing it’s only at least $32K more when sold in UK 😊😊

Great video, both vehicles taken further off road than 99% of owners will ever go. But nice to know how capable they are

Sadly most Defenders (and probably Lexus) are wasting away on the school run.


But people buy them for school runs and when Landrover designed and marketed them they aimed for that market, NOT for the offroad market. Is it capable: sure! Is it an offroader: no. Both the manufacturer and the consumer never intended for the vehicle to be used as an offroader
