Morning!
I’m sure you would have all the recent Defender facelift that was spied in the UK. I did some analysis of it for my Instagram page so I’ll just post the pictures here for your viewing.
I think the updates will look cool, but make the car a bit less timeless. We will see.
I don’t think this is a facelift - JLR wouldn’t do a big facelift and do another one a year or two later.
I think it might be the new V8 model. The AJ133 has been out of production for a few years now, and they only have so many stockpiled up. Plus it’s the last car to use that engine. The OCTA-esque front bumper to me implies that the BMW 4.4 V8 is is under the hood. The 523 horsepower version currently in the P530 tune of the RR & RRS would make sense as a replacement for the AJ133 in the Defender.
