They originally wanted it around £30k-£40k. It’s going to be affordable compared to the new Defender. Just wait for the 130 to come out as an outrageous upscale land monster. It’ll be over $100k guaranteed.This is gonna cost way more than a defender is my guess. 2 different vehicles and markets. Have they revealed a price anywhere?
I’d be very shocked if it isn’t a large order of magnitude bigger than that. We will see.They originally wanted it around £30k-£40k. It’s going to be affordable compared to the new Defender. Just wait for the 130 to come out as an outrageous upscale land monster. It’ll be over $100k guaranteed.

I’d be very shocked if you’re correct. Defenders are significantly over valued. Whether it’s the rarity gone wild or just insane love for them, the prices are wildly inflated. The absurd prices for these vehicles has somehow made people think it’s impossible for a vehicle like them to be affordable. If an old one costs $50k a new one must surely cost $100k... McGovern’s tactic for the LR brand has worked and people think anything that is a Defender, like their “new” recycled LR4 Defender replacement, which is just another car with a load of gizmos that aid in off-road situations, must be expensive. Jeep has been doing it all along at a reasonable price with less class. Ford just figured it out. Toyota will follow suit in 4-5 years.I’d be very shocked if it isn’t a large order of magnitude bigger than that. We will see.
I know of someone consulting Ineos and they’ve been clear to him at least that their target is $50-60k USD.This is gonna cost way more than a defender is my guess. 2 different vehicles and markets. Have they revealed a price anywhere?
LR wouldn't sell the old Defender production line to them but I can't help but thinking they licensed everything else in likeness/form etc to capture $$. LR trash canned most of the traditional Defender form anyway, right? Just a guess.
Any Jeep a real person would want is not reasonably priced. Base models are priced great, but you have to special order them because no dealer stocks a base model. Money is in options.... must be expensive. Jeep has been doing it all along at a reasonable price with less class.

It's a long way from a body panel mock-up to mass production in a brand new factory, by a petrochemical company no less. But Tesla was able to eventually pull it off, after fits and starts, so who knows.
