Look longer than the 4, certainly will have a longer rear overhang (front overhand also appears slightly longer as well). Wonder what that will mean for approach/departure angles? Also curious to see how they will handle the two hitch.
Happy to see the seating flexibility will remain, and have the ability to have more room behind the 3rd row would be most welcome. Will miss the split tailgate, and my prayers that they dump the damn rotary shift know fell on deaf ears...
EDIT: Just watched the video, everybody should have a look. Many new features. They've tried to address the tailgate issue with a integral power folding "inner tailgate" platform to sit on, looks somewhat cumbersome.
For towing, an integral, power fold tow ball, which itself has an integral sensor to measure tongue weight. I want to know if they will offer just a receiver as this seems like a recipe for failure. 3500 kg stated capacity. Dan...?
Approach, departure and breakover angles claimed to be improved over LR4. Improvements to Terrain Response including new auto mode and new traction and stability control.
Overwhelming amount of new tech, hope it is reliable. If so they will have made a major leap over the competition.
Design is growing on me in the video. Claimed 480kg lower chassis weight, total weight likely quite a bit less than that once configured. Def moving the Disco upmarket, should be interesting to see pricing.
