Discovery 5 Commercial
Any intelligence on whether there are any plans for a commercial derivative?

Very much doubt it, but if you've got the cash I'm sure the SVO division will happily strip one out for you 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

As has been said already... if they can't be bothered to offer a replacement Defender before the outgoing one....

Just do as they do here in DK.
Order a normal, remove the rear seats and belts and fit metal plate over the seats:

They ain't classed as commercials so won't meet with type approval therefor the VAT reclaim maybe an issue for some.

Current rules mean the Commercial has to be built in the factory as a Commercial, for the EU market.
I do hope there is a D5 Commercial at least in 5 seater form....2016 Discovery 4 Commercial

They should just keep making the D4 commercial when the D5 comes out. Maybe ruggedize the cabin a bit more and offer a manual I think it would sell. Its a great load hauler,reliable and a class above the navara and l200MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

They shoulda, couda, wanna .....? anyone ever been 'market researched' about your opinion on new model ranges...... no, ... I thought not.... it just doesn't happen. Whats that all about?.
I struggle with the concept that nobody, contributing to this site, has ever been approached to be part of a 'consumer group' or whatever they call it now...... in regards to R&D.......
Anyone enlighten me....?2016MY Discovery HSE - Black
